Probably has it coded to add an "s" for plural meaning; here is something I just googled for making plurals:

You already know how to make most nouns into plurals just by adding an -s at the end of the word. There are plenty of words that do not follow the rule, however.
Here is an easy case to remember: If a word ended in -s, -z, -x, -sh, or -ch, add -es to the end.

Examples: dress - dresses; fizz - fizzes; fox - foxes; wish - wishes; watch - watches.
When a noun ends in -o, you also have to add -es.
Examples: hero - heroes; tomato - tomatoes
Exceptions to the rule: studio, piano, kangaroo, zoo, buffalo, cargo, motto, . Just add -s to these words.

If a noun ends in a consonant plus the letter "y", change the "y" to "i" and add -es.
Examples: city - cities; country - countries
When a noun ends in -f or -fe, you change the "f" to "v" and add -es.
Examples: knife - knives; half - halves; scarf - scarves
Here is one that always gave me trouble. I hope this makes it easier for you!
Sometimes a singular noun ends in -um or -on. To make it a plural, change the -um to an -a.
Examples: curriculum - curricula; phenomenon - phenomena


How about nouns that end in -ex or -ix? To make them plural, change that ending to -ices.
Examples: vertex - vertices; index - indices
Nouns that end in -us become plurals by changing the ending to -i.
Example: stimulus - stimuli
Some nouns are always plural, but do not end in "s".
Examples: cattle, police, people.

Not everything ending in -us pluralises to -i or even-ii, it depends on the Latin declension of the noun in question. Also, fish does not take -es (unless you believe in Jeremiah the Bullfrog). Cash is another one, although that's not capable of being singular (unless you're talking about Johnny). ;)

Trinity drive is displaying as Defense_adaptation +8%, should be Defense Adaptation +8%

Also, should all the silver module effects be one word?

I don't think that's a typo necessarily, in that I'm fairly certain Dan knows it appears that way, it just does so for some design reason.

Ah. I was wondering. I was kinda sure because it's been that way since they came out, but I wasn't quite sure.

Yeah, all those types of bonuses are presented as single-word bonuses, even if they really should have spaces. There must be a design reason why spaces aren't used, so I think Dan is experimenting with underscores to make it more readable at the very least.

Also, "A omicron injector has been installed on your ship."

Should be "An". Just a little grammar mix-up.

Arn't all those other bonuses permanent(as in always active unless module removed?) compared to the conditional bonus of 8% defence if target of attack

And Xecti wouldn't show up the same way because it's a race bonus rather than module(atleast it shoudn't show up in the same window)

Being a programmer sucks when it comes to typos. Especially in C++. "WHERE IS THAT DAFT MISSING SEMI-COLON!!!" Has been heard by residents of my house many times, with the addition of a few "other" words. I'll be on typo patrol now... :D

Found another one on Drannik Ballistae and Ion Pulse Ballistae - the singular of all of these should be Ballista. I know it's probably impossible to code for irregular plurals like this, just thought I'd point it out.

I was also going to mention "Protean Armorys" (-ies) but that's already been brought up (though not fixed yet).

Got one (at long last)
When highlighting the base production bonus info for the loyalty bonus, this shows up.
Loyalty Bonus Info wrote:
40% Production Bonus for each active Legion Member
That has been in the legion continuously for a week or longer.

'That' shouldn't be capitalized as it is not the start of a new sentence nor is it a proper noun.

On daily mission it says

This mission can be repeated at any time.

This mission can only be completed once per day.

Not really a typo and not really important, but u can see how it's... uncomforable
fix if possible, doesn't matter much if not~

Another non-standard plural:

Ancient Crystal Foci - the singular of Foci is Focus.

When you place a Mylari Strip-Core Mine, and try to place another, it says "planet already has maximum number of 'mylari' structures. Mylari should have a capital letter, I think.

Replying to the Stelar and Stalar post.
I found that when you have put Stelar it should have two L's so it should be Stellar
it may just be a mis-type but i thought it may help.

No it shouldn't. It's a modifier of your name, not a stand alone title.

The Doctor
The President
The Crusher

Ivan the Terrible
Catherine the Great
William the Conqueror
