Upgrades list still includes swordfish.

Expendable rule (thanks, Hena)
Expendable units do not generate Blast markers when they are
removed as casualties. This includes special effects which create
Blast Markers when the unit is targeted. However expendable
units DO count as casualties for the purposes of assault
resolution (EA1.12.7). If formation consists only of Expendable
units then they generate Blast markers normally.

Tigersharks should cost 275 for a pair (not 175)

Or is that 350? Are AX-1-0s supposed to cost more than the Rail Cannon variant?

The datafax for Orbital Bombardments is chewed.  Combining multiple units into one datafax is a mistake and contrary to everything else in Epic.  One unit, one datafax.  In addition, it mentions Tracer Missiles but doesn't explain what to do with them, how they work, if they can hit multiple targets, etc.  Keep in mind the tracers were previously organized into salvos so that you couldn't lay down EIGHT BMs on the first volley from a spaceship.  That concept was never written down in any design notes and as such the purpose was lost.  Now the problem rears itself again.

It's a dog-eat-dog world, and I've got my Milkbone underwear on.

Also, is the Planetfall wording in the notes section supposed to be there?

Yes, AX10s (the version with the railcannons) are supposed to cost more than the basic Tigershark. AX10s are a lot more effective at killing War engines than their ion-cannon armed cousins. (And more to the point, you really don't want 3 units of them on the battlefield in a tourney setting, so they have to cost more than 333 points per formation)

=====
Honda, the Manta's planetfall note still says you do NOT need to have an additional spacecraft.

v5
Planetfall - Note that the Manta is a space capable craft and therefore does not require space assets to planetfall.  Normal planetfall rules apply, including the designation of the planetfall turn and plotting a drop zone, placing the Manta as the space craft.  On arrival, the Manta descends to ground level and conducts a normal activation.

The Crisis weapon stats list "Twin-linked Plasma Blasters" and then "Plasma Rifles and Fusion Blasters". There has to be a mistake. Should the first one be "Twin-linked Plasma Rifles" and the second one "Twin-linked Fusion Blasters"?

The Gun Drones have a speed of 25 cm... is this a typo? Shouldn't it be 20 cm like the other Tau Jet Pack units?

sorry for the late catch:

Twin-linked missile pods are all messed up.

The problem is that we've screwed up the range and to-hit #s on the Missile pods since roughly v3 (when I started contributing to the list).  One missile pod (in 40k) has the same number of shots and strength as an autocannon, but only 36" range.  36" range in 40k = 30cm in E:A.  A single autocannon has AP5+/AT6+ stats in E:A, and a Twin-linked autocannon then has AP4+/AT5+.  Ergo, a twin-linked Missile Pod should have the following statline:  30cm AP4+/AT5+ (which is CORRECTLY given on the Tigershark, but wrong on the Crisis suits, Scorpionfish, Orca and Manta).
