Serco should have a big frowny face looking glyph!

the manual is up to date, but still needs a tiny kick in the pants, I'll look it over if I have the timeskies

Okay. Let's come up with glyphs for Itani and Serco.

I like the idea of a sword for the Serko.

Itani's symbol should be a stick figure running away.

I just looked it over, and it seems fine to me. I didn't notice any grammatical problems... However, it consistently refers to batteries as powercells, which may be confusing. Also, it would be helpful if price were shown in the ship listings. A listing of the specs for each weapon, engine, and battery would be nice, too...

'Users may also collect scrap cargo from killed AI characters and sell them anywhere for a fixed price** to make a few quick credits.'

** the ai cargo isnt set to a fixed price that i was aware of
(at least at time i read the manual it varied)

not majorly big one - i thought maybe if anyone else spots things they could add them here for a change at a convenient point later to be made



(Manual - Basic Gameplay - 3rd para - bottom sentence)

There are also lot of grammatical errors and unnecessarily wordy sentences. It needs a bit of proofreading.

Also, the words for "Itani" and "Serco" are missing from the GTS translation.

a1k0n, I'd be happy to proofread the manual for you guys after finals are over (this coming week is finals week).

If you look at the sector billboards, "Itani" and "Serco" are spelled phonetically. "Neutral" is an actual word, so it gets its own glyph.

Yes, but given that Itani and Serco are the two major nations, wouldn't it make sense for the language to have unique symbols for them?
