Generally speaking we do that in headers only, and not in content. Where are you seeing this that is not a header?

Mainly in the results of combat and actions, where there's really no reason to have sentences in all caps. "Will Help Acutian Research Matter Transmission And Get A Copy For Yourself", "Base Credit Costs When Negotiating With CEOs By Industry", "Credit Gained By Destroying Enemy Ships", "Will Build 5 Of Terraforming Kit: Boarine On Linos From Technical Specs You Provided" and such.

I certainly don't disagree that they're sometimes the "correct" way of doing things, but I feel you've gone just a little bit overboard with it. Especially when contrasted with the completely normal "Succeed or fail, completing this action will take X solar months" that sits in the same numbered list with some of them.

Ah yes! You know, that has been annoying me actually, and I had not even really consciously registered it. But now that you mention it, it's like "aha, you know, that's been bugging me at the back of my mind, too!" Good call, thanks. :)

Thanks!

* Updated the consequence prediction and result text in the game to not use annoying capitalization (Ctrl+U in Visual Studio is an amazing thing).
