The new site is very nice! :)
I suggest in the right side of main page to extend the list of Latest Expansion Releases to contain 10 updated oxzs, and put a "more" link after to the full list.

There are now almost two hundred expansion packs ready to download
This needs to be changed to "over two hundred expansion packs".. :wink:

if you have installed a replacement shipset OXP (i.e. an OXP which replaces the look of the default Oolite ships including the Cobra on the start screen) then you should install the Shipset Compatibility OXP from the 'Miscellaneous' section of the expansion pack manager.
Should say OXZ, not OXP.

If there are no other ships about your status light will be green
Needs a comma inserted so that it reads:

<chortles> Top-flight proof-reading, Diz - well done!
