Might as well get the ball rolling, eh?
Page 15 - "They use as part of the process to wipe the brains of biomorphs when it’s absolutely
essential that the previous ego be fully eradicated."
Should be "They use it"? or "They are used"?
Page 26 - "Given the increase in mind operations and general surface explorations, however, the possibility of disturbing something that has remained so far dormant continues to be a risk."
Should be "increase in mining operation"? Mind operations doesn't really make sense, and the context of the sidebar is about mining.
Page 164 - Might be more of a GM Fiat situation, but shouldn't Suryas have the Large Target (+10 to Hit) disadvantage, much like the Neotenic has the Small Target (-10 to Hit) advantage?
Also, shouldn't Coronal Adaption be an Advantage in the Salamander/Sundiver/Surya? It is after all a Trait, not an implant.

Page 43, very last paragraph. It looks like there was the beginning of a sentance, but it got cut off. Also the formatting is a bit strange.

Synthmorph Activist, p190, seems to have the Advantages of an Octomorph for no particular reason.

Re: EP Sunward Rulebook Errata
Mobile Scientist and Synthmorph Activist have the wrong equipment. They were obviously created on previous pregens and some one forgot to finish them. This is especially obvious on the Activist as I don't recall Cases having ink attacks or beaks.

Page 43, very last paragraph. It looks like there was the beginning of a sentance, but it got cut off. Also the formatting is a bit strange.
The first of the last two sentences begins with the word "These". Since the extra word is "These", my guess is that it was going to be a repeat.
edit: Nope.. I'm wrong.
Whoops. One last CS4 -> CS5 bug that I didn't catch in the franticness yesterday. The last paragraph, fully, is:
Within the past three years, genehackers have produced several more complex life-forms that are similarly adapted for life in the Venusian clouds. Because oxygen levels are still extremely low and are unlikely to rise significantly for several decades, all of these creatures are photosynthetic. The most abundant are jelly-floats, flimsy balloon-like jellyfish creatures that consist of oxygen gas bags up to a meter across, below which hang slender tendrils they use to feed on the larger forms of air plankton. Jelly-floats are just now being seeded within air plankton populations, so it is too early gauge their success. Even larger and more active are the delicate flying octopi, which obtain their lift from gas bags up to 3 meters across and use jets of compressed Venusian air to propel themselves at speeds of up to 20 kph. These creatures are designed to feed on the jelly-floats and, when released, will be the top predators of the Venusian ecosystem. Genehackers have also created other more active creatures, including muscular fliers like the predatory cloud mantas. These active life-forms require an oxygen atmosphere, however, and so can only be found in the terraforming menagerie on Aphrodite Prime.

Page 100 - Second paragraph under Offworld, last sentence:
"They payoff is..." should be "The payoff is..."

Re: EP Sunward Rulebook Errata
Page 163: Steel Morph (Masked Variant)
This morph is missing its Credit Cost line.
As a varient of the Steel Morph, the Masked Varient uses the same Credit Cost as the original.
Which makes sense, the CP-Cost thresholds are something like 10/30/50/70/100 (Not actually those numbers, I dont have the actual ones on me at the moment.)

Re: EP Sunward Rulebook Errata
Makes sense for the rules, I guess, but in my campaigns it'll be a little more expensive than the standard (that 1,000-credit Synthetic Mask isn't free, and this model is less common).

Re: EP Sunward Rulebook Errata
I was messing about with the Layers, and was wondering if it wasnt quite working properly or not. On some pages, when I disable the Text Area checkbox the background images disappear. Specifically this seems to work for the first three or four pages of a chapter. But after that the layer seems to merge the Text Area and the Text Boxes layer.
*edit It seems to be every other page... or something. Its fairly easy to notice if you mess with the layers.

Should be "increase in mining operation"? Mind operations doesn't really make sense, and the context of the sidebar is about mining.
"Mind operations" could referee to remote telepresence & "radiocontrol" explorations /operations methodsrather than Mining. . Laser pointers, lazerscans & radiocommunication might also awake things dormant.
Green lazers & some other lazer pointers are beeing outlawed in many places IRL -due to prankster saboteurs that direct them against vehicles & persons.

Yup, this is goofed, but I didn't think it was vital to fix before releasing -- and I simply didn't have time to debug it properly, as it's not a simple fix. It SHOULD be a simple fix, but it's not. It will get fixed in a future update.

Re: EP Sunward Rulebook Errata
Righto. Not sure if this is only on my end but when I mess about with the layers Adobe Reader 9.3 also has a tendancy to crash. Foxit handles it just fine, and Sumatra doesn't do layers so I cannot test it in that.

Page 146, under the Direct Action entry, first paragraph, second sentence:
"Though Direct Action continues to play a prominent role in military and security matters, the other Council members are careful not to seed the milcorp too much in the way of resources or authority, lest they need worry about a coup."
I believe the author means "cede" here, not "seed."

"Those part of the LLA have autonomy in their local govern-
ment and infrastructure, though in practice there is
little in the way of radical experimentation with social
models, and most tend towards simple representative
democracies, republics, or corporate hierarchies, with
a smattering of technocracies, oligarchies, and auto-
cratic systems."
Page 80, should be "These parts"?

p. 105 has a picture of a police baboon smoking a cigarette. This is awesome. It also needs shades.

That's not a mistake. I try to make sure that both page numbers on a spread aren't covered, but on-page elements are "allowed" to cover page numbers, just like artwork does.

Re: EP Sunward Rulebook Errata
Note the Q-Morph writeup in Sunward (p. 163, left column).
Fluff paragraphs states:
"...and completely unable to function in temperatures below 250 C."
Now, that line implies that the Q-Morph is using the Positive Trait of
"High-Temperature Operation" (p. 165, left column), as only that trait
states that a morph given the advantage starts having issues once exposed
to temps below 250 C.
(It starts losing COO points on a per-minute basis.)
On the other hand, the Q-Morph's sluggish Movement Rate as a Walker (2/4)
implies that "Extreme Heat Shielding" should ALSO be included in the
Enhancements
section for Q-Morphs.
(The Q-Morph is currently the slowest of all Morphs... I think.)
However, the only heat-related item in the stat-block for the Q-Morph,
was the Enhancement of "Extreme Heat Shielding".
In short, the Q-Morph Fluff+Stats seem to imply that BOTH the Positive Trait
"High-Temperature Operation", as well as the Enhancement of "Extreme Heat Shielding"
were added into the final stats of the Q-Morph, due to the fluff-described penalty,
and the stat-blocks' slow Walker Movement Rate.
Why would one build the "Extreme Heat Shielding" enhancement into a Morph,
if the Morph already has the Positive Trait "High-Temperature Operation"?
The only real bonus that I can see, is that it jacks up Durability by 25%.
That IS a pretty big jump for Durability, but jeez, at the cost of HALF one's mobility?
Any thoughts?

Re: EP Sunward Rulebook Errata
Q-Morphs have the Extreme Pressure Adaptation, which also reduces movement in half.

We didn't release an errata file because, well, there were only 4 rules-text-related changes, and I kind of forgot. 
Here it is now: http://eclipsephase.com/downloads/sunward_errata_major_1.1.pdf
And yes, the correct statblocks for the Mobile Scientist and Synthmorph Activisit are in the errata, and I included the full pages for them.

Re: EP Sunward Rulebook Errata
Just so I'm understanding this - this errata document 1.1 is what is already incorporated into the January 2011 'version' of Sunward?
"May 2011" listed right above the general errata note made me think this errata document was in addition to the january update.
Also, minor typo: on Pg. 163, the Sundiver Synthmorph has "LArge" under the Disadvantages category, not "Large Target combat modifier" as in the following Surya Biomorph listing.
Thank you for the updates, in any case.
