Not technically a typo (or lore error), but I think the Ion Beam tooltip is too bloated. The first paragraph (what the tooltip shows) should only contain the gameplay description, with the lore stuff going into the subsequent paragraphs that appear in the codex.

Thank you for pointing that out - yeah, good call, fixed. (Or, rather, added an opening paragraph with gameplay things.)

Thanks - came up in the release thread (I think?), now fixed :)

That's actually intentional.

The description for the Quantum Disruptor says "Exploits weakly acausal princpiples..." should be "principles".

None of the pirate skin prefix descriptions end with a full stop. Also they're all labelled as "D" which is fine except the Pirate Buffalo isn't actually defective in any way.

Sabot SRM (Single) and Sabot SRM Pod: "relfexes" should be "reflexes" in the first paragraph. The Pod also has a line at the end saying it's a missile rack.

Reaper-class Torpedo: "devasting" should be "devastating".

Railgun: "miniturized" should be "miniaturized".


EDIT:

For all Sabot weapons, the last paragraph says "sabot is deals"... should be "sabot deals".


EDIT2:

For the Monitor, in the second paragraph "Ko Combine maintains  that..." there is an extra space between "maintains" and "that".

Yes, I realise I'm being extremely pedantic... making my own personal mod and fixing typos on the way, figured I may as well report them too.

Cethlenn: "methane glaciars" should probably be "glaciers".

"Toxic_Cold" planets: "cryovolcanos" should be "cryovolcanoes".

"Hyperspace_Normal": "instellar" should be "interstellar".

"Hyperspace_Storm": "flucuating" should be "fluctuating".


EDIT:

Heavy Mauler: in the third paragraph, "each shell ogive is..." apparently ogive means a pointed arch, don't think it's meant to be there though.


EDIT2:

For the Monitor again, last sentence of paragraph one... "ordinance" should be "ordnance".


EDIT3:

Not a typo but the Luddic Path Hound's prefix description says "strips out all unnecessary trimmings..." while every other Luddic Path ship says "... unnecessary furnishing".

When you try to dock while a patrol that suspects you of smuggling pursues you, but your transponder is (and was the whole time) on, you still get a text that you're "ignoring requests to identify yourself". Got a save state where it happens if it's nor reproducible.

This is a nitpick, but according to "proper" English grammar, in Sindari Diktat's faction description "Considered......to be a military dictorship" should be "Considered ...... a military dictorship"

No, "to be" is right.

No, there is no "to be" after "Considered" in proper English grammar.
