In the popup for the Surge Plexus on the ship screen, it says "Ship limit: 3 plexuss" I'm guessing it should either be plexuses, or plexus's..

Wiki implies that Plexuses is the proper spelling. I'd like "Plexi" personally.

There are two Ts in mattress. Not sure if you intended just one, or if's it a typo. Maybe yours was so evil it scared the other T away.

according to Dictionary.com....

both "plexuses" and "plexus" are proper plural forms

The lack of a "T" is intentional Captain Crunch. lol

And if you check Namba, the typo is with the fact is says Plexuss. So either there's an extra "s", or there's a missing "e", or there's an apostrophe missing. :P

Hi Dan, sorry if you think i'm being pedantic but I just noticed some typos in the game. When you complete the "Investigate An Anomaly", the game says:

"Your have collected a wealth of data on the anomaly, and return with your findings."

I'm guessing the missing words from the above description are "crew" and "you"

"Your crew have collected a wealth of data on the anomaly, and you return with your findings."

Or alternatively you could change it and say ship or vessel, or even make it specific to the current size of your ship.


OR, the typist accidentally put an "r" bcuz he didn't spell check what he was writing. Instead of adding words to the sentence, just simply take away the first "r" and it will make sense.

"You have collected a wealth of data on the anomaly, and return with your findings."

I know I sometimes add letters or leave out letter too bcuz words are so similar and I don't think about it.

if he uses this one he needs to make sure to remove the comma after anomaly

well, the comma isn't that bad, it's not grammatically incorrect or correct. "and return with your findings." is a dependent clause anyway and can be connected to the main thought with or without a comma.

But I do believe my correction to the sentence was what the original author meant by the statement, even if the comma could be wrong. Most of these corrections have been a missing letter, wrong letter, missing apostrophe or comma anyway, all common grammatical mistakes which is why i don't think more than one missing word is going to occur.

Ship tab: Says "Collossal", should it not be "Colossal"?

It's especially jarring since the planets spell it correctly! "Colossal" and "Mega Colossal."
But the ship sizes are all wrong.

Not exactly a typo but

"conquer it under your control"

Shouldn't that just be "Conquer it" because it would then be under your control anyway

Just change "conquer" to "bring" to fix it.

I used the contact the developer link a week ago to report a typo. I'm not sure my message was seen, but this seems like the perfect place for it!
The pop up window for Protean Armory says "Ship Limit:3 armorys". So, "armories" would be the right spelling.

While you mention it Karzon, the same issue applies to the Aegis Capacitor; it's listed as "aegis batterys". It should be Aegis Batteries or even Aegis Capacitors. It also applies to the XRP Battery Pack/XRP Warp-Charge Pack (xrp batterys).

And some others:
Sha'din Forcevoider: the description is missing the apostrophe. "shadin defenses".
Surge Plexus: the description is missing an apostrophe or an "e". "surge plexuss" should be plexus's or plexuses. (I've mentioned this one before)

Tera-Seek Targeter: the description is missing a hyphen (tetraseeks)

Bio-Signature Scrambler: they don't have a ship limit indicator in the popup.
Genetarr Transmitter - Mark II: they don't have a ship limit indicator in the popup. (Not sure about Mark I's)
Prejor Sensor Beacon: they don't have a ship limit indicator in the popup.
Stryll Confinement Chamber: they don't have a ship limit indicator in the popup.
Stryll Transponder: they don't have a ship limit indicator in the popup.
Zolazin Jammer: they don't have a ship limit indicator in the popup.

Perhaps I should point out that none of the text in the popups is capitalised either. It's a minor issue, but one that annoys me. Probably doesn't affect anyone else though! :D

all of these are only available from missions if i remember, so (excluding glitches) there is no limit needed
so this is an extremely minor omission
