No sure if its a typo or not, but a lot of the hero names in the last game I played had numbers in between the first and last name E.g FIRST NAME -46 SURNAME. Some even had two numbers (and they are always negative)

Didn't think to take screen shots for some reason, if i see them again I will.

Qutoing from our Horatio Hero Competition:

"The last name is not *only* random gibberish. It is system name - factory designation - batch code - unit number. More detail than that is hard to give, as the size of the factories, the frequency of production, the size of the batches, etc. can vary widely in the internecine race to create the most perfect Horatios."

In Tutorial: Ship Design View (continued), point 2, it says "Simply click on a module to remove it from the Ship Design and free up some sausage space." While this is funny, I think "sausage" is not the correct term here

In the bio for the proposed Sophon community hero Shalandra it states that she "stole on of the most valuable manuscripts" instead of "one of the most valuable". Thought I'd point that out before it goes into game. I know it isn't finalised but it's easy to overlook typos in work you're familliar with unfortunately.

Sausage space can't be a typo. Every space captain worth his salt knows the crew needs its morning sausages!

When you quit a game, it says:

You have quit the game. You have left retreated from the conflict, leaving victory to another empire. Either one is appropriate. Neither, not so much.

We all know everyone loves designing around sausage space. It goes well with bacon and eggs on a plate.

Redsang description

"This red spice is derived from a lichen that prefers on coral reefs but can be found anywhere there are traces of water."

probably remove "on"?

Tutorial: Encounter Panel - item 4 description

"You can see the order of battle of the ships participating to the battle[...]"

"to" should be "in"

One I've noticed is the description of weapon actions. Regarding number of shots per SALVO and the like. Refers to them as a "salve", aka, an ointment. Not so lethal that, unless it is an arsenic salve.

Keep those comments coming!

We are redoing and rewriting texts as well as polishing the current stuff and adding new stuff all the time. The more vigilant you guys are, the better we get. Thanks!

P.S. I changed it to "This red spice is derived from a lichen that thrives on coral reefs..."

This is not in the game but in the game manual :

on page 20 - Diplomatic Negotiations Panel

The screenshot and the text do not coincide. They are numbered from 1 ot 7 in screenshot and the text goes from 1-8

Hero "Slava Smerov", at the end, there is a typo, maybe a missing string I guess: " Exept, of course, $hero56." For info, I used galaxy seed 56, so maybe that's why?

In the weapon descriptions it says "salve" it should be "salvo." A salve is something you put on wounds, a salvo is a volley of weapons fire.

In the Ship Design View under Support Modules the context box that pops up when over Repair reads -

"Modules that regenerate over time your damaged ships" should be

"Modules that regenerate your damaged ships over time"

I have an odd feeling this was translated by a computer.

yes dev typo haha should be %StarSystemStatusBlocusCompoundTitle

Which would read "Blockaded System" as the title

Should be added to the list of .30 text errors if not already.
