Sigh, another double post...

Martok's KbeajQ special ability, Torpedo Drone:

"Fires an homing torpedo drone" ... should be "Fires a homing torpedo drone"

Dont know if this has been posted, but when I play as the Dominion Dreadnoughts, I notice that on one or two of them, I believe the Klingon and Borg ones, it fails to list that it has a poleron beam. Instead, it just says that it has 6x Torpedoes, and the special abilities. I think it stays like that for all the ranks

Yeah, I believe that has been mentioned a few months back and fixed

EDIT: here it is Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations - Borg V-15 BUG

yeah, there it was mentioned for the Borg one, but it also happened for the Klingon one as well

Ah, I was referring to this: 

hyperspace disruptor on klingon/borg V-15 looks exactly like polaron beam on any other dominion ship

Oh, sorry. Silly me, I sorta skimmed over the entire topic

Holding beam says: "Transports [blank] drones per seconds". "Seconds" should not have an "s" at the end of it .

Surely it would be easier to just run everything typed through a word processor in order to check for errors?...

Both "second" and "seconds" are correct to a spell checker. It's the usage of "seconds" (plural) instead of "second" (singular) that's the problem in the previous report. That could not be detected by a spell checker.

And there are lots of those ocurrences, that can be detected by a human, but not by a spell checker. Think of "your" and "you're". Both are correct in English, but it's where they are used that defines if it's a mistake or not.

So, spell checking is not enough.

that and there is a lot of the code that the spell checker wont understand either so it would just take longer.

Ever heard of a little thing known as the 'Replace' function? Hardly takes a long time to sort out...

1. Press Ctrl+H
2. Type 'drones per seconds' in the first box
3. Type 'drones per second' in the second box (just incase seconds is used correctly elswhere)
4. Hit 'Replace All'
5. Problem solved

That's actually what I did when I first started taking information from the Dynamic Strings List: just replaced all the errors once I started finding them
