I'd like to tackle two pet peeves I have.

1. Sapient vs. Sentient

In quite a few places sentient is used as having the same meaning as sapient, this is false.

sentient (comparative more sentient, superlative most sentient)

  1. Conscious or self-aware.
  2. Experiencing sensation, thinking, thought, or feeling.
  3. (chiefly in science fiction) Possessing human-like knowledge and intelligence.

sapient (comparative more sapient, superlative most sapient)

  1. (now literary or ironic) Possessing wisdom and discernment; wise, learned.
  2. (chiefly science fiction) Possessing intelligence and self-awareness.
A dog is sentient, a human is sapient.
 
2. All instances of the word race should be replaced with specie, faction or civilization. The Altarian tech tree has "lesser races" far too often.

Done. If there are any files you guys want me to double-check tell me. Also inform me when I can star removing these from Pastebin, I exceeded my limit of unlisted pastes and had to make a few of the last ones public.
