All I see is an empty box when looking up a Base Facility. The Secret Project blurbs display just fine.
Not that this affects gameplay at all, but these texts are fun.

Hmm. In the datalinks? When they're built? Might be a bunk install, but give me some more details.

I'm talking about the lower center window in the Datalinks screen - the one that displays various quotes from faction leaders, etc., when looking up tech advances, faction profiles, and secret projects.
The blurbs.txt file contains a bunch of material that should be going in that window when looking up the entry for a base facility. For instance, the entry for Headquarters is Lady Deirdre's memoir of the day the Gaians took Sparta Command. But the window remains blank. (I've been reading the text files, which is the only way to see this stuff at the moment.)
