There was also Tracial Steiner as the Daughter of Craig Steiner, the existence of the Dieron Regulars despite the fact that there was no Dieron Prefecture, Tancredi IV former capital of the Draconis March as an OWA world... The fact checkers and editors really dropped the ball on this, which is sad because this is the best product Catalyst has done in a while- far better then the last 2 Handbooks.

These are text errors, not RAT errors. Why not ask CGL and get a definitive answer on the subject instead of just saying it's wrong? 

I've presented possible explanations, but I'm not claiming the RAT to be in error or not until told otherwise. Then again, (not to be the voice of reason or anything but...) you could just ignore the TBolt when you Roll on it and roll again.

Then we've side stepped the whole thing.

Looking at the RAT it specifically lists the Assault class as 80-100 tons and then has then Thunderbolt (TDR-5S to be specific) listed as 65 tons.  I understand what you are saying about it be a type of weapon vs weight but if this isn't an error I would be shocked.

The Dieron Regulars is very odd. Given the fact that the Algedi Regulars were thrown out by Battlecorps I expected to see an Algedi District.

Most of this is being picked up in the errata thread on CBT.  However, it is always a good idea to drop any such catches in if you see them, so the free update is clean and clear.

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

A perfect first edition would be a miracle (and this is the same with all editors).

I'm curious: Svartalfa Ultra ProtoMech? Is this a unit that weighs more than 9 tons?

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

I don't even care about the units so far. The entire TRO is worth the Tech Advancement table at the back. Actual tech advancement in Battletech. Tournament legal fuel cell engines. THAT. IS. AWESOME.

Most importantly, it bodes very, very well for CGL's vision of the Dark Age and the future era after that. The playing field, and even the whole paradigm can finally begin to see change.

For those of you who don't frequent CBT, here is a summary of the TRO: Prototypes thread, without even having looked at it.

My faction diddn't get enought stompy stuff.

TPTB are screwing us, my faction is doomed.

Why did your faction get all the cool stuff as your faction is not good enough to be in BT?

It's to big.

It's not big enough.

The new artists suck.

Why can't one artist do all the art?

Hey, I designed that Mech wayback in the day.

And so on and so forth...
