Netu - please explain what you think is wrong ... Otherwise there is 99% chance I am going to get it wrong.

Netu - please explain what you think is wrong ... Otherwise there is 99% chance I am going to get it wrong. Oh, d'oh, I am sorry! What I am putting money on: "This hand-off of evidence in a legal case is a blatant political snub." I'll make sure to be more specific next time so there's less guesswork.

I looked over the text you had highlighted and did not see anything wrong. My brain has rotted from writing too much.

Today's typo spotting ... imgur.com/LSPqQtJ"A check of your party reveals , who is arrested immediately". It was another effort to smuggle in a person to a planet. imgur.com/klfclBaMisplaced modifier: "Expert in military hardware, looting a captured vessel". Suggestion: "As an expert in military hardware, looting" In related news, could you retitle the thread like "Report typos here", or similar, to remove the outdated version name?

Ugh, see that's crazy. I looked over the text you had highlighted and did not see anything wrong. My brain has rotted from writing too much. That is definitely a thing. Especially for your own writing, where you know what you meant so your brain just sees that. You are not a zombie for it. There have been studies done; papers written. Electrodes on craniums and rulers on behaviors. It's a combination of exhaustion and immersion. It's become too rote for you to fully read, so you just skim, even when trying to read studiously. And you're also just acting reflexively; intuitively. Using the gyrus over the temporal lobe. Brains suck. Which makes these two nitpicks even more nitpicky: Missing semicolon, comma, hyphen, or period in 'mass a range b' Inconsistent capitalization of 'Faction'/'faction'.

n related news, could you retitle the thread like "Report typos here", or similar, to remove the outdated version name? The intention is that players post typos into threads based on the version number they are playing in. This thread has long been abused.

I guess you can close the thread as admin, but then please let us know which thread to post into. Since you have a new version every couple of days, it seems like a lot of work to keep that many threads. It also seems like users (including myself) may post into the first open thread they find, which has a related sounding thread title.

In the smuggler crown arc, the smuggler option screen button says "You're crowing plan is finally ready", should be "Your crowning plan".
Not a typo, but when the arc completed and I had the ability to "make a killing" at the two indicated planets, the return did not seem very impressive. One planet I could not sell at due to negative rep, and the other was a standard refinery with a mining planet nearby. I made several trips from the mining planet to the refinery and I suppose I made a few thousand. But, at this point in my particular game, I had just spent $300k to return $420k on a full load of rare trade goods, so a few thousand did not seem that exciting. By comparison, the de rivesh plotline gave me my key frontline swords-woman Elsa, which was pretty cool.
Will try a new game to get call of the strong and stranded merchant.

Thanks, fixed the typo. As the smuggler warns, your ability to "make a killing" is based on your pre-planning for the event.

I went to the refinery where the pre-planned shortage was coming and got their demand list in advance. It was generic minerals. There was a mining planet nearby. I made two trips to the mining planet and back, while the shortage rumor was still up on the refinery. I suppose the profits on the minerals might have been a little higher, but the minerals were so low-cost that even several full cargo loads didn't generate much cash. Is there different pre-planning I should have done?

Raw Spice, Crystals, Clothing, Advanced Electronics, Gas Processors, Grain, Power Generators ... there are other options than low cost metals There was also the other world that the Smuggler set up a rumor on. The depth of planning is up to you. The Smuggler made it clear he would create Shortage Rumors. What you do with that is in your hands!

The demand list of the refinery didn't show those, it only showed the low cost minerals. Next time I guess I will just use the generic refinery buy list. The other world with the shortage is one I had negative rep at, so I could not have sold anyway.

Probably legality. Anyway -- that's the smuggler's offer, take it, leave it, prep for it, ignore it.

Finished call for the strong. Great plot! A couple of grammar problems: "I have another stubborn nut that it is time the FD crack". Perhaps "nut, and it is time for the FD to crack it", or "nut that it is time for the FD to crack". "Maybe they can squeeze a little bit of value of the shock trooper" Perhaps "squeeze a little more value from the"
