Introduction Date[edit]
I noticed that the date here (2761) differs from what the MUL says (2320) by about 400 years. The ref for this article's year is in TRO 3057, which I don't have. According to the MUL, there is no "Planetlifer" unit in that book, but there is in TRO 3039 (hence the above link). Can someone help solve this? -BobTheZombie (talk) 18:16, 18 January 2014 (PST)
- You are wrong, in TRO:3057p.156 is the Planetlifter introduction date 2761, but i think it is wrong, in TRO:3039 i cant found a intro date, in this case we use the MUL as correct date, hope this helps.--Doneve (talk) 18:26, 18 January 2014 (PST)
- Okay, that's what I thinking; thanks for helping, sir! -BobTheZombie (talk) 18:38, 18 January 2014 (PST)
- I'll just note here that the MUL now lists 2598 as the unit's introduction date. Tosta Dojen (talk) 10:17, 29 October 2020 (EDT)
- Maybe worth noting it in the article that there are conflicting intro dates in various sources. I do agree that the MUL entry should be seen as the authoritative version. Frabby (talk) 04:24, 30 October 2020 (EDT) Addendum: Checking TRO3057 (and TRO3057r), I can't find any mention of the Planetlifter. P. 156 as quoted by Doneve discusses the Cameron battlecruiser. The year 2761 isn't mentioned either. No luck in TROs 3055 or 3050 either.
- I pulled out my copy of TRO:3057 and found the Planetlifter on page 196, with an introduction date of 2761. Tosta Dojen (talk) 15:42, 30 October 2020 (EDT)

Variant Issues[edit]
I found significant confusion with the XTRO:Corps and TRO:Prototypes variants with regards to the MUL, as neither listings on the MUL correctly match the variant names with stats. There are three different names given in the two books (Tactical Support Aircraft, Support Aircraft, and Support) but only two MUL entries and one published record sheet. The MUL entries are problematic. I posted in "Ask the Writers" to start, and will update once errata is verified. I will see if they can address the introduction date issue once this is cleared up.--Cache (talk) 17:55, 30 April 2021 (EDT)
