winterwolves Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Hi there I could not find a Xenopedia Typos thread so here is what I saw: There is a "that that" in the last sentence of the second paragraph of the sebillian autopsy.

winterwolves Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Here's another: Plasma pistol, last paragraph, first sentence: "Has clearly has been" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'll add that description for insane difficulty has missing word I think: "The game starts at punishing..." punishing who or what ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwolves Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 And another The hunter scout car, second paragraph, first sentence: ", a vehicle is small and light enough" Two options here: drop the "is" or swap "a" out with "the". I feel I am being a bit obscure. Either ", a vehicle small and light enough" or ", the vehicle is small and light enough" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwolves Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 I guess you can tell from these reports how quickly I am progressing through the game. In the Andron disassembly the last sentence of the last paragraph: "and a present smaller" should be "and present a smaller" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwolves Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Bomber UFO Last paragraph, last sentence "the Bomber an underwhelming combatant" can be changed to either: "the Bomber is an underwhelming combatant" or: "the Bomber: an underwhelming combatant" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterwolves Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Here is a minor point, more about style than being technically incorrect. The weapon descriptions all list the length of the weapon in inches, and the weight in kilograms. So mixing imperial and metric measurements. Nothing particularly wrong with that, especially with our international organisation in the 1970s. I had not even noticed it before, because the aircraft industry has systems alongside each other all the time. For example: When I used to work on the Italian Aeromacchii jet with a Rolls Royce engine we had to have a metric, an imperial AF and a British Witworth set of spanners all on the same tool board. Anyway, it might bug some people. Edited June 6, 2014 by winterwolves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwolves Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Sebillian Analysis, second paragraph, second sentence: "stem cells in Sebillian bloodstream" This does not seem right to me, but I'm not 100% on the best way to fix it. Here a re a few ideas: "stem cells in the Sebillian bloodstream" "stem cells in a Sebillian's bloodstream" "stem cells in Sebillians' bloodstreams" I think I would go for adding "the" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwolves Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 The Hunter and Scimitar costs listed in the Xenopedia are only half of the actual costs to build them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterwolves Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Alien Plasma Cannon Last paragraph, last sentence "one hope it will" Should be "one hopes it will" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterwolves Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Alien Armour Plating First paragraph, first sentence: "than that on smaller UFO, but" should be: "than that on a smaller UFO, but" or: "than that on smaller UFOs, but" some people might put "UFO's" but I am not sure, so I would just add the "a".

legit1337 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Hell, I might as well jump in too. There is an extra, uneeded line in between the first two paragraphs of the laser rifle xenopedia entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwolves Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Back again. There was a long run of flawless Xenopedia entries there, but... Valkyrie Assault Boat Second paragraph, last sentence "cruise at nearly 2000 pm/h" should be "cruise at nearly 2000 km/h". Unless, that is, there is a speed measurement I have not heard of. Nice use of the word discomfiting, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
