Tattooed Roughs bar encounter; if you accept, it mentions "mildly radioactive sicilate gravel" - I think that should be "silicate"?

The Mudskipper's description:

"The HGA-220 was first produced as the 'Pegasus'-class but it has since been annointed it with the altogether more humble name 'Mudskipper'." Extra word.

Also this is one of the descriptions that begin with lore rather than a concise paragraph for tooltips.

Technically not a typo, but rather a misleading logic hole in hyperspace storm's description:

"In addition, storm strikes toss the fleet's drive bubble about with great violence, often causing a loss of control. Some commanders are known to use these to gain additional speed, and to save fuel"

This is untrue - hyperspace storms do not let you save fuel, as the amount of fuel depends on the distance traveled. You just travel faster. The fuel usage will dramatically spike when you speed up with the storm, so you burn the same amount as if you flew the same distance slower.

@Wapno fuel use is capped at burn 20, so if you use a storm to go faster than that, you're saving fuel.



The description of the event "Luddic Path Cells - Dissolved" is the same as for "Luddic Path Cells - Sleeper" and makes no sense in context (talks about the cell being established and that there is no impact on operations "yet")

When visiting Beholder Station:

"Storm systems the size of a standard terrestrial worlds..." should be 'world'.

.....

Lacicaille Habitat:

"Laicaille habitat was see, was conquered, and then..." should be 'seen'.


.....

Madeira's planetary landing description is odd. It says it has a small population but it's only smaller than Kazeron and Zagan. Relatively speaking it's at worst a medium-sized polity. The part about the Domain counting on its loyalty doesn't flow well either, in particular why does the Domain care? It's not a very special planet.

.....

Cibola's planetary landing description:

"... leaving it colder and wetter than its equillibrium state..." should be 'equilibrium'.

.....

Ailmar's description:

"... and even forests of larch6..." ??? I have no idea what this is meant to be.

.....

Suddene's planetary landing description:

"... begrudgingly subservient to Fikenhild in economical political matters." should be "economical and political'?

Also,

"Reforms by one recent the King of Westernesse..." extra 'the'.

.....

Horn's description:

"Not that they would be much desirable anyway on this world..." should be 'there".

.....

Fikenhild's planetary landing description:

"Most potential excesses of the system are contrained by a culture of alternately racous and sentimental audience participation segments... " first one should be 'contained' or 'constrained', second should be 'raucous'.

Also I'm not entirely sure what this sentence is trying to say: I get that the king rules at the whims of the people but what are these "culture of audience participation segments" and what's their relevance?

.....

When Luddic Path demands a tithe from you:

"Sevant of Moloch blah blah blah... Forswear this pennance and be met with annihilation..." should be 'penance'.

This is so small i thought i'd put it in typos instead of its own bug report, but the name of a player-built station doesn't update if you rename the colony, and i can't see any way to individually edit it.

Shipping Disruption condition for colonies, last sentence: "commodity availability should return to normal leves in approximately three months."  "Levels" is misspelled.

"A concerned-looking [PERSON] in a [FACTION] uniform  is sitting at a corner table..." I think there's an extra space between 'uniform' and 'is'.

Unsure if this one is a typo or not but Jangala's description mentions "cyclones of megastorms", is it meant to be "cyclones and megastorms"? Or maybe 'cyclonic megastorms'?

Hanan Pacha's planetary landing description calls it "Hana Pacha".

When handing in AI Cores to Tri-Tachyon officials, they call themselves "TriTachyon" without the hyphen.

Perdition Bomber is tagged as High Tech rather than Low Tech.

I'm guessing as a Jury Rigged Luddic Path bomber made from converted civilian craft it should not count as "high tech"?

When going into a non-free port with your transponder off:

"Your fleet goes into orbit around [PLANET], ignoring requests from the [FACTION] port authority to idenfity yourself." Should be 'identify'.

.....

After offering to buy a drink for the veteran Spacer:

"It all began when [THEY] were a hired on to a salvage fleet..." extra 'a'.

"... as the fleet suddenly left a rich asteroid belt for the outter system jump point." Should be 'outer'.

I think the last sentence of the salvage rig description doesn't apply any longer.
