In dilithium and tritanium moon resource bar description:

These source has infinite resources

i believe that 'These' should be changed to 'This' ?

I remember that one of the loading screen tips had a grammar error. Unfortunately I don't remember which...

nebula - weapons pod

please state in the tooltip that proxmity torpedoes and tricobalt torpedeos need to be researched to be fired with the pod. And at the reasearch of both torpedeos it would need to be stated that this affects the nebula class - weapons pod as well.

Intrepid Tricobalt torpedos? That's a bit weird since the steamrunner comes with them. I really don't think you should have to do any research for warpins :/

Well precise volley is available without research on it, but you need the research for the Intrepid-style Tricobalt and Monsoon-style Proximity abilities. Precise volley is the most used, the other two cost less energy and are better for certain situations tho.

In the tooltip for the disruptor canon on one of the Romulan Ships (the one where it said this weapon was developed in the 22nd century and is one of the oldest but most widespread weapons in the galaxy, blah blah blah...) it said something like 22th or 23th.

In the loading screen tip about avatar choices it says "chose your avatar wisely.." instead of "choose your avatar wisely..."

I don't know if this has already been reported, but it's a combination typo and grammar error.

The description for the Tractor Beam special weapon on construction vessels reads "If a damaged wrackage is under your control". First of all, there is no such word as wrackage. It's wreckage. Secondly, it should be "a damaged wreck".

It could also be 'damaged wreckage' without the a.

Wreckage wouldn't be a whole ship. A whole ship that's wrecked is a wreck. Wreckage is only pieces of a wrecked ship.

Internet dictionary just says it's something damaged or destroyed, though the describtion of wreck includes 'breaking up'.

Usually when a ship is a wreck, it is damaged, but intact. When it's battered to wreckage, only broken pieces remain. It's a matter of usage.

the ablative armour passive mentions that the vessel has a weakness vs long range, but turrets arent vessels. maybe vessel should be replaced with unit.

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet but for the warpin message shouldn't it say Starfleet has granted you a/an class starship instead of grants you?

Grants you is fine as you are currently getting the ships as the line comes up.
