I hope this doesn't open a can of worms, but going over some cards I noticed on Things Past and Chain of Command personnel cards some bold words (2E Keywords) in their lore.
Solbor : Prylar
Rusot (Things Past) : Dissident Gul
Founder Architect (Things Past) : Founder Shape-Shifter
Data (Things Past) : Dissident
The Viceroy : General
K'mpec (Chain of Command) : General Klingon High Council
Shinzon (Chain of Command) : General Praetor
For now only Founder exists as 1E card but not listed as Persona Version.

Forced-Labor Camp
glossary entry has typo in name.

Frank Hollander –
This personnel is “any Data”, but is not a version of the Data persona.

Yeah, this is A Thing that CoC and Things Past did. It was a mistake, in retrospect, because bold words in lore already mean something, and it's been politely but firmly ignored ever since. (Italics in lore would have been better.)

Well, except that it's a lot harder to notice italics than it is to notice bold, and bold italics also already means something (two things, actually).

Meanwhile:

"Crimson Forcefield" is missing the quotes in its title in the database text.

I noticed some cards with several versions (alternate prints) seem to have different game text. Most times it doesn't seem to matter. But which should be the one to use?

Captain's Log SHIELDS and WEAPONS - WEAPON and SHIELDS
Wormhole stopped - "stopped"
Malfunctioning Door Android - android - shortened text.
Theta-Radiation Poisoning Play - Place
Space-Time Portal Seed - Seeds
Deep Space Nine Seed - Seeds


Cloaked Mission

Also, italics is already used for ship names. And I wouldn't want to be the guy to have to errata the pile of cards to add italics everytime a new trait gets referenced...

I suppose I should clarify: italics would have been better, because it wouldn't cause an immediate rules conflict the way bold did. But it was still a bad idea that I think only makes sense in the context of "it's 2009 and we still don't know that 1E is going into production again therefore aren't too fussed about future-proofing" thinking.

In general, I think the more recent wording should be viewed as errata and controls. (Since this is how it worked in the Decipher era and nobody's suggested otherwise.)

If it makes no gameplay difference, though, I wouldn't be too fussed about it. A number of those are AP differences are undoubtedly just typos, and I don't think we need to roust the Errata and Art teams from their beds to fix a "seed/seeds" discrepancy.

I could be wrong, though. Often am.
