Are there plans to issue an errata list for the most recent changes to the CRB? Herolab Online has inferred they won't update the Starfinder info until that is available.
More importantly, it's frustrating to have try and find the changes otherwise.
Please issue an errata!

Some of the changes are already listed on our FAQ/Errata page; the rest of the changes will be added to that page as soon as we are able. Thanks for your patience!

Joe, do you think you could note on the FAQ/Errata page which items (including any new items) have been included in the new printing of the CRB? Just a superscript or other marking would be really helpful. That way if you're new and using the newest CRB PDF, you know which FAQ entries you can skip, and if you want to know what's new in the newest CRB printing you can identify it quickly.

A .pdf listing all the changes would be top.

Thanks the quick response!
So, uh, not to open a can of worms, but are what we to make of the majority of starships published so far being overbudgeted now?
I've only just started checking the math but, for example, the new weapon costs mean all of the Drake-class ships for PCs in Starfinder Society are way over the BP limit for their tier, and that's not even bringing the design budget optional rule into consideration.

What's this about increased weapon costs because if they're having that effect its cause for concern.
The short version is that the Core Rulebook errata increased the BP costs for coilguns and most heavy, capital, and tracking weapons, quite considerably in some cases. (Also, a handful of weapons light weapons got cheaper.)
The errata also recalculates how NPC starships determine their gunnery bonuses.
The sample ships in the Core Rulebook use the new gunnery math, but as far as I've seen so far, they weren't redesigned to take the new, higher weapon costs into account. And of course, starships from other published sources don't match the new costs either.
I'm tempted to wander through and check the adjusted BP costs for these ships now.
Over in Starfinder Society, the guild rules use two types of ships for PCs to use: the science-focused Pegasus and the combat-focused Drake. At least at low tiers, the Pegasus ships (which are lightly armed) still fit the budget. But the low-tier Drakes, with their coilgun and high explosive missile launcher, blow the budget.
Hmm worrying, especially if defences aren't also increased it may be impossible to actually damage an opposing ship. Thanks for the reply.
While not required the starship manual has an optional build budget that if I ever gm I am going to use. It sets limits of the total % of the ship budget that can be spent on shields/weapons/armor and other stuff so that you have a more realistic ship and not a flying death ball of turret mounted coil guns with insane amounts of shields and almost nothing else.
Yes, the build budget rule should honestly probably be a core assumption. That being said, you have to apply a little leeway to it for extremely low tier ships (like the fractional tiers), because of the expense of essential systems like power cores.
Yes its a rule of thumb and at low end some make the ship go comps may be a bit higher than listed but overall its way saner than slam all your BP into shields life support a gun and a turret.

I'm going through a bunch of published ships to check their BP budgets (including design budget) and will post when I'm done.

Does the design budget take into account new weapon prices or is it made with old ones in mind?

No, neither. It's a budget like "X percent max on weapons, of that only Y percent can go in turrets, Z percent max on shields" and the like. The changes to the cost of some specific weapons have nothing to do with it.

Yes but lets say we have a ship that can have X% on weapons which works out to 20 points. Then we have a weapon that originally cost 8 points meaning you could equip 2 of them and link them for a single shot doing 30 points of damage on average. Now with the new costs the weapon costs 11 meaning you can only equip one without going over budget doing 15 points of damage on average. However the shield points haven't increased and they are under budget so your doing half the damage vs shields that are just as powerful as before.
Hypothetical example but since we already know some pre-existing ships have gone over budget (not budget rules but default build points budget) my concern is that if the new budget rules are based off the old weapon costs they're going to be off for the new ones. Resulting in an undergunned ship because you can't equip it as the budget rules intend using the budget rules because they're calculated based on old weapon values.

Wouldn't a GM have to rebuild NPC ships to follow the optional budget rule anyway, regardless of the cost of various ship ingredients?
I mean, I presume nothing in the books have been using this optional rule, so if a GM is forcing players to use it, I'd think the GM would also have to use it.
They would but my point is that if the optional rule was made and balanced with original prices in mind it may not work at all rebuilding or no with the new weapon prices. That is original prices is X to Y power level depending on build, price rebalance already drops them to X. Now you impliment the budget build if you apply it to the original prices you get the same result of limiting power levels to X. HOWEVER if you apply it to the no rules you actually elminate X as well meaning it is impossible to build a workable ship if you combine the budget rules AND the errata to weapon prices. This is for both NPC and PC the new errata'd weapon prices have already broken the budget for building ships on a number of pre-built models they simply don't work now. Applying the budget limiting the amount of points may move it from rebuild to can't use.

That's my concern raising the weapon prices changes the ship build options, introducing BP limits changes the ship build options, introducing ship build limits based on pre weapon price increase may make it useless as the ships can no longer do enough damage to overcome shields.
Weapon cost pre-errata

You can't even put one of the weapons you used on the ship and have to look for another weaker option.

The issue is the ships are being rebuilt due to errata'd weapon prices not the budget rules. Existing Paizo built ships now can't be used/created because they break the ship budget with the new weapon cost increases. The budget limits how much you can spend on the various components.

Its like making a weekly budget where you can spend $20 on frut, $30 on other foods and $12 on toiletries only to find when you get to the store that to get the fruit you want instead of spending $14 it'll cost $24 because the prices increased without your realizing it when you made the budget rules on what you can spend.

A second engineer can't also be using a Divert action, even if there is one.
What page is the optional budget rule on? I can't seem to find it in my starship manual.
Page 79. It's in a weird place.

It seems like you're really spinning off into generalities that don't really apply in the way that you're presenting them.
Here is the rule: https://aonsrd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=596
You can build workable ships with it. It is true that at the very lowest tiers, you'll need to loosen the budget's a little, as I said earlier.
Some of the weapons you may have wanted to use before have had their price changed because they were out of line with other weapons. That does not translate into being unable to arm a ship. The amount of shields applied on a ship are also constrained.

My initial post about the GM rebuilding ships was to make sure I understood the dynamic we were talking about. That being, if every ship has to use the same build rules and the same build prices, then nothing has changed. The playing field is still level, everyone has the same options relative to their opponents. Maybe you’re doing a total of 10d4 damage instead of 15d6, but so are they, and each ship’s defensive arrangements are likely in a similar state.
That being said, Senko, I find your post to pretty much be wrong. I believe you're theorycrafting without enough actual play experience to back your points up. I could be wrong, and if I am, I apologize.
However, nobody needs the best twin linked turreted weapon to win a space fight. That it might not be affordable with certain weapons at certain tiers now is immaterial. I've been building and rebuilding the ship for my party through 10 tiers of ship now, I've never twin linked the best gun, and we’ve yet to get into a fight we couldn’t win. (honestly, I find the entire idea of the ball of death super turret ship to be distasteful min-max munchkinery, and if I have the option, I won’t play with those kind of people.)
Additionally, with the highest rated power core, and assuming 1 engineer to divert every turn, a ship is getting 15 shield points back per turn. And that’s with the BEST power core. In all likelihood, it’s a less powerful core, with an associated lower amount of shields per divert action. Granted, there might be a second part-time engineer for emergencies, but that character probably has another job that isn’t getting done now.

Step 1
Ship A has X shields and Y weapons vs Ship B with Y shields and X weapons.
Step 2
I'm theorycrafting because I can't FIND the actual changes to weapon prices hence my questions earlier in this thread and why I said I'm concerned not stating "This is definately going to do X.". I don't know for sure how the new budget rules and errata prices will affect things if applied together. I'm just concerned the budget rules migtht have been made with the old prices in mind as I have had prior experience with games where two seperate people have worked on fixing a perceived weakness with the result the changes unintentially stack for a harsher result than either intended. Either alone would fix the weakness but combined they have unintended consquences making that portion of the game rules unuseable. However since another poster has said the weapon costs have already made a number of official ships no longer work. I feel I'm justified in being concerned the combination of the two might not have been thought through only the impact of either alone. Yes the new rules apply to both shields and weapons but if you want specifics.
1 Persistent Particle Beam (Heavy) does 10d6 damage and costs 32 build points for 40 PCU.
1) Superior shield blocks 150 points per ark of damage to start with and recharges 64 points a minute for 40 build points and 160 PCU.
The very best shield only costs 8 more build points than one weapon. Now yes shields have a higher limit 10% compared to 35% but if weapon prices are already causing problems by themself I'd like to know how the changed prices interact with the optional rule and if it was made with the new or old prices in mind. That is did they balance that 35% with X weapon prices and if so would they have raised it to 40% to allow different options. If you see what I mean?

A lot of weapon prices haven't changed at all. The coilgun, which was exceptionally efficient compared to other weapons around that level, is a bit more expensive. A lot of tracking weapons are significantly more expensive, because they were dirt cheap for the firepower they supplied. Some weapons that were overpriced came down.
It isn't a global shift in weapon prices, just weapon prices changing relative to other weapons. That's why I'm saying "which prices are the budgets based around?" isn't a question that really fits.

Thanks, not sure I agree with raising the prices on tracking weapons yes they are powerful but they take time to reach an enemy, can run out of fuel, can be shot down. Lots of drawbacks already. Especially increasing by that much nuclear missiles are over 3 times more expensive.
They have a lot of drawbacks in theory. Most of them don't end up being that big of a problem in practice. A lot of them were definitely underpriced. I won't commit to saying that I think the new price is perfect on all of them (haven't crunched firepower/bp on all of them yet), but raising them, in general, was a pretty solid call.

Inside the range of their speed though, they are very very high damage weapons with minor drawbacks. I'm definitely okay with nukes being more expensive.

Still it is an example of why I'm concerned a tier 1 ship used to be able to have a missile and beam weapon now with the optional rule and the increase in nuclear missile prices you can only mount that missile.
Not saying that's necessarily a bad thing but it is an area of concern for me that the person who increased the prices and the person who made the opotional build limits didn't talk to each other and the combination of the two might make certain ships simply not viable.

OK, here's my "audit" of a wide collection of published starships so far. I'll organize them by source, but I'm not including any potentially "spoilery" ships in here. (No Azlanti Star Empire, no grays, no outsiders, no species intended to be discovered during an AP, etc.)
A couple of notes:
1. The Core Rulebook ships were not redesigned in the reprint and thus a good rule of thumb is that most higher-tier ships are substantially over-budgeted. I'm keeping in mind that most of these ships were correct at the time of publication, so the question is just what to do about them now.
2. I'm including design budgets, with a mind that they're just recommendations, not hard rules. Since we're often dealing in fractions here, if a ship is "over-budget" by 1 point in a given category, that's just the margin of error. And if it's up by a few points in a category, that's fine too, so long as it matches the theme of the ship.
3. The costs given here include any discounts from SOM's manufacturer's perks (but they don't come into play often).
4. I really did try to double-check my math but I cannot guarantee that I haven't overlooked errors here and there.

I'm fairly certain that the Banshee's stats were designed without taking into account that its turret weapon requires adding a weapon mount and then upgrading both weapon mounts. Remove the linked heavy laser cannon and all of its associated costs (leaving the turret with a single heavy laser cannon) and you wind up with a total BP cost that's legal and much closer to the target.

I'm kinda confused about that if they didn't update the old npc ship statblocks whether future starship statblocks will use the new rules or not?
I don't think that list is with the optional ship budget those are ships that have been made invalid with the new weapon prices which is a permanent errata from what I understand.

Umm. I'm now confused because I was talking about the new prices for starship stuff. What are you talking about? I wasn't talking about optional budget rule at least...

More recently published starships tend to have fewer budget-busters, so I'm sure ships will be designed with the revised BP costs going forward.

Why not just. . . *not* take the most powerful available category of missile, and instead take one of the weaker types of missiles instead? Your choices are not limited to "nukes or nothing".A lot of weapon prices haven't changed at all. The coilgun, which was exceptionally efficient compared to other weapons around that level, is a bit more expensive. A lot of tracking weapons are significantly more expensive, because they were dirt cheap for the firepower they supplied. Some weapons that were overpriced came down.
It isn't a global shift in weapon prices, just weapon prices changing relative to other weapons. That's why I'm saying "which prices are the budgets based around?" isn't a question that really fits.
Here's a bunch of them on a quick scan
Weapon - old cost- new cost
chain cannon - 15 - 10
coilgun - 6 - 10
flak thrower - 5 - 5
gyrolaser - 3 - 3
laser net - 9 - 9
light EMP cannon - 8 - 8
light laser cannon - 2 - 2
light particle beam - 10 - 10
light plasma cannon - 12 - 12
high explosive missle - 4 - 14
light plasma torpedo - 5 - 11
light torpedo launcher - 4 - 7
micromissle battery - 3 - 5
tactical nuclear missle - 5 - 18
graser - 35 - 35
gravity gun - 30 - 30
heavy emp cannon - 24 - 12
heavy laser array - 10 - 10
heavy laser cannon - 8 - 15
maser - 22 - 22
particle beam - 15 - 20
persistent particle beam - 25 - 25
plasma cannon - 20 - 20
railgun - 15 - 15
twin laser - 12 - 18
x-laser cannon - 35 - 35Thanks, not sure I agree with raising the prices on tracking weapons yes they are powerful but they take time to reach an enemy, can run out of fuel, can be shot down. Lots of drawbacks already. Especially increasing by that much nuclear missiles are over 3 times more expensive.
Actually I just used nukes as an example they aren't the most powerful. I could have used any of the other tracking weapons that have also increased in price.

Ah miscommunication never mind then.

I am not a fan in general of the weapon BP cost redo. I do think coilguns were too cheap but I think the tracking weapons price increase to the levels they went up has basically cost themselves out of the game.
I am running my 7th AP and so far my players Don’t want tracking weapons. There is to many drawbacks as is and they slow down game play if they don’t hit in the first round. I have seen the players just straight up out run tracking weapons or make sure they have to lock back on.
This revamp was extreme in my opinion and I will now just house rule the changes to something else.

My players on the other hand, are never outside their tracking weapon's speed, and therefore only need one attack roll. For my table, the price increase at least made them look at other options.

OK, here's my "audit" of a wide collection of published starships so far. I'll organize them by source, but I'm not including any potentially "spoilery" ships in here. (No Azlanti Star Empire, no grays, no outsiders, no species intended to be discovered during an AP, etc.)
This post looks useful enough that if I were you I would seriously consider posting it in its own thread rather than have it buried in this one.
The pocket version will have the updates guaranteed. Others, not so much.
The revised edition is the third printing. Check the Table of Contents, blue column to the left, very bottom in fine print.
So if I order a print copy of the CRB, is it the new version now? What if I get it on Amazon.uk? How do I know if I’m buying the newest version or not?
(I already own a print copy of the old version and the new pdf , but want the new print copy with the revisions. I live in UK so would rather not pay shipping from US via the Paizo site if possible)
As a general rule, the only way to guarantee the latest printing of a paizo book is to order from them direct.
paizo dont have insight into other distribution channels - the distributor your retail outlet buys from may accept returns years down the track (or may suddenly uncover previously purchased, original printing stock).
The exception is non-mint copies bought from paizo. They are not guaranteed to be latest printing.

There are flak weapons, limited fire and players can run away and force rerolls as desired. DO you think it justifies the amount the cost went up?

I find point weapons to be less than worthwhile, limited fire to never run out in a fight, and enemies to be hit the same round a tracking weapon is fired, so...

You and I have very different experiences. I have seen limited fire run out shots nearly every fight.
I've definitely seen ammo run out sometimes. Not every fight.
Also had some engagements that took place, at least in part, at very long range and gave a noticeable disadvantage to tracking weapons. That doesn't happen every time, either.
I've also had decent return on investment from Point weapons, even before it was possible for Horacalcum Defensive Countermeasures to make Point Defense more accurate.
With those things in mind, I don't see any case to be made that the old costs of tracking weapons were where they should be, though I think some may have been overcorrected slightly (not so drastically as some people seem to think).
