Its soooo good to see that this is the most important issue you guys could come up with :D This topic is getting bumped all the time and when i look into issues and workarounds theres really not many new topics about the bugs, like it was with trinity but i see this one on top every time. Good job ccp :) We all know that typo was intentional :)

Native speaker, old, english degree. Only one word is missing from the following sentence.
... WILL RESULT IN YOUR BEING ATTACKED by the powerful navies of that faction
Ass. The missing word is "ass". The sentence should read:
Entering enemy-controlled high-security space WILL RESULT IN YOUR ASS BEING ATTACKED by the powerful navies of that faction

I second that the sentence is wrong. Its a shame for those who say they are native speakers of English and yet fail to see it is wrong.
Points to Consider:
1. YOUR is possessive and must be preceded by a DIRECT OBJECT. It is different from YOURS, which is non-possessive.
2. YOUR SHIP is correct and should be put in. Otherwise, YOUR should be replaced with YOU.
3. Spoken English is different with written English. Just because it can be understood when spoken does not mean it is written correctly. Me Tarzan, you Jane.

Well, that's almost right: 2 words missing, actually : "SILLY ASS" being attacked.
