As one may have already read on this forum, there has been some errors in the Rise of the Ancients print.
First of all, our apologies for this.
Now, the problems appear to be following:
3 rare tech tiles:
Wrong costs:
Sentient Hull: 5/5, instead of 7/6
Distortion Shield: 7/6, instead of 5/5
Point Defense: 11/8, instead of 9/7
Colony Ship tiles:
The symbols are missing from the front side.
Ship parts:
There are 2 Interceptor Bay tiles that have either Zero-Point Source or Fluxx Missile on the other side.
While all these errors are very unfortunate, and we will not put out any copies without a fix, the small upside is that none of these make the expansion completely unusable. Untill we can fix the problems, customers who picked up a copy at Essen can still use the expansion. Main usability issue are the rare techs, which need extra attention in making sure they have the right cost visible. The shipparts can be used as they're needed, and every Eclipse player knows how the colony ships work, even if they don't have the icon.
We're in a process of finding a quick solution for these problems. We will inform about it on this thread once we know how we'll proceed.
Most likely a small punch sheet of corrected tiles will be added to the copies before they ship out to the stores. For the customers already owning a copy, we will find another way to deliver the corrected materials.

Stuff like this is why board gaming is the best hobby ever. Lautapelit has once again proven they are a class act.
