Typo Thread bugs

[pwhk]

The "United States" name list contains "Brain". I think it is intended to be "Brian"?

[pwhk]

Under "Economics" Windows, tab "Shipyard Tasks", there is a heading titled "Assigned Task Group". AFAIK Task Group no longer exist. I think it should be "Assigned Fleet"?

Create Research Project Window, creating Shield Generators, the design text field have "Size" and "Development Cost" put in one line without space in between. However, all other techs have "Development Cost" on a separate line.

Intelligence and Foreign Relations, Select other empire, "Known Species" tab, it reads "Oxygen Pressue"

 - Under Railgun Velocity:

"The muzzle velocity of the railgun. Railguns with higher velocities can shoot their ammo further and inflict damage at greater ranges. This works in a similar wave to laser wavelengths"

 - Should be:

"The muzzle velocity of the railgun. Railguns with higher velocities can shoot their ammo further and inflict damage at greater ranges. This works in a similar way to laser wavelengths."

Aurora v. 1.13.0

Not a real bug, maybe only a "cosmetic" issue, a "mute flag":

- Commander Windows
- Select a Scientist and press Change Field button
- After "Confirmation required" message, the popup "Select New Research Field" has a "mute" flag, with no explanation: flag or unflagg does not seem to affect anything.

On 1. 13. 0, in Class design, the dropdown menu for selecting ship types has a repeated option for Military Tanker TKM

Aurora v.  1. 13. 0

The "Explorers" name list has an entry named Andrés de UrdanetaCayetano Valdés.
Presumably this should be two different names: Andrés de Urdaneta and Cayetano Valdés.

Aurora 1. 13. 0

Not "a" typo, but "a lot of" typos.   

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.   :)

PS: On a site note, is it just me, or is the forum software actually automatically inserting spaces after each and every period? (as in 1. 13. 0 (typed without spaces))

That stops happening once you have posted more than 10 postings :-)

To clarify, it is an anti-spam "feature" to stop link bots by mangling URLs etc. in posts. Once you have 10+ comments the forum will accept you as a real person and let you post normally.

Steve has happily accepted player-created naming themes in the past. Please make as many as you have the energy for and post them here:
http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=10472.0

It's best to write them in UTF-8 .txt file that Steve can just copy & paste - or you can write them into your forum post and then use the spoiler tags so your post doesn't take too much. Different themes should be in separate files or posts.

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) 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.

Err, I think you mean Steve.

And he's not even Scottish.
