I'm not seeing the problem on page 13. The red baseline is hard to see and is mostly occluded, but the blue baseline is just in front of the airship. The baseline does appear wrong on pg 18. I suspect the baseline used to be closer to the alliance station and it was revised to be right at the front of the airship, and not everything was updated properly. I think the field tour video depicts what the game will be, and the errors in the field drawings and some manual pictures will be corrected.
