Dragging this thread back to actual errata: any new submissions?
I think I had some DonM, but I seem to have misplaced them or I could be thinking about errata for one of the other versions. If I find them I'll send them to you.

World Building Charts Step 42. Facilities
1. Population DM
Applying a DM +1 for having the minimum requirement population 8 does not make sense when compared with the Research lab requirement that the main world be at TL 9+ and a DM +2 is applied for the main world TL being 10+.
My recommendation if I am not out to lunch is to update the Consolidated TNE Errata with the following entry:
Page 195, Step 43, Facilities, Military Base (Correction): DM +1 if main world population is 9+
2. Atmosphere DM
A subordinate world with the same atmosphere code as the main world has a DM +. What is the DM value. Checking in the MT Referee's Manual Extended System Generation page 29 Step 43 the Military Base entry has the same missing data.
Consolidated MT Errata page 22 has the following entry:
My recommendation is to modify the entry as follows:

MV = Hull Size Table Material Volume
MVM = Hull Form and Configuration Table Material Volume Multiplier
Ht = Hull Thickness
AF = Hull Form and Configuration Table Airframe
TNE FF&S Mk I Mod 0 p. 11 Surface Area: Surface Area in square meters is the hull material volume (after hull form and airframe modifications, but without adjustment for hull thickness) multiplied by 100 or Sa = MV x MVM x AF x 100 = ___m^2.

TNE FF&S Mk I Mod 1 pages 88-89
Morning DonM,
To save time when building the various spreadsheets to aid my efforts in using TNE FF&S Mk I Mod 0 I have been building a spreadsheet that has tables and other information in one location. TNE FF&S Mk I Book 2 Chapter 14 Fire Control the Ballistic Computers Table, page 88, indicates that they have a volume requirement. There is no explanation under the table on how volume is determined. The Indirect Fire Control Sights table, page 89, appears to have omitted the explanation for TL and Vol:.
1. TNE FF&S Mk I Mod 0 Ballistic Computers Table page 88 has a note that allows the purchase of a ballistic computer at one TL higher than the weapon that the system will be used with. The price, weight, and volume is multiplied by 10.
The first issue is that neither the Ballistic Computers table or column explanation notes mention how volume is calculated.
I posted a question on the main TNE forum about the ballistic computer volume and jec10 recommended that the Sights and Rangefinders Vol: note be used.
Another issue is that the note about being able to purchase a ballistic computer at on TL higher than the weapon multiplies the weight and volume by 10.
If a ballistic computer's volume = mass, per the Sights and Rangefinder's Vol: explanation, the ballistic computer's volume per the TL one higher note appears to suggest that the volume of a ballistic computer would be (mass x 10) x 10.
I would like to suggest adding an entry in the Consolidated TNE Errata that Ballistic Computers Volume = Mass and a clarification that adding a ballistic computer one TL higher than the weapon volume = mass x 10.
2. Indirect Fire Sights, page 88, indicates that indirect fire sights have equipment that allows precise calibration or elevation and traverse enabling the gunner to make exact corrections. The table on page 89 has mass and price requirements but does not mention anything about volume. At a guess the components that allow the elevation and traverse of the weapon does have a volume requirement. The question is how much volume do the components use?
Looking at the Sights and Rangefinders, Stabilization, Beam Pointers, and Master Fire Directors Tables my first inclination is that Indirect Fire Sights volume in cubic meters equals mass in tonnes. After some more thought the components for the Indirect Fire Sights volume could be small enough not to matter.
Two suggestions for possible errata.
The first suggestion is that Indirect Fire Sights Volume in m^3 = Mass in tonnes.
The second suggestion is a note that the Indirect Fire Sights volume is subsumed into the weapons volume.

One thing that did change between printings (but isn't in the Errata at present) is the piece about increasing attributes (top of Page 27 in the Mark 1 Mod I printing). It's rather important, since it's a good use thing to do, and tends to generate more respectable asset values for PCs (who might otherwise find their stats degrade by ageing).

Morning Donald McKinney,
The Consolidated TNE Errata version 0.03 01/02/2012 for Brilliant Lances does include the entries from Brilliant Lances Additions, Clarifications, and Corrections August 9, 1993 0303/C3 document included in the boxed set.
I purchased the PDF of Brilliant Lances Mk I Mod 0 (February 1994) from DriveThruRPG and compared the Brilliant Lances Additions, Clarifications, and Corrections August 9, 1993 0303/C3 document. The comparison shows that 1994 edition is missing some of the material listed in the 1993 document.
Additions
Hit Procedure, Rules Booklet page 18
The list of difficulty modifiers for fire tasks omits the +1 Diff Mod if the firing ship rolled a Catastrophic Failure on an Evasion attempt for the current turn. This is included in the flow chart on the player aids card.
Clarifications
Missiles, Technical Booklet page 10
All missiles have an absolute range of 0 (same hex).
Corrections
Drones, Technical Booklet page 18
On the TL-14 drone, G-turns should be 4/1, and duration 96. The Mk 1 Mod 0 Drone on page 18 lists the duration as 95.
Clarification for all ships
Unless listed as having a folding array, all passive EMS arrays are assumed to be fixed. Unless specified, hits for MFDs apply to all types installed aboard ship, missile/beam and beam only.

Hello whartung,
Thank you for the reply which resulted in finding more information to support my suggestion that the notation for missiles should be changed from "M" to "Msl".
In my original post I cited Battle Rider page 12 that the notation for missiles was "Msl" versus the "M" shown on the BB Voroshilef-1 counter used as the example. Had I been more observant and read the details for the counter my suggested errata and correction would have been more complete.

Spinal mount beam weapons are long meson guns and particle accelerators along the centerline, or spine, of the ship. If a vessel has two different parallel spinal mount weapons, they are listed in the spinal mount and top secondary beam weapons fields and enclosed in a box. (The Admiral-class Battle Riders, which have both a meson gun and particle accelerator in the spinal mount position, are examples of this.)
From BB Voroshilef-1:
Spinal Mount Beam Weapons M(-2)6:12-10-6-4 indicates that the spinal weapon is a meson gun.
Fourth entry from the top page 3
Secondary beam weapons include bay weapons, barbette weapons, and occasionally smaller accelerators mounted radially in a spherical hull ship. (The Voroshilef-class battleship is an example of this.)
From BB Voroshilef-1:
Line 2. Secondary Beam Weapons M(x2-2)4:10-6-4-2 my guess is the hull has two meson gun bays installed.
Line 3. Secondary Beam Weapons P(x2-2)10:10-10-10-6 my guess is that the hull also has two particle accelerator bays.
Fifth entry from the top page 3
Turret-mounted beam weapons are lasers usually used as anti-missile weapons.
From BB Voroshilef-1:
Line 4. Turret Beam Weapons L(x20-2)10:1-1-0-0 is an indication that the hull has twenty laser turrets.
Twelfth entry from the top page 3
Missiles: If the ship has missiles, the notation "Msl:" will appear hear, followed first by the number of missile directors on the ship and then (in parentheses) by the number of ready missiles carried.
From BB Voroshilef-1:
Right Side of the counter.
Line 4. Missiles M:20(200)
Based on the rules provided earlier this notation indicates a meson gun not missiles.
In this case I do not feel that the more notations of "M" for missiles is correct and my recommendation for consideration as errata still appears to be appropriate.
BATTLE RIDER (0308, 1994)
Page 2 BB Voroshilef-1 Counter Diagram (correction): One the right hand side of the diagram the fourth line down from the top is the label Missiles. Per pages 3 and 12 the counter notation for Missiles is Msl: not M.
Page 12, right column, Missiles second paragraph BB Voroshilef-1 counter (correction): Per the second paragraph the notation for missile is "Msl:". The last sentence of the second paragraph states that the Voroshilef for example has 40 missile directors and 200 ready missiles. The fourth entry on the right side of the Voroshilef counter has the notation of M:40(200). The notation should be "Msl:40(200)
All of the ship counters have the Missile notation of M which per Battle Rider page 12 the notation should be Msl.
Again thank you whartung for making me do a second check in the Battle Rider Rules Book.
Respectfully,
Thank you for the reply which resulted in finding more information to support my suggestion that the notation for missiles should be changed from "M" to "Msl".
If there are more "M"s than "Msl"s, then perhaps it's the "Msl"s that are wrong, not the "M"s.
In my original post I cited Battle Rider page 12 that the notation for missiles was "Msl" versus the "M" shown on the BB Voroshilef-1 counter used as the example. Had I been more observant and read the details for the counter my suggested errata and correction would have been more complete.

Secondary beam weapons include bay weapons, barbette weapons, and occasionally smaller accelerators mounted radially in a spherical hull ship. (The Voroshilef-class battleship is an example of this.)

TNE Brilliant Lances Technical Booklet page 2 Hull Form & Configuration Table
Hello Donald McKinney,
TNE Brilliant Lances Technical Booklet page 2 Hull Form & Configuration Table sixth column is tagged as "L" with the note L: The length of the hull in meters. For spherical hulls, this is also the diameter.
Recommend changing the material above to match TNE FF&S page 12.
BRILLIANT LANCES (0303, 1993)
Page 2 Hull Form and Configuration Table fifth column tag (correction): Change L to LM
Page 2 Hull Form and Configuration Table Note L: (correction): Change note from "L: The length of the hull in meters. For spherical hulls, this is also the diameter." to " LM: length Multiplier. Multiply the length (L) obtained from the Hull Size Table by LM to get the length for a particular hull form.
