"You can press the ** key to auto-complete names of players you've seen."
(** missing the word "tab" here..)

Proximity Indicator: It is never specified what constitutes an "object" that you have to be 3000m from before jumping (roids, stations, not ships, etc.)

6) In general, "hud" and "HUD" are used interchangeably. I think HUD is better, since it's an acronym..

"The Equipment window shows ..... the currently-selected weapons will be highlighted. (details)**"

I guess I really need to install a program with a spell checker. :) Interestingly, many of those typos were copied and pasted from the old manual.

In any case, it's been updated. Thanks!

Just shows that not many read the old manual very closely.. Makes sense, since we all sort of "grew into" the game from its infancy. Hopefully that's a good sign that most people will be able to adapt to the forthcoming changes.

It's a good manual. It will be nice to say "Go read the manual" to answer the 4 millionth repetition of "How do I dock?","Where are the bots?", etc.

...The Sell menu will let you sell anything in the station's cargo hold, including your ship, provided the ship's cargo **(hold) is empty and no addons are attached.

...When docked with a station, you can repair your ship, *replentish*(replenish) ammunition, attach or detach equipment from your ship*,*(and) configure your ship's weapon groups.
