Must be, since dungeons don't really exist in MoP now (well they do, but few even do them anymore, no incentive...inferior gear; no valor farming and now filled with multiboxers).
So the OP can send him back to WoW, but it'll be pointless.

If you had watched the CCP twitch broadcasts, you'd know where the "dungeon" comes from. It is part of the company lingo. |

Yeah, and this is under the section where they note the changes to the layout of the new hacking sites.
There is this thing called context. 
In the context of the patch notes, it's pretty clear they're ONLY talking about stuff to look at or interact with in those sites.
If they were really adding two new ships for this, don't you think they would have written that in the part where they wrote about the new ships they actually are adding? |

Even if the word "dungeon" is not an issue, the wording of that line is still questionable.
When writing patch notes, you need to assume that it is the only source of information for someone who was not keeping up with news and does not have any background knowledge of the information. This is technical writing 101.
The most obvious way to parse that sentence is that two new ships were added to the players ship line up specifically for exploration. I am not sure if that is correct information. While it is possible that there's some surprise stuff for the expansion, the more likely scenario, given the numerous grammatical errors, unstructured bullet points, and at least 3 duplicate lines (I skipped the obvious cut and paste portions) I picked up from just a casual glance at it, I'm more inclined to believe that it is an error in the notes. |

I realize that's what it meant, but the line is still worded extremely poorly and implies something completely different than its actual meaning.

You can do 2 things to confirm this: Check how they introduce the Navy ships and check the context where the line in question was written. When they are talking about the new hacking content, and they just above (IIRC) state that other things are added/changed in the dungeons ... yeah ...
So, please go back and check it for yourself.
You really need to stretch the meaning of the sentence for it to do what you mean it does. |

Deadspace has always been known as "dungeons". CCP lets that term slip pretty often, I'd bet some of their internal tools label them that way. |
