The tick box in the Select Default Rank popup in the Ground Force Windows doesn't have any text assigned to it

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?

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 GEV UTS Henry Russell has been killed due to the destruction of the Bridge on GEV UTS Henry Russell"

vs.

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

Shouldn't that read Science Dept rather than Bridge?

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.

In the Event window: select the "Text Colour" button with no event selected.  You get a popup about the background colour when it should reference text colour.

Also: shouldn't this thread be locked among the top in the bug subforum?
