I just ran through the tutorial mission (for those of you that don't know about it, you need to start an unplayed character to see it) and I found some bugs.

0. New characters start in physics mode. This isn't really a problem with the tutorial, but it's still a bad idea.

1. When you're first flying around, the computer tells you to dock by saying "When prompted, press the Activate Key (enter) to dock". However, you can't see the "Press Activate to Dock" message when you're in mission computer view.

2. The inability to scroll up in space without going to the navcomputer is rather annoying. I got octree-spammed and I couldn't see what it wanted anymore.

3. I know this is just the beginning, but I think newbies should get SOMETHING in the way of rewards for completing the mission. Just a thought.

4. The mission doesn't come up automatically. The way it is now, the newbie needs to go to the "Missions" tab and select it. Not ideal.

5. Even though it goes away, the Tutorial mission doesn't count as a completeted mission.

6. There's no mention of turbo anywhere in the tutorial.

Anyhow, good start devs!

perhaps just enough credits to buy a ec-98? to get them used to buying/equiping ships.

Heh, woops, I missed this thread somehow.

Good suggestions, I'll make sure they're all dealt with. (Except number 0, your flight mode is the same for all your characters. It defaults to arcade mode on a new install.) (Or it should anyway.)

Waylon, you did look at the thread listing the various typos in the game, right?
