For instance:
An encrypted transmission was intercepted from inide the starbase.
Picking nits I'm sure, and something WAAAYYYY down the priority list.

- 'Rail Mortor mkII' (misspelling in the blueprint name)
- 'Rail Gun mkIIV' (misspelling in the blueprint name)
- Jammers help against spanish gentlemen according to their TM (Senor deflection)
(Didn't somebody else mention this already?)
- 'EMF Dampng mkII' (misspelling in the technique name)
- Starbase report misspelling: 'Insufficeint training capacity, no troops trained.'
- Political report misspelling: Issue to 'Break allience'
- 'Requires Blueprint' on TMs for Blueprints? It shows the item number of the item that can be produced with the blueprint so the text should really be: 'Allows to build item'
- In the trade report section on starbase printouts it should read 'Value Multiplier' instead of 'Value (stellars)'
- Starbase descriptions are printed on the starbase printout, but nobody except the player running the starbase is ever going to read this. They should be given to docking positions and perhaps also when scanning the starbase.
- Can we please have a carriage return inserted after jumps/system messages and SA results to improve readability?
- Finally, in the database for the order editor, item type 40 is misspelled as 'Technbique' (you may want to correct this in the next version of the orders file)
- It still reads 'strabse' on the boarding report of starbase printouts (as Peter pointed out above)
Now for some real nitpicking:
- Structural modules (the only module item where 'module' is spelled with a downcase 'm')
- Fighterbay mkIII (the only fighter bay written as one word, all other versions insert a space between the words 'Fighter' and 'Bay')

These external data typos have been sorted. The rest are hard code typos.
You picked up 1 Human Crew (10505) from CIA XXXXXX (XXXX).
Upon first glance I thought I had actually picked up 1 human crew (my first thought being 'Doh! Another incorrectly typed order) rather than a human crew blueprint.
Is there anyway to easily flag up blueprints so we don't have to really on their item number as an indicator of what they are?
Cheers,
Darren

If you have a mini panic, just look in your cargo report. If it's a 100mu item then you either have a BluePrint or one major diet contender!

There is a political order that is called 'create officier'

Fixed - 22/6/2004
Transferred Some Ship (xxxxx) to the owner of Sean Mcgovern (xxxx).
This action cost you 100 stellars
Not a typo as such, but when transferring to a political this should read ".. transferred ... to the ownership..", or something similar.

You do not know about item 4728 if it exists
Doesn't really make sense. Perhaps:
You do not know about item 4728 or if it exists
or
You do not know whether item 4728 exists or not
etc.

I used the wrong position number for building the ship:
>Date 48.2: Build Ship {25001} {yyy} {Priority - No} {Use Best - No}
Warning - Your starbase is affiliation owned
You can only build ships for affiliation members.
Building Surveyor (1) for position yyy.
- 20 Heavy Hulls (80).
But in the ship yard report it is correct as it coverts to the starbase position:
| Surveyor(1) 3 No zzzz |
So the building <ship> for position <no> needs to be corrected.

It could make sense e.g.
You do not know about item 4728, if it exists.
You do not know about item 4728 (if it exists).
But it depends on the meaning...

How about something simpler like:
What is item 4278?

Should be 'at least 10'.
Even though techincally you can have less by deactivating factories.
