One of the big hurdles is that some of the upgrade paths are less than clear. For the new player there are so many tabs and options to upgrade things...and you keep getting errors need more research, but the research is spread across many different screens. You have Cultural vs Military vs Logistics Once you get the hang of it, everything makes sense, but it isn't very intuitive at times. Its especially confusing that new ship types are mixed right in tehre with weapon upgra

Why this comes up every month or so for every space game is beyond me, but lets go through this again :D When you play a game on your 2D monitor, adding the 3rd dimension creates many more gameplay issues than it could ever hope to solve. Considering that there is no inherent advantage to being 'above' or 'below' someone in space, there is no real benefit to moving up and down except to get out of the way or get a clear shot past an obstical...which the game does for you.

An option to change the FONT Im not sure how the font was chosen, but its hard to read. There comes a point where style gets in the way of function...and the FONT is an example of this. I notice we dont have to suffer with the same font here on the message board :)

One thing to remember is that strategy guides are a waste of time for a living breathing game like SINS. Gameplay will be tweaked and adjusted so that any printed guide will invariably get dated rather quickly. Just look at the changes from 1.01 to 1.02 with clarvoyance, guidance and gravity warhead to name a few. Sure, eventually a baseline will emerge, but by then we'll be looking to play SINS ][, ashes of an Empire or whatever. I do however feel that the tutorials w
