If it's necessary, I'm offering myself to help making it possible. |
Great idea! |

I have a question regarding linked fire weapons (the page numbers are for first/second versions), I'm not sure if it is a mistake or I am misunderstanding the application.
p.137/135 states:
| Quote: | | Fire-linked weapons can be rigged to fire separately, but subtract damage, using the rules on combined fire. (Let's use the X-wing example. The four fire-linked laser cannons do 6D damage. The pilot decides to fire each cannon separately. Using the 'combined actions' rule, four characters working together get a bonus of +1D+2. That means subtract −1D+2 from each cannon's damage: the cannons individually do 4D+1 damage.) |
whereas p.86/84 (combined actions) states:
| Quote: | | If the command roll is successful, the combined action bonus is +1D for every three characters combining. Add a +1 for one 'extra' character and a +2 for two 'extra' characters. |
(I think that should probably be "every three 'extra' characters", but I suspect just saying 'one pip per additional character' would be clearer and sufficient then give an examples for the commander aiding and the commander not aiding - I think the example bonus might be for when the commander aids even thought the previous example stated he was only supervising, as 8 is 1+7 additional and thus only 2D+1 as a bonus)
So if there are 4 "characters" working together there is 1 who receives the bonus and 3 extra characters.
Therefore the bonus is +1D, not the +1D+2 that the fire-linked section states.
The X-wing's laser cannons should do 5D damage, not 4D+1.
Is this a correct ? |

page # 80, lower right, in the section labeled Actions That Take Time...
| Quote: | | Communicate: Relay plans or exchange complex ideas and information with other characters (more than a sentence or two). (communication skill or only roleplaying) |
That would normally be the language skill, not communications. And even then it would normally only be rolled if the speaker and/or recipient were not fluent in the language being spoken.

|
|
I just noticed that an error that began in the 2e core book (1992) and was carried over to R&E (1996) has now made it through two editions of REUP and STILL defies correction!
page # 259, upper right, in the section labeled TIMEKEEPING AND THE CALENDAR
| Quote: | | There are 60 standard seconds in a standard hour, 24 standard hours in a standard day, five standard days in a standard week and seven standard weeks in a standard month. |
Even in the SWU, there are not only 60 seconds in an hour. Of course, the sentence should read:
| Quote: | | There are 60 standard seconds in a standard minute, 60 standard minutes in a standard hour, 24 standard hours in a standard day, five standard days in a standard week and seven standard weeks in a standard month. |
This error has perpetuated over 23 standard years! I think this justifies REUP Mk III.

^ then again, if an issue defies correction for nearly a quarter century, maybe it's earned its place in the Rulebook.
...I kid, I kid.
Besides, based on the rules, it's not been 23 years but rather only 140 days. If there are, after all, 60 standard seconds in a standard hour. |

Welcome to the Pit, Azzy!
Unfortunately, the REUP team mysteriously abandoned the project many years ago, so it is what it is. |
Thank you. That's sad to hear, but like you said, it is what it is. |

Welcome to the Pit.
It was recently announced over on the SWD6 Discord that someone is doing a re-write of REUP and incorporating the various Errata. He posted a link the Google Drive where he has the latest version of the file: Link.
I don't have any information beyond that, but if you are on Discord, here is the Join Link to the SWD6 group.

| I've collected all of the errata posted here and will incorporate it into the forthcoming refresh. Thank you all so much for taking the time to post this over the past 9 years... |
