im reading the manual jsut to see if i missed anything, then i noticed this error in chapter 5.7.1, ship systems:
"Cloak
Faction: K'Luth
Replacements: Chitinous (Defensive Systems 3.3.1 Armor) "
and vice versa for chit, it says replaces cloak. of course chit replaces AHR and vice versa, hope this will b changed.
Good work rewriting the manual btw, kudos! hope this helps making it flawless

speaking of the manual, further down where it describes the factions of ds, there are positive mentions of UGTO developing super fighters, and kluth developing super stealth...
And all it says about icc in regard, is that their pulse beams are going to be less effective...
Something positive here instead of impending doom pls

Thanks.

6.1 Jump Drives
"Every ship in DarkSpace have a Jump Drive... "
of course should be HAS instead of HAVE
also in same section:
"It is extremely important, however, that you be careful to know where you are jumping, as carelessness can send your vessel hurtling into the solid core of a gas giant or through the destructively searing corona of a star."
that you be > that you are.
hurtling > hurling
6.2 "...no matter what color your jump line is. "
i thought this was colour, not color...then again http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color
6.2.1 Advanced Plotting
subchapters are only used when there are more then 1. else it looks...strange. removal of this text: 6.2.1 Advanced Plotting makes the chapter 6.2 still readable. same goes for other subchapters in chapter 6
in subchapter 6.2.1: "... as you will discover AS you play more and more into the game. "
2x as, maybe make it "...as you will discover WHEN you play more and more..."

6.3 Jumping
"The only requirements to start a jump are that your ship's bow BE facing the jump target "
bow be facing? maybe make that "bow is facing".
also "the ONLY requirements" gets followed by 4 or 5 requirements...maybe scrap the word "only"
