JohnPCAE Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The overlays are (almost) missing. There's one Hard Hat overlay and no Space Cadet overlays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Damned factory quality control! haha Keep them as-is, probably going to be worth more to somebody since you ended up with a couple of variants there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric7100 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Got mine today too. Nothing missing, but I did point out one grammatical error to Rev. On Space Cadet, it should be enemies' planet, not enemies planet. Really like the cool-blue matching colors, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric7100 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 No, actually it should read "enemy's planet" Not if there is more than one enemy. If it is a group of enemies owning the planet, then it should be enemies' planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Enemy can be a collective entity composed of enemies. It depends on whether it's referring to the planet of the enemies or of 'the enemy'. I'm guessing the latter, so enemy's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SoulBuster Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) No, actually it should read "enemy's planet" Not if there is more than one enemy. If it is a group of enemies owning the planet, then it should be enemies' planet. If you have enemy group A AND enemy group B and they both own the planet, the correct spelling is enemies'. Multiple enemy groups own it. if only enemy group A OR enemy group B own the planet alone it would be enemy's. A single enemy group owns it.

Multiple enemy groups own it. if only enemy group A OR enemy group B own the planet alone it would be enemy's. A single enemy group owns it. But an enemy group could still be thought of as multiple enemies. It would still be proper to say enemies' planet. It is THEIR (that group's) planet.

carlsson Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Wouldn't it be enemies' planet only if group A and B normally fight eachother for superiority on the same planet, until you came there interupting their little war? If they normally live in peaceful co-existance, likely they will form one enemy to you even if they're different species. Then again in the world of sci-fi, it tends to be an anomaly of two different species living in peaceful co-existance on the same planet, so perhaps enemies' is more likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if there are more than one enemy? I hate proofing boxes. This is a good reason to continue baggie releases. No one cares about the baggie.

fsuinnc Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Not if there is more than one enemy. If it is a group of enemies owning the planet, then it should be enemies' planet. I don't have the game or manual so I don't know the entire context, but I think grammar arguments are always fun so thought I would add this. Rule 10. Beware of false possessives, which often occur with nouns ending in s. Don't add apostrophes to noun-derived adjectives ending in s. Close analysis is the best guide. Incorrect: We enjoyed the New Orleans' cuisine. In the preceding sentence, the word the makes no sense unless New Orleans is being used as an adjective to describe cuisine. In English, nouns frequently become adjectives. Adjectives rarely if ever take apostrophes. (http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/apostro.asp) So, I think if the manual says, "We died on the enemies planet." I'm not sure you need any apostrophe. Also, I know no real grammar but am a bit bored at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
