but if you need an error checker, then create one.

I find this PoV frankly, insulting to players, and indicative of the exact mindset in PBM gaming that led to its stagnation, decline, and potential failure as a mode of gaming in the modern world.

PBM interfaces were obtuse and not user-friendly in the past because it was a limitation of the medium. This limitation no longer applies.

What is the game about? Is it a game of Interstellar exploration, colonization and conquest? Or is it game about creating programs and spreadsheet to model data with a space empire theme? The latter sounds like a fun university project for data modeling or programming courses, not a game.

Unless the obtuseness is a game mechanic, it should be smoothed out as much as possible given the medium.
