There is inconsistency in names of some stars, for example:

Barnards Star - no apostrophe in the name.

Scholz's Star - there is apostrophe in the name.

I think that correct name is for stars that were added or renamed for C# Aurora from this post: http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=8495.msg107348#msg107348

Rest have names without apostrophe taken from VB6 version.

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):
Quote
"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:
Quote
"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.

Now I've noticed it it is driving me crazy:

When you design a new engine, the game puts two spaces before the name's suffix of EPxxx. As in "Magneto-plasma Drive  EP160.00". <--- I cut and pasted that from the game. High priority item reported right here!  ;D

On "Modify Star" using SM mode, the Spectral Class G2-V is entered twice with slightly different settings.

In the fleet movement orders, there is an order called "Stabilise Jump Point". In the fleet standing orders there is an order called "Build Jump Gate at nearest Jump Point". As jump gates no longer exist, this should be called "Stabilise nearest Jump Point"

When a fighter is built, you get an event in the event log called "Fighter Contruction"

Is this thread the wrong place to report typos? I just noticed one and checked this thread just to find out I already reported it  ::). Typos from this thread haven't been fixed since April.

When a flag officer is removed from their command, e.g. due to promotion, the commander history shows that they were relieved as the executive officer.

The "Chinese" commander name list contains "Yab", which does not translate to or sounds to any Chinese word. I believe it is intended to be "Yan".

Found a spelling inconsistency while looking through an officer's history.
