Typo... which really bugs me... And something else.

These are old bug reports that have been closed.

in the Starton Eridani Commonwealth station, under Safety information, it says "Avoid all non-Commonwealth station unless escorted or armed"

Station should be stations "Avoid all Non-Commonwealth stations..."

I may not be a perfect speller or a grammar expert myself, but this really bugs me... I guess it bugs me... as in... OCD bugs me... and I probably sound like a stick up :P

And when you are docked at the Starton Eridani station, it consumes your fuel, and if you are just playing the game for the first time, you tend to spend quite a bit of time there, therefore consuming your fuel, causing you to need to refuel real soon, and sometimes you have already spent all your starting Credits on weapons/shields/armor and installing them. Running out of fuel before you can even do anything, heh, is not a good way to start your game. Is there anyway to stop fuel consumption while docked at stations? Cause frankly, I'd turn my engine off while I am refueling, its common sense.

Of course, it's coming from me. The guy who likes to complain and be annoying.

It's proper not to capitalize "stations" as it's not a proper name.

When you're in menus and stations, time runs slower - 60 times slower. If you run out of fuel while docked you are not even going to make it to the gate before you run dry. Are you sure you're not noticing the "lack" of fuel you et when you upgrade your reactor?

I don't upgrade my reactor right away in the game.
But it only happens when you take time to read the info.

well duh, but it is laking the S at the end of the word.

My mistake, for some reason I thought that's what you meant... :?

Must have misunderstood...

I misunderstand everything. So don't feel bad. In fact, laugh at me for not realizing why "Bugger" is considered a swear word in England/Britain. In fact, it's just another way of "Dropping the F-Bomb"
