Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
The text of the Modular Fleet card is wrong, it says "Choose one of the following", when it should be "Build up to 3 different ships". It actually works like that, letting you build 1 to 3 ships, but the description, and all translations, are going to be wrong.

Report history
You can see the English tooltip doesnt match the actual text of the card in reality.
Tooltips are not intended to match card text exactly; they have been designed to reduce the effort required to localize the game.
Not sure if there is a more localizable way to describe that but again, right now the text doesnt match the actual action you can do.
The actual french translation of that tooltip tells to pick only one of those elements.

According to BGG forum, it seems that this problem also occur in german translation

The string should be changed to the real card description (or at least a most accurate description)
"Choose any of the following" <- actual card tooltip (not even shorter)
"Build up to 3 different ships" <- card description (in physical game)
Is it really OK for me to translate it as in the card text in spite of the english reusable prompt saying something else? Won't it be detrimental to the prompt reusability in the future?
Thanks :-)
