Please check me on this...
FB1 p11: example ship second sub-total is wrong. Should be 101 points,
not 95. (This is consistent with the sustems fitted and with the final total.)
FB2 p18: Do'San class Follower Sliver Mother should be 691 points, not 671:
Item Mass Points
Basic Hull (180) 180
Hull Integrity 54 108
FTL Drive 18 36
Main Drive (Thrust 4A) 36 108
Sub-total 108 432
Class 3 K-gun (1 arc) x 4 20 80
Class 1 K-gun (6 arc) x 3 6 24
Fighter Bay x 4 36 108
FCS x 3 3 12
Scattergun x 7 7 35
Sub-total 72 259
Total 180 691

No, it should be 98 points. Check the FB1 section of the FT FAQ at
http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Station/3565/faq-index.html . The
example design only uses 84 of its 85 Mass.

Correct. This was pointed out about a week after FB2 was published, but the
FT FAQ doesn't seem to have included it yet - Tim?

Ah. I evidently have a different FB1 printing (it's still copyright 1998, but
I bought it at Colours this year); the example ship design
in mine is correct in everything except the second sub-total.
All the errata noted at that web page have been corrected in my FB1; I did
check before posting. (A few of the FB2 errata have also been corrected in my
copy of that.)
Am I correct in my reading of the rules, that there is no _human_
weapon which can attack a fighter group that is not itself attacking
a ship? The old ADAF didn't have this limitation; is it a mis-phrasing?
(Certainly, scatterguns and interceptor pods seem to be able to do this.)
Also: is list consensus that the maximum-thrust-of-8 restriction has
been lifted?

Yes.

OK.

Yes.

Correct.

It certainly was Jon's intention. ALL of the FT2 design rules (pps
29-32)
have been replaced by the FB1/FB2 rules.
