no, uncolonized = uncolonised. You guys in the colonies ought to know that=-)
Bah, like England isn't a colony herself. Granted, that's a colony that went loose a few centuries ago and that worked up a lot of mischief. Still, you owe us allegiance, obedience, submission, respect and so on and so forth. Trust me on that one.

LOL! You're right, of course. Apt that a frenchman should dive into this particular discussion: The reason the brits use -ise at the end of verbs like "colonise" and the yanks use -ize is that the -ize was the original spelling, and the americans took it over the pond four score and quite a lot more years ago, there to nurture and preserve certain archaic sillinesses while at the same time inventing lots of stupid new words like "incentivize". Us Brits however, left within sniffing distance of our dear and beloved neighbours the French, started to pick up their habits and began using -ise in imitation of all their -iser verbs. So there you go, once again we can blame everything on the french=-)

Something actually productive: there is an extra "you" near the end of the text (last paragraph but one)

Fixed, ta.

You may want to add that supplies are irrelevant for remote-mining, even when used on ships. It will drain supplies from the vessel, but not having any supply does not prevent remote-mining from working.
Done.

There was definitely a problem at one point where remote mining income wasn't showing up on the income screen. Whether it's been fixed or not I couldn't tell you.

Actually, I could. According to SE4's version history, it was never fixed. But then again, it doesn't appear to have been reported, so maybe I'm dreaming the whole thing. Does anyone else remember a remote-mining-income-not-reported bug or am I hallucinating again?
