Hi, I have one:

Free Trader Adventure card "Bulk Hauling". This card has :passenger :passenger :passenger , but the title and the tags "Freight, Mercantile" make it sound like it ought to be :cargo :cargo :cargo . The Beowulf has a bit of a hard time getting three passengers...

Bulk Hauling is supposed to have :cargo :cargo :cargo , and not :passenger :passenger :passenger. We just posted an update on this and other printing issues on the Kickstarter Campaign.

I would sugest stickers to fix the starter sets already printed as a low cost fix

All the crew cards have the printing error of no border around the skills? Okay, are those borders any more than decorative? (Just got my game today and have yet to tear into it.)

Alas, not decorative.

They make it easier to determine the level of the skill, a circle or a hexagon. Although the shapes are on the cards in black, without the border they are quite difficult to see.

Ahhh, yeah, just popped the shrink on the Beowulf, yeah, tough to discern the two different shapes easily.

Thanks.

I wonder. While it is possible to distinguish hexagons from circles with a fair degree of accuracy with some intense squinting, perhaps with a complete list identifying the hexagon skilled cards, a gold star sticker, or some such, could be affixed to those cards. It's not a brilliant solution, but it could work as an interim fix. Of course a definitive list would be needed...

Heck, even a master list could work, just to clarify which are elite and which are not.
