Not a typo per se but in at least two of the missions, namely "Starbase Royale" dice game mission and "Fugitive Escapee" mission, I've noticed that when you fail, it also says what it would say when you finish the mission like:

"You securely return the prisoner to his cell." for Fugitive Escapee

and

"You win the tournament!" for Starbase Royale

Again, it says these things on failure along with the message associated with failing such as the fugitive dying in an assault or something like that.


... why are you doing pointless missions?

This is not the place for that, but if you must know; because there's no fault in doing all the missions on one's list.

New Terrorcharged Bane Emitter.

The hover over says the following:
Quote:
Installs an Terrorcharged Bane Emitter on your ship.


I think it should be "a Terrorcharged", not "an Terrorcharged".

In VB if you don't late a space between the quation mark and the 1st word the pahse becomes
AAI Supercomputer has been installed on your ship

It could be possible to go through every thing, add a space unless it begains with a voule then just add code to make a n appear after the a but not in the name.

Reading the amount of people complaing about lag I don't think that is going to happen.

when you place a mark of war on a enemy ship it says
" Jrd10 has placed a Mark of war on your ship"

Im pretty shure i can't place a mark of war on my own ship lol

Image




shouldnt it say

"You have placed a Mark of war on (enemy player name)"
or
"you have placed a mark of war on the enemy ship"

When you mouse over the "Upkeep" text in the "Ship" window, it says, "Amount of credits you pay automatically each day to maintain your ship modules. Modules will take damage if there is not enough credits to pay the upkeep"
It should be "Amount of credits you pay automatically each day to maintain your ship modules. Modules will take damage if there are not enough credits to pay the upkeep"
Also, an additional request pertaining to the mouse-over option.... Is there any chance you can fix this to where it always fits on the screen? Mousing over the question mark doesn't work for some of them. Example:

"Is" is just fine in that sentence. You can eliminate the word "credits" (the plural word with which you are justifying "are") without changing the meaning of the sentence. Hence, "Modules will take damage if there IS not enough to pay the upkeep." Enough is referencing the previous sentence. "Modules will take damage if there ARE not enough to pay the upkeep." See?

Oh, and if you drag your pointer from the left for your hover-over, the text box shows normally. It's only when you drag from the right (for left-side tooltips) that it goes off-screen. Vice versa for right-side tooltips. Hope that helps.

Scruuge Calibration Chamber
'If you have hired the 'thraccti' scruuge ally, the chambers cloak bonus is doubled. Limit 1'
I assume it should say: Limit 1 per planet.

"The Wave Ejector beings powering up..."

This message is displayed upon activation of the Uldri Wave Ejector, and it should say "begins".

Perhaps not, if you're ejecting waves of beings... ;)

Have noticed a couple of typos within the newest LM;

Image

It has an one extra 'by' than is needed.

The new Genome Modifier Tubes in my cargo looked like this:

Image

However when installed on a planet I get this:

Image

Pretty sure they are both just easy to fix typos!

Edit: put the image in the correct brackets.

I like that it says Artie +1, Research +1 but installed, gives you Mining +2, Artie +2.

In the comms for A Choice of Sides, one of the lines from the player's government reads:

"I don't like the idea as much as you"

This can easily be read as "I don't like the idea as much as you [like the idea]" rather than "I don't like the idea as much as you [don't like the idea]"

If "don't like" were changed to "dislike" it would be more clear; it is one word, so it can't be separated the way "don't like" can.

During the comm sequence in the new LM, The Ardyne Sabotage, one line says

Quote:
Hmm... Are there any charge fragments that remained in-tact?


The word "intact" doesn't overlap any lines, so doesn't need the hyphen.

Also, not a typo as such, but I do like the fact that there's an optional line where you talk to Trovar Zane if you have him (the full conversation is listed on the Wiki, but I didn't get the bit addressed at Trovar, as I don't have him).
