I need just two more things and it's finished.
1) Can someone give me the length x width x height of the Escape Pod.
2) Can someone supply me with an image of the Quirium Cascade Mine, even if it's a screen shot.
Some more typos (I think I missed some of these earlier, for which my apologies!). I've also suggested a few rewordings, mostly on page 2 (shields, laser temperature, altitude, missiles, energy banks).

Now for the difficult part, porting it over to Microsoft Office. I generally don't have an issue with MS software, but Office has always been pain. I'm going to have to rebuild the document from scratch because Office gets so prissy over any file it didn't create (including ones from previous versions of Office. )
When it's finished I'll upload it to the command team for their use and stick the source material on a file site so anyone can use it. In that vain can anyone recommend a long term file storage site. I do have web space, but that's currently empty as I get ready my writing and card/dice game projects website.
Last but not least, Many thanks to the commanders for their error catching and technical support, especially you Disembodied. I've noted your assistance as the editor on the sheets as a thank you.
Hi KZ9999, thanks. Only a few more typos! (and one or two rewording suggestions).

Equipment Guide
Should "Twin Plasma Cannon" be listed? I've never seen these for sale in the basic game. It might also be worth noting that "OXPs may add extra equipment to install. See the OXP read-me for more information." (as per "Missiles", p2)

Ok Folks for your reading pleasure I am proud to present the Oolite Reference Sheets, final version.
After having to muscle Microsoft Word 2007 in to accepting the original files. (Not just turning the air blue,but right up to the Ultraviolet, in the process.) I've taken the opportunity to do a bit of a design re jig of the earlier version and smooth out some of the kinks. On the down side, the file now 970 Kb in size because I've had to use png's instead of vector files for the art. Still, only a <50% size increase for the additional information is a good trade off.
Once again Disembodied, thanks for all the help in bug stomping, plus the other checker.
I'm going to have to rebuild the document from scratch because Office gets so prissy over any file it didn't create (including ones from previous versions of Office.
