I suspect Scott changed the formula at some point and forgot to update the description.

Err, I think you mean Steve.
Oops. :P My apologies to Steve.

He had to put in the wrong name so it could stay in the typo section  ;D ;D ;D

Probably also good to remove the reference to "a construction brigade" and swap it out for "construction ground units" or something similar.

DIM_ComponentType: "Jump Gate Construction" - "Jump Point Stabilization", "Construction Time (d)" - "Stabilization Time (d)"?
DIM_EventType: "Jump Gate Underway" - "Jump Stab Underway"?
DIM_StandingOrders: "Build Jump Gate at Nearest Jump Point" - "Stabilize Nearest Jump Point"?

FCT_HullDescription: "Hyper-capable Freighter", "ICBM Launch Base", "Planetary Defence Centre" - delete?

The game writes "subarctic" without the first c, like "subartic". The same might be the case with other terrain types that have "arctic" in the name.

In the "Create Research Project" window, for magazines, there is a typo in the Magazine Field Neutralization menu. The entry for 98% is missing a space between the words "Neutralization" and "System".
 
It's worth noting that in this game, I'm just blatantly cheating. I never would have found this otherwise.

"Shipping Tonnage Maintained" ( in F2 -> Summary tab ) is a bit misleading term for how much warship tonnage your maintenance facilities are supporting in orbit since "Shipping" normally refers to shipping goods/minerals which would be handled by your civilian or commercial tonnage (not requiring maintenance).

The tech "Thermal Reduction: Signature 25% Normal" actually reduces thermal signature to 24% of normal. Not sure which value is correct, but they should match.

Inconsistency in research projects names.

Some research projects for GU armour use "[project name] - ARM x" template, while others use "[project name]- ARM x". The difference is that some have whitespace before dash, while others don't.

Description of multiple warheads tech:

Missiles can split their warhead strength into multiple attacks for an extra 0.25 MSP per additional warhead

This disagrees with the pricing given in http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=13090.msg164435#msg164435 so it may be a outdated string.

Fixed, but won't appear until the next DB update.

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.

Name Theme: United States

This name seems like a mistake: "Major Wm Sugarman assigned as Commanding Officer of...

Google shows that Sugarman is definitely a real last name but Wm shows up as the stage name of some Soundcloud rapper. Maybe it was supposed to be William?
