After the Fierce Rock Pirates successfully raided Ombara 2, the following message was displayed:

Which for one thing doesn’t make a lot of sense: how do you loot an “understanding of something”? You can loot plans, books, documents, etc. But looting an “understanding”?

At the very least, “improved” should be removed, as in “(...) they looted the following: our understanding of Basic Colonization”. As it is now, the message says that “they looted improved our understanding of Basic Colonization”. Read that out-loud and you’ll see how weird it is.
