Rather than using the bug thread for cosmetic typos, please post those in here.
-
New Game -> Allow Civilian Harvesters tooltip is identical to tooltip for Civilian Shipping Lines Active.
-
Class Design Window: Button "Design Philosopy" is missing an h between the p and y... and pressing that button throws a function #2623 error...
-
Create Research Project with 0 available labs: "At keast one research facility must be selected".
-

Leaving that button visible was an accident. I was using it to test NPR designs. Removed for next version.
-
Create Research Project with 0 available labs: "At keast one research facility must be selected".
Fixed.

In Missile Designer - default "Buoy" name is spelled "bouy"

Not really a typo, but a cosmetic:
Can you change the spacing on the 'Completion Date' field in research, so we can see the date? Right now it's giving things like:
Monday, December …
Saturday, February 2. . .
EDIT: I found the instructions on how to fix this in the other thread.
-
The tooltip for the Turret Design window on the Tactical Map is incorrect - it reads "Open Fighter Squadron Window".
-
Race Comparison window tooltip reads as "Open Potential Colonies Window" - it's the icon with Earth on it.

Instant RST prompt reads: "Are you sure you want to give all designated byt unresearched tech to this race?".
-
This isn't exactly a typo, but it is a simple text change.
2007 OR10 Has been given the Name Gonggong, I didn't check every numbered asteroid, but I figure at least the last remaining Dwarf planet should get its proper name.

Fixed.
-
my transports were unable to load infrastructure because none were "avauilable" for pickup.
-
Improved Pebble Bed reactor tech tooltip says "Pre-requisite tech for improved nuclear thermal engines", but it should be for nuclear pulse engines
-
The research tooltip for the Orbital Habitat shows a capacity of 50k instead of 200k, and the one for the Ground Formation Construction Rate has a typo in the "constructio(i)n" word, atleast for a rate of 320.
Additionally, i'm not sure if this is the correct thread, but in the Unit Class Design tab of the Ground Forces window, clicking Base Unit Type and Component Type throws errors: Function #2608 and #1838 for the former, and Function #1845 for the latter, both of the type "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.".
-
on system view, it says crustal instead of cristal for hydro
-
on system view, it says crustal instead of cristal for hydro
I think it's supposed to. "Crustal" as in 'locked away in the planet's crust' rather than "Frozen" in an 'ice crystal' layer.

I've decided to play scenario shipped with game (Terran Federation).
1. Build Sector command.
2. Assigned sector governor
Economics->Summary->Sector Governor field shows "None". In commanders window it says he was assigned with date.
Planetary Governor working great.

Both fixed.
-
In the game information window, the setting 'Civilian Shiping Lanes Active' should read 'Shipping', not 'Shiping'
-
Event log, ship scrapping - does not leave space between ship name and action:
(https://i.imgur.com/DAqlrfo.png)
-
The tooltip for the medals window reads "Open Fuel Report Window"
-
On the Naval Organization Screen, under the Fleet tab, and then the Movement Orders tab, there's a button at the bottom to "Create Tenplate."
-
Commanders window, Naval Officers, Top-Right History Field:
"{DATE} Assigned as Executive Officer of {Ship}"
"{DATE} Relieved as executive officer of {Ship}"
Minor Upper/Lowercase issue
-
The default fleet selection for shipyards still says Task Group instead of Fleet
-
This is not so much a typo as a cosmetic inconsistency. In 'Create Research Project' under 'Beam Fire Control', speed and range smaller than 1 are displayed differently. Range is displayed as percentages (50%, 34%, 25%), but speed is displayed as a factor (0.5x, 0,75x).
-
Improved Pebble Bed reactor tech tooltip says "Pre-requisite tech for improved nuclear thermal engines", but it should be for nuclear pulse engines
Fixed.
-
Everything fixed up to this point.
-
The asteroid "Herscel" is missing its middle h, should be "Herschel".
-
The asteroid "Herscel" is missing its middle h, should be "Herschel".
Fixed.
-
Various inconsistencies in the names of ground combat techs.
- "Heavy bombardment Weapon"
- For new weapons, between the name and the stats, there's variously a colon, a period, a dash with spaces on either side, a dash with a space after but none before, and just a space.
- Heavy autoncannon's stats are "SHOT 3", but heavy bombardment's are "SHOTS 3"
For the last two, you might also want to put the stats into the tech description, instead of the tech name.
-
In Sol, the moon "Io" lists its Tectonics status as simply the letter "f":

That is an obfuscation bug. Fixed for next version.
-
The tooltip for the Improved Nuclear Pulse Engine Technology states, "Base engine technology for engine component designs. Provides 8 power per HS of engine" Correctly is 10 power, not 8 power.
edit: v1. 10
edit2: Delete unnecessary sentences
-
Aurora v1. 10
Still doesn't show Sector Governor in Economics->Summary
It is showing properly in "Sector Window"
-
The tooltip for the Improved Nuclear Pulse Engine Technology states, "Base engine technology for engine component designs. Provides 8 power per HS of engine" It provides eight outputs per HS of the engine. " Correctly is 10 power, not 8 power.
edit: v1. 10
Fixed that and a couple of other engines.
-
Aurora v1. 10
Still doesn't show Sector Governor in Economics->Summary
It is showing properly in "Sector Window"
Stupid question :) but has the system been added to the sector?
-
v1. 10
Tooltip description of Particle Beam Range tech and Particle Beam Strange tech shows torpedo tech.
Particle Beam Range tech tooltip "The maximum range of all torpedo types"
Particle Beam Strange tech tooltip "Technology for torpedoes. Affects warhead strength, size of launcher and power required"
Minor issue
Fuel Production 168,000 litres tooltip "The annual fuel production for each Fuel Refinery to168,000 litres"
edit:Add Minor issue
-
v1.10, Automated turns tooltip says "Autoated".
-
Tooltip for Meson Armour Retardation tech reads "The percentage of meson shots stopped by each later of armour"
-
Tooltip for Meson Armour Retardation tech reads "The percentage of meson shots stopped by each later of armour"
Fixed.
-
Not a "typo", but appropriate for this thread: Commander info in C# no longer shows gender, like it did in VB6.
-
V1. 20: Particle Beam Research info refers to torpedos. I'm fairly sure particle beams aren't torpedos?
Particle Beam Range 150. 000 km: "The maximum range of all torpedo types"
Particle Beam Strength 3: "Technology for torpedoes. Affects warhead strength, size of launcher and power required"
Not sure about the research before/after those, I just noticed it.
Edit: Just saw someone else pointed this out already at the bottom of the last page. Oops. :)
-
On the Economics: Wealth/Trade screen, I would expect to see "Expense Type" in the right table, rather than both tables saying "Income Type".

Not a typo, not exactly a bug. . . V1. 20, Event Log
It will tell me that X completed "Research Project", in VB6 it would also state that X now starting "Research Project 2".
-
I'm Doing a pass through the whole UI as I play. I figure UI issues arent really important enough to clutter up the other bug thread?
Part 1
Aurora 1.3
New Game window UI
Left window :
Tooltips only show when hovering over the number input box, but not when over the words.
Research speed, Terraforming speed, Survey speed, Detection and Disaster have no toolip.
Middle window:
"Allow Human NPR" , "Generate Rakhas", "Allow civilian Harvesters" Buttons have no tooltip
Right window:
Tooltips only show when hovering over the number input box, but not when over the words.
"Earth mineral deposits", "Minimum NPR distance" "Add planet X" Options have no tooltips.
Create Race Screen
Unavailable options are thin black text that's impossible to read against the blue background.
[Suggestion] Clicking on an image should also be a button to change that image.
Many ship images are excessively large and should probably be resized.
System window :
Added jump points arent visible untill surveyed. They should be Visible with Spacemaster mode turned on.

One of the last names in the German naming theme is duplicated, but in parentheses and without the umlaut.

When you press Instant RST in v 1.3, it asks "Are you sure you want to give all designed byt unresearched tech to this race?"

The Tooltip and Description Post
Not big enough to be bugs, but certainly enough to be confusing, here's a list of all the broken, wrong or otherwise nitpicked tooltips & descriptions I've found so far, with an emphasis on consistency (if nothing has a tooltip, I don't count it). Most aren't 'typos', but I think the intent of the thread is clear.
Before starting: A 'Broken' tooltip is one that has no tooltip, that is to say, it does not change from the last tooltip when you hover over it.
Also, this is for the most part, nitpicking of the highest order, but that being said, here's the loooong list:
Game information screen tooltips:
'Broken':
Research Speed
Terraforming Speed
Survey Speed
Confirm Password
Allow Human NPRs
Generate Rakhas
Allow Civilian Harvesters
Missing full stops:
Orbital motion for Planets/Moons
Orbital motion for Asteroids
Generate non-TN races only
Generate Precursors
Generate Invaders (also it uses '(NPR)s' as opposed to '(NPR)')
Generate Star Swarm
NPRs activate Ancient Races
No Maintenance Required
New Tech from Conquest
Research Screen Tooltips:
Doing full stops for this would drive me mad and make this a very, very long list, so I'm ignoring it for my own sanity.
May Contain Errors/Not enough info:
Every single TN Armour tech doesn't refer to itself, only to 'Tutorial 4'. . . Either I've missed the tutorials completely, or they're all wrong. Given how the 'newer' pre TN armours don't reference this, I'm confident in saying that it's wrong.
Heavy bombardment Weapon & Long Range Bombardment Weapon (. . . or units in a support position) I thought they could be used by rear echelon position units too?
Ultra-Heavy Vehicle Armour: (. . . super-heavy vehicles) Shouldn't that be Ultra-Heavy?
Ground Transport Shuttles: (. . . Reduces Load Time by x per Bay) Is x a factor? It doesn't say. . .
Maintenance Module (. . . ship/PDC. . . ) What is this PDC of which you speak? ;)
Tokamak Fusion Reactor and up doesn't tell you which engine it's the pre-requisite for, while the lower tech ones do.
All Active Grav Sensor Strength (. . . detected by GPD sensors) GPD sensors?
Electronic Intelligence and Analysis Module (might need a little more description of what it actually does for you)
Typos:
Ground Forces Construction Rate (all of them) (. . . one ground force constructioin complex)
All Terrain Capability Techs (An Unit. . . )
All Railgun Launch Velocity (similar wave to laser wavelengths)
Missing:
Instant
Instant RST
Compare
Create Research Project Screen:
Not strictly a tooltip/description or typo, but making a shield still makes you enter a fuel consumption rate, and it shouldn't.
-
The Create Research Project window still shows the old formula for active sensor ranges.

v1.4
Asteroid 2004 UP10 is 385571 Otrera https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/385571_Otrera
Asteroid 2008 KV42 is nicknamed Drac https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(528219)_2008_KV42
Not exactly a typo but a display usability issue:
For a 1 ship survey fleet with 50K fuel.
naval organization, fleet tab
fuel display - 50K shown as .1m/.1m And an hour after leaving earth it of course rounds down showing 0m/.1m
If conditional formatting would be difficult - perhaps changing the default unit to K instead of M would still work for most fleets?
-
v1. 5-
The description for ground formation construction rate 320 reads "Annual build points for one ground force constructioin complex"
-
Not a typo per se but in class design the buttons use some times "class" and sometimes "design". Makes it a bit hard to follow what buttons affect what since in my mind different word used would refer to a different thing.
Maybe rename "Lock design" to "Lock class" and "Copy design" to "Copy class"?
-
There's the good old* 'flourine' in the 'Environment' drop down menu.
After all, terraforming station and bakeries are supposed to be two separate infrastructures.
* It was already in the VB version.

Survey vessel got blown up, event screen telling my my science officer died instead says the ship was killed because of the bridge of the ship blowing up

"Science Officer Damien Palmberg has been killed due to the destruction of the Bridge on GEV UTS Henry Russell"

1.5.1
'chaging grade points' -> 'changing grade points'
(http://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=10TCok9MTZz-Ys_ZehflAQ6lAVpaki9aU)
-
Version 1.51
Ship refitted with addition of new crew post refit.
Event Report currently reads, "....10 additional crew required,chaging grade points to 100"
Probably should read, "....10 additional crew required, changing (chaging) grade points to 100"
-
Auto award criteria for 25,000 tons of ground forces does not have a comma. 10k does.
-
v1. 5. 1
Description of "Maintenance Module" under Logistics still refer to now non-existent "PDC":
A ship component that is added to the total maintenance facilites of a population if the ship/PDC is on the same planet or in near orbit

Here a copy pasta from an earlier post (1.4) regarding the new game creation screen.
Minor UI issues
When creating new game.
Missing tooltips
"Allow Human NPRs"
"Generate Rakhas"
"Allow Civilian Harvesters"
"Earth Mineral Deposits (100 = normal)
"Minimum NPR Distance (LY)"
"Maximum NPR Distance (LY)"
"Add Planet X to the Sol System"
Tooltip only shows when mouse hovers over number, but not descriptive text
"Starting Year"
"Number of Player Races"
"Minimum Sol Jump Points (0 = Random)
Typos and such
"Orbital Motions for Planets / Moons" Missing the "." at the end.
"Generate non-TN races only" Missing the "." at the end.
"Generate Precursors" Missing the "." at the end of the last sentence.
"Generate Invaders" "... normal non-player race (NPR)s" I think "(NPRs)." is better.
"Generate Star Swarm" Missing the "." at the end of the last sentence.
"NPR´s activate Ancient Races" Missing the "." at the end of the sentence.
"No Maintenance Required" Missing the "." at the end of the second sentence.
"Inexperienced Fleet Penalties" Tooltip starts with a "space" instead of the "W".
"Number of Non-Player Races" Tooltip, "... Aurora and are hidden ..." between "and" and "are" is one space too much.
Sorry for the small fries, but I wanted to help, too.
*Edit: Removed some of my own typos ::)*
The Last bit contains potential typo`s. Especially the Punctuation of the tooltips are inconsistent.
-
Wealth tab categorizes space station constructions as Orbital Habitation constructions, likely a relic of VB6.
-
Events window, Don't select an event, then click "Text Colour"
Please select an event to change the background colour
Probably should say foreground colour. ;)

v1.8.0
Economics Window, Environment tab.
"Annual Terraform Capacity (..." label is cut off.
-
In the 40k Empire officer's scheme the highest naval rank would either be a Lord High Admiral or the Solar Admiral. The former is the higher rank but probably wouldn't see combat as his job is to run the rest of the imperial navy.
-
I didn't read the whole thread but found a typo / inconsistency.
Standing Orders: Build Jump Gate at Nearest Jump Point
Manual Orders: Stabilize Jump Point
Left over from VB6 I'm assuming. Either order works fine as is.

Rank theme "Deutschland"; typos and missing/corrected abbreviations:
Admiral (ADM)
Vizeadmiral (VADM)
Konteradmiral (KADM)
Flottillenadmiral (FADM)
Kapitän zur See (KZS)
Fregattenkapitän (FK)
Korvettenkapitän (KK)
General (GEN)
Generalleutnant (GL)
Generalmajor (GM)
Brigadegeneral (BG)
Oberst (O)
Oberstleutnant (OTL)
Major (M)
These are all from the Bundeswehr. Previous ranks were kind of mixed from multiple eras (Kommodore ceased to exist after WWII and Brigadegeneral didn't exist before that). If you wanted to represent another era, just say so. Personally I'm going for a WWI'ish theme, with one extra rank for each branch, so I could probably provide more themes.

Kapitän zur See means something along the lines of sailing Captain or Captain on the seas. If we try to transfer this theme onto spacetravel I suggest "Kapitän im Raum" Captain in space, "Kapitän in den Sternen" Captain among the stars or plain "Raumkapitän" Spacecaptain.

There is inconsistent pluralisation when designing a new component in the "create research project" window. In the drop down menu you can choose the component type, where you can design new "Shield Generators" (plural), but also design a new "Railgun" (singular). For consistency these should either be all plural or all singular. I prefer all singular since you are designing only one shield generator and you then put many of them into your ships. I. e. in that list change Lasers -> Laser, Thermal Sensors -> Thermal Sensor, Engines -> Engine etc.

Super-tiny cosmetic typo: The technologies 'Heavy bombardment Weapon' and 'Super-heavy Vehicle Armour' lack capitalization of the second word in each phrase.

This is in part still around in 1. 9. 0.
When opening a fresh class design window, the button is called "lock class". When creating and selecting a new ship class however, it changes to "Lock design". This hints at some redundant code somewhere.
Also "unlock design" was not renamed and should be called "unlock class" for consistency.

In the „Kriegsmarine“ Name Theme - „Admiral“ ist misspelled as „Admaril“ for the Hipper and Scheer. Also the „Bismarck“ is missing its‘ C in the CK at the end there
Edit: „Kronprinz Wilheim“ should probably be „Kronprinz Wilhelm“. And „Thuringin“ should be „Thuringen“ if you must skip the lovely Umlauts :-\
Edit 2: Thanks for the Tip! I hope this works

Jobran180, if you can create a new version of these naming themes as a simple TXT file and attach it to your post, it can include ä ö å ü and so on. Don't just type it in a post, because then the forum software does something to it that makes it not work with Aurora, but Steve can replace the old theme with a new theme from a text file even if it includes special symbols.

In the "Classical Astronomers" and "Astronomers" naming themes, poor Sir Issac Newton PRS has my sympathy ever since the very first ship class I designed and built in VB Aurora.
Edit: He appears in the "Famous People" list as well; and I hadn't noticed Issac Asimov following him although that should bother me even more, given my forum name.

I used the attached but still lost the Umlauts and Eszetts for some reason. I've edited the db manually with the names from the file and they are now displaying correctly. This will only appear in the next db update, not 1.9.1.

Not really a typo but in the mouse-overs of the game-information screen (if you click the wheel button on the main game screen) there is talk of Real Stars game and Real-world Stars game and an option called Known Star Systems. I assume that is three different terms for the same option? I think it is less confusing to standardize them into a single term.

Wanted to bump my own typo as I never got confirmation it was fixed. If it was fixed, I apologize for bringing it up again. It hasn't been fixed as of the 1.9 DB update, at any rate.
-
Not exactly a typo, and I think it might be carryover from VB, but the two beam fire control techs are named:
Beam Fire Control Range 32,000 km
Fire Control Speed Rating 2000 km/s
I feel like for consistency the names would work better as:
Beam Fire Control Range 32,000 km
Beam Fire Control Speed 2000 km/s
Or possibly "Tracking" instead of speed if preferred. This would also make them alphabetically adjacent on the list of research projects.
-
In the standing orders of Jump Stabilisation Ships, there is a standing order called "Build Jump gate at nearest Jump point. " This is probably a carryover from VB6 and should be called "Stabilise nearest Jump Point" because of lore changes.

54 themes contain duplicate names. 628 duplicates total, 13 duplicate duplicates.
True, but I'm not sure we want to change this. For example, Athabasca is a native tribe, a river, a national park, and a lake (all in Canada). That's five different naming themes it could all reasonably be on, and I don't think there is a correct answer as to which one gets to keep it. (Sure, three of those entries could become Lake Athabasca and Athabasca River and Athabasca Park but if I wanted all my River class vessels to be called '[something] River' I'd use the new naming conventions to do so.)
Likewise, as mentioned above Sir Isaac Newton is both a famous astronomer and a famous person. Which list gets to keep him?
- - - - -
I was one of the people responsible for getting Aurora auto-name generation changed to ignore skipped names instead of retrying them, precisely because of name duplication issues -- because Collingwood is both a famous admiral and an Australian city. Because Le Havre appeared on two lists back then and I didn't want to manually rename twenty-two battlecruisers.
I want to keep duplicated names. . . though I would be delighted with a tool to quickly check if my empire has duplicate names.

Not really a type - When you research a Prototype, the log entry just says such and such technology researched, without any evidence, that you only created a prototype.
-
On the "Create New Race" screen the right-side bottom column uses "Conventional Factories" when the rest of Aurora uses "Conventional Industry"

It seems I wasn't clear, so I apologize for the confusion.This isn't about names shared between different themes, which as you say are perfectly valid, but duplicates within themes. 54 themes each contain at least one name more than once. The fix I posted removes those duplicates without affecting shared names. It also sorts the table.
This fix could also be made permanent by changing the definition of the affected table to
CREATE TABLE "DIM_NamingTheme" (
"NameThemeID" INTEGER NOT NULL,
"Name" TEXT NOT NULL,
UNIQUE("NameThemeID", "Name")
);
and changing the code that fills it to use "INSERT OR IGNORE INTO" instead of plain "INSERT INTO".
UNIQUE on both columns ensures that duplicate rows can't be inserted while still permitting name sharing between themes.
INSERT OR IGNORE tells SQLITE to silently discard inserts that violate the UNIQUE constraint.
Replacing UNIQUE with PRIMARY KEY and changing the last line from ");" to ") WITHOUT ROWID;" permanently sorts the table, that is all future inserts will also be sorted.

There is an event "Scientist Rebecca Miller developed a severe medical problem that has forced him to retire".
As gender is no longer tracked for leaders, this event could use the gender neutral phrase "that has forced them to retire", which is appropriate for everyone including aliens and robot leaders (if someone wishes to RP as them).

Yes, but then it might be wrong.
As noted elsewhere, Aurora needs better terminology to differentiate between '(geo) survey next body' and '(grav) survey next location' -- either appending "geo" or "grav" to the start of all such orders, or changing the name of one of them from "survey" to something else. My preference would be type prefixes (including "xeno survey").

Pretty sure it's just a typo more than a bug, but railguns in ship designs always have "Accuracy Modifier 100%" listed. Unless I missed something railguns can't (and won't?) be shrunk down like gauss can for less space but also less accuracy, so there's no reason to show that.

ROF is being used incorrectly by every conceivable definition rule of English. It cannot be an interval only. That would be a recharge or restore mechanic.
A rate is the ratio between two related quantities in different units. ROF aka Rate of Fire, is how many times a weapon platform FIRES in a given time period. 300 rounds per minute, 2 rounds per minute, 1 round per 10 seconds, 1 round per 8 hours are all real world examples of rates of fire.
ROF 5 is not a ratio in game, it is a declared variable. There has to be a relationship defined. A better terminology for the game would be Shots per Increment. Requiring both number of shots and the increment to be defined by the platform. (Which is precisely what rate of fire means.) At the very least ROF needs to be changed as well as the wording to reflect it is how long the weapon takes to recharge or "activate".

The changes list introduces the concept of Structural Shells:
http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=8495.msg106758#msg106758
But the design window says
"This design is classed as a Space Station for construction purposes"
Given that there is a Hull Type on the Class Design screen called 'Space Station' but that this does not require the design to use the structural shell rules, we now have the situation that a design can end up:
1 -- A Space Station (by hull type) but not a structural shell and therefore not "a Space Station for construction purposes"
2 -- Not a space station (by hull type) but indeed a Structural Shell (by checkbox) and therefore "a Space Station for construction purposes"
3 -- Both Space Station (by hull type) and a Structural Shell (by checkbox) and therfore "a Space Station for construction purposes"
and of course, 4 -- Neither a space station nor a structural shell; in other words, a regular ship.

Gauss ROF = Number of shot / 5 s increment
Missile/Beam ROF = Number of seconds / shot
Railguns use multiple shots per activation as well, which causes another problem since the increment time can be variable, thus creating an average which would be inconsistent with game mechanics.. Recharge or reload are both common usages for time between actions. To keep rate of fire in consistent usage it has to e shots per time increment. There is nothing wrong with using 0.5 shots per 5 seconds or .33 per increment as a ROF.
Recharge or Reload Rate should be what current ROF is called, otherwise ROF needs to be recalculated to actually display shots per 5 second increment as a rational number.

Not quite a typo, but still a text bug. Here is the blurb that show when you click on researching a new kind of laser.
"Laser wavelength technology. The higher a laser wavelength, the less the laser loses power with range. Therefore, higher wavelength lasers will cause more damage at longer range than lower wavelength lasers of the same focal size"
The thing is, you have the wavelength backwards. Frequency times wavelength is a constant. Frequency increases as you go from infrared to x-rays but that means that wavelength decreases. I was originally confused about why I would want to research lasers that I was told performed worse.

The fuel consumption displayed in the engine power dropdown on missile design is wrong for boosts past the tech level max boost.
For example, on a fresh 1. 11. 0 Imperium of Man database, 255% displays as "Engine Power: 255% Fuel Consumption: 51. 92" instead of 11. 21. Boosts below the tech level limit display correctly (e. g. "Engine Power: 250% Fuel Consumption: 9. 88") and the totalized fuel usage and efficiency numbers for the missile are correct (after accounting for the label swaps that other have noted in this thread)

I see some people have pointed out the description for Maintenance Modules mentioned PDC's but the text still seems wrong to me.
I hope this hasn't changed without me realising; on the C# changes list it is stated (emphasis mine):
"Any location that contains a population with maintenance facilities or a ship with maintenance modules is known as a 'Maintenance Location'. This does not need to be in the same location as a population. A Maintenance Location consisting only of ships with maintenance modules could be in deep space."
On the research description for Maintenance Modules it states:
"A ship component that is added to the total maintenance facilites of a population if the ship is on the same planet or in near orbit"
For ages I wasn't researching maintenance modules because I thought I had misread info about them on the wiki/forums.

I'm from Germany, and I use the german name themes thoroughly.
The first things I noticed are the missing "ä" in the name of military ranks (Kapitän). There is a commonly used alternative for crossword puzzles by using "ae", also "ue" (ü) and "oe" (ö).
Then, in my newest game, star systems are named after german cities. Well. . . :'( - I got "Munchen" for one system, so I renamed it properly to "München", just to get the very next system called "Munchen" again. :-\
Also many cities a spelled with ". . . berg" instead of the correct ". . . burg".
I'm pretty sure this would be an immense heap of work, espacially for a non-german, so I'm willing to offer my help to get these names fixed. Just let me know how. :)

I don't know if this is the correct thread, if not please direct me to the correct one.
In the Create Research Project window, while designing Active Sensors / Missle Fire Control the description gives the following formula for sensor range (see attachment):
Sensor Range = Sensor Strength x Size x SQRT(Resolution) x EM Sensitivity x 10,000 km
This formula is wrong. I spot checked the following formula for Active Sensors (credit to Iceranger in this forum post: http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=12068.0 (http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=12068.0)) and it seems to work:
Active Sensor Range = SQRT(Racial Sensor Strength * HS * Racial EM Sensitivity * (Resolution ^ (1/1.5)) / PI) * 1,000,000 km
I suspect Scott changed the formula at some point and forgot to update the description.

Third Class Cruiser appears twice on the list.
Survey Corvette also appears twice but I think the second one is supposed to be survey carrier based on the SCV type.
Not sure why Survey Cruiser has two different tags - CS is already used by Colony Ship so the SRV, being a unique one, would be better suited to be the only one for survey cruisers and this would also avoid the duplication.
SJW: Duplicates removed and second corvette now carrier

Not quite a typo, but the order of the modifiers for beam fire control range and speed are not consistent. Range goes from normal to 1.25x to 4x and then it jumps back down to 0.2x until 0.9x. Speed goes from normal to 0.5x and follows regular increments until 4x. It would be nice if the range modifier had similar incremental order.
SJW: The ranges less than 1 are at the bottom because they will be used less often.

According to this reddit thread, it does exist.

If you work with databases of the general public in the Uk you will cease to be amazed by the weirdness of names and spelling mistakes of names you encounter. There is no name too weird for some parent to use

A typo someone on Discord pointed out but seems to not have made it here:
in Missiles/Kinetics research the tech line for Active Termal Guidance +X% should probably be rather Thermal Guidance?
SJW: Should be Terminal. Fixed for v2.4.0

Following the successful survey of alien ruins by xenoarchaeology ground forces, the attached message appears as an event.
It states, in part, "... their language and symboloy have been translated..."
I presume it should be "symbology"

The above is a copy paste directly from the DB, the game has been rendered unplayable by the missing space in the techsystem name.

"Genetic Conversion Rate 16m"
Thankfully the actual "AdditionalInfo" value in the DB seems to be the correct 1.6m, it's just the name that's forgotten the decimal separator.

"Genetic Conversion Rate 16m"
Thankfully the actual "AdditionalInfo" value in the DB seems to be the correct 1. 6m, it's just the name that's forgotten the decimal separator.
Confirming that this showed up in my game a few days back as well; I still haven't done that research level so I wasn't yet sure enough about the effect to post.
Edit time: tech just finished; conversion rate is 1. 6m as expected, only a typo in the tech's name.

Yes, but it's a British typo.

It should be
s t a b i l i s e
but currently it is
s t a b l i i s e
So just one i jumped over the l instead of staying where it should be. I have to admit, I've never even noticed, my brain has silently fixed it :P

You know. Reading comprehension

Even more peculiar... both "s t a b l i i s e" and "s t a b i l i s e" are present. :)

So the typo only happens when a standing order is applied to an unexplored JP?

It seems so.
I am seeing it only for unexplored JPs.
Just found a counterexample.

Not a typo strictly speaking but the United States name theme contains "Unavailable" as a last name, which I'm assuming is a mistake.
