The issues below don't appear to cause any in game issues but I wanted to point them out if not already known.

Missing sounddata entries

PlayerTec.entity, PlayerPsi.entity, PlayerPhase.entity
GameEventSound:CannonUnderConstruction "UI_COMMON_CANNONBUILT"

AbilityGravityWarhead.entity
sound "GENERIC_WEAPONFIRE" (is missing from Vanilla also)

AbilityChargedMissiles.entity, AbilityChargedMissilesLight.entity,AbilityPhaseCloak.entity
soundID "EFFECT_PhaseCloak" (is missing from Vanilla also)

Miss-spelled effects due to capitalization (doesn't appear to matter in windows, was just an obvious type mis-match)

AbilityMeteorStrikeShips.entity (actual file named Ability_MeteorStorm_Self.particle)
smallEffectName "Ability_MeteorStorm_self"
largeEffectName "Ability_MeteorStorm_self"

BuffFarSight.entity (actual file named CapitalBuff_FarSight)
smallEffectName "CapitalBuff_Farsight"
largeEffectName "CapitalBuff_Farsight"

BuffPhaseGateStarBaseSelf.entity (actual file named Ability_PhaseGateStarbase-Buff)
smallEffectName "Ability_PhaseGateStarBase-Buff".
largeEffectName "Ability_PhaseGateStarBase-Buff".

These were missing from Org Sins and Ent SoundEffects.sounddata and updated the Count +4 on each. I kept them at the top of the file for easy comparing.

Quoting ZombiesRus5,
Also missing a string entry for:

counterDescriptionStringID "IDS_FRIGATE_TURRETCOMBAT_COUNTERDESC"

This is the Sova's Missle Platform. Need a good "Strong vs ????" quote. Same as LRF maybe? Or

StringInfo ID "IDS_FRIGATE_TURRETCOMBAT_COUNTERDESC"

 Value "Strong vs. Ironclad."

This is not a build-able unit from selecting which means this will not be seen so I suggest change it to anything else as it will not be viewed but still has a valid reference in FrigateCombatTurret.entity 

counterDescriptionStringID "IDS_FRIGATE_TURRETCOMBAT_COUNTERDESC"

-->

counterDescriptionStringID "IDS_COUNTERDESC_FRIGATE_HEAVY"

"Strong vs. antifighter frigates, long range frigates, siege frigates, carrier cruisers and utility cruisers, and capital ships."

Search counterDescriptionStringID "" (0 hits in 0 files) though to change to this but no other file uses
