Drover's first paragraph is overly long and if you move mouse over "?" button in fleet screen, it covers almost half the screen... Well, it's VERY big for sure! Kite's first paragraph is also long. Likewise Legion's, Monitor's, Mudskipper's, Shepherd's first paragraphs are, but aren't as jarring as in Drover and Kite case.

The Colossus also seems like its first and second paragraphs should switch places. For weapons and ships the first paragraph is meant to be an overview for the tooltip, but that seems to be steadily less adhered to for new ships and weapons.

Well the Ion Pulser used to use the Ion Cannon's description with an extra sentence before it, which didn't make sense given it doesn't do negligible damage (though it feels that way: needs a buff I think). Also its juicy development history is instead described in the Ion Beam's description, which is weird.



Other typos found while reading the Codex...



Light dual autocannon: "Autoloader and a liquid cooling systems are identical..." should be either "a liquid cooling system" or "liquid cooling systems".


Light needler: "Fires bursts of small flechettes at a high rare of fire." Should be "rate". Also "... train their Needlers on enemy fighter wings and long-range missiles threats." Feels like it should be "missile threats", but not sure.


Sabot SRM (single, rack and pod): "... and thus the sabot is deals more manageable damage..." extra "is".


Railgun: I've reported "autocanon", but there's actually another typo on re-reading. "A miniturized version of the Gauss Cannon..." should be "miniaturized".


Squall MLRS: "... opening up an opportunity for high-damage anti-armour projectiles..." should be "armor". Or should it? ;)


Plasma cannon: "... is not breached by matter/energy delivering least 9kN..." should probably be "at least".



... Also there's too many cases of inconsistent capitalisation, hyphenation and acronym use, so I won't report them any more for the sake of my sanity. :-X

Phew, fixed up everything noted above. And edited down/shuffled some of the lengthier descriptions. Thanks for the attention to detail here, it's amazing!

Diktat commanders sometimes have a "hostile" comm message where the NPC is referred to solely by rank rather than name or rank+name, which leads to the pictured sillyness.
(line 145, greetingDiktatHostileStronger).

greetingTTNeutral (line 140): "On behalf of the Tri-Tachyon corporation it is my pleasure to inform you that your $shipOrFleet has been scanned and its tactical capabilities. Please maintain your distance and have a nice day."
And its tactical capabilities what?

The ship was scanned and its tactical capabilities. "your $shipOrFleet's cargo bays and tactical capabilites have been scanned" sounds better, if that's what the point. Ship scan and ship's tactical capabilities are redundant since ship already has its tactical capabilities.

In "The Wolf Pack" all the player ships have the ISS prefix, except the flagship Deimos.

Not sure if this is a typo or code mistake, but the Makeshift Shield Generator lists 'Reduces top speed by null'.

You're using SS+, which is no longer supported.

Two skin-related issues:

Brawler (TT) still has identical flux stats to regular Brawler despite the description speaking of "high-spec flux conduit upgrades performed".
(Given that its weapon mount config is a large, almost-straight downgrade and Plasma Jets probably isn't sufficiently better than Damper Field to make up for it, it could stand to have a built-in flux hullmod.)

Pirate Buffalo has (D) in its name and says "poorly maintained" in its description despite actually having no (D)efect hullmods.

It does now!

Still doesn't, actually  :-X

Missed typos in the latest build:



Spark-class interceptor: "... the chassis instead cradles a miniturized..." should be "miniaturized".


Warthog-class assault fighter: "Boasting superb armor with firewpower..." should be "firepower".


Pirate variant Afflictor and Shade-class frigates: "... much of the TriTachyon phase fleet was irreperably..." should be "irreparably", also "Tri-Tachyon" maybe.


Wayfarer-class combat freighter: "... the Wayfarer does not cut close the ruthless economy that would suite it for bulk trade..." should be "suit".


Valkyrie-class troop transport: "The Valkyrie-class ship a standard destroyer-sized troop transport..." should be "ship is a".


Aurora-class cruiser: "The shields are backed up by hyper-advanced flux dissipation system..." should either be "by a hyper-advanced" or "systems". "Most blueprints required to manufacture an Aurora-class ships..." should either be "an Aurora-class ship or "Aurora-class ships".


Gryphon-class missile cruiser: "... allowing for mid-battle replensihment of missile stocks." Should be "replenishment".


D-class hull descriptions: "Ships that would be decomissioned in quieter times..." should be "decommissioned". Didn't know about this one until it popped up as a spelling error when looking through the Mora (below). The more you know.


Cerberus-class combat freighter: "... filled with both danger and opportunities; The abilities of the Cerberus..." not a typo, but semicolon followed by a capitalised word.


Mora-class carrier: "... the Mora was nontheless decomissioned en masse as doctrine shifted to favour heavier guns..." should be "nonetheless" and "decommissioned".
