Errors

I don't recall any missing parts. There were no errors in the building
instructions, but in some steps the quantity of certain heavily-used small
parts was not stated. As it is easy to visually overlook a small part being
added to a sub-assembly that already has hundreds of parts, knowing how many
should have been used in total in each step is a useful cross-check.

I'm not sure if it was only me, but I noticed some discrepancies with the
deflector shield domes ("golf balls").  Most steps show one dome flush
against the edge of the plate it sits on, and the other dome 1 stud away
from the edge.  Can someone else verify this?

At the end I found myself short 1 2x8 lt grey plate.  But I probably used
one where I wasn't supposed to...

Ah, yes, now I remember.  The rest of the manual all showed one dome 1 stud
away, but on the pictures both are flush.  I just put mine flush, I think
it's a typo.  I snapped a picture with my camera of it:

Uh? Was it a typo?
I thought i should be like that and built one flush against the edge and the
other 1 stud away. When building I thougth it was a bit strange, but not
everyting on the ship was mirrored from one side to the other...
Have to check the manual again and see if I can see where it SHOULD be :)

Yes, I noticed that error. I had to refer to another picture of the bridge
on the box to see if they were supposed to be flush or 1 stud away, and they
were supposed to be flush.

Probably so. Or at least, I hope so. Otherwise you got stiffed one piece.

The only things on the ship that aren't perfectly mirrored are the detail
10x1 plates around the large trench, and the 10x2 detail plates on the
tower. And those are only assymmetrical because they themselves are mirror
images from the left to right. Eh.
