Just a heads up: By a great miracle of the God-Emperor, the errata has been updated.
(Note that the low res version on the support page is still v1.1, even though the link says v1.3. The above link is to the high res v1.3 file.)
Some of the changes/clarifications:
* Rules for photon flash grenades.
* Lots of changes to psychic power rules.
* You may only fire after the Manoeuvre Action in starship combat. (!)
* The Barracks component can generally hold a single infantry regiment.
LMAO Wow….. they still didn't fix the
Auto Temple
in HA (pg 72). It's still way better than a
Temple-Shrine to the God Emperor
in RT book (pg 204), and costs nothing.
P.S. I still love you FFG.

Not necessarily that much better;
Temple-Shrine to the God Emperor: 1 space 1 power 1 sp, +3 morale, +100 ap to creed objectives
Auto Temple: 1 space 1 power 0 sp, +2 morale, +150 ap to creed objectives
So a Temple-Shrine costs 1 sp, gives 1 more morale but only 2/3 of ap (to creed objectives).
The way I see it, Auto Temple is a) subsidized by the ministrorum (specifically the sect supplying the missionaries) and b) the missionaries are not on Rogue Trader's retainer. -> Less sermons of obedience towards the RT, more work towards converting the heathens, at a lower payroll.
Not costing ship points doesn't mean its free either, look at most of RT Corebooks essential components (page 201, table 8-3), almost 30 components, of which only 5 have an assigned SP cost… Bet that "Jovian Pattern Class 4 Drive" or "Strelov 2 Warp Engine" aren't free, despite the 0sp cost.

You forgot one part : you can DROP the Auto-temple on a planet. For +1 SP, it is still a no brainer vs the Temple-Shrine, and a solid alternative at +2 SP, just due how usefull and cool it is !
Landing right before heatesn on a feral world from space in gothic cathedral ? Priceless !
I agree that it
Auto Temple
should be +2 SP (or SP cost of 2). I was just hoping the errata would of reflected this with an official statement from FFG. Accidents happen though. *shrugs* And i just like reading some people statements and going

Armour Plating
The creature is encased in armour plating, increasing its Armour Points by 2 to all locations.
Another thing not in the Errata.
I love you FFG, I really really do. But why do you make it so difficult?
WHY???…… Okay, back to gaming.
Thanks to FFG for this and specifically confirming how the weapon MIU works. Very useful for all the 40k RPGs, not just Rogue Trader.
Got an official answer from FFG. Pretty fast response too, so I thank them for it.
What I sent FFG.
"Rule Question:
Page 72, Hostile Acquisitions, lists the Auto Temple as have an SP cost of -. Compared to the Temple-Shrine to the God Emperor, pg 204 Rogue Trader book (which is SP 1), it's way better. What is the intended SP cost of the Auto Temple?
"
The reply.
"Interesting question. Yes, this disparity is intentional.
As you may notice, the Temple-Shrine increases Morale by 3 points, whereas the Auto Temple only increases it by 2 points. This, and several other factors, such as the modularity of the Auto Temple, make the two sufficiently different to warrant different costs. Each one has advantages over the other.
I hope that this has been helpful! "
So Houserule you may, but it was intentional.
