This is for the new guys, do you guys think the first mission of the campaign, Milk Run, worked as an effective tutorial?

Well I am not new but I just re-played it. I think it was quite engaging which is good for a tutorial.

It doesn't introduce people to modules which I think deserves a mention, but because Hestia doesn't sport modules, we can bring up the fact that the space station has a nano matrix module, and introduce what modules are and what that particular one on the space station can do and how staying near it helps.

I think you should extend Milk Run and run the player through Deflectors. The fact that you can click M to select the ship module and then click it again to switch back to the ship deserves a mention.

The second mission does that. It freezes the game and tells you about deflectors.

Yeah, but you might aswell do that in mission 1 instead, since it's sort of relevant there too.

I don't think it really is. The opposing ships are so few and weak to the point where the deflector is nearly useless. Although including a deflector tutorial in the first mission might be a bit more thorough, it may serve to somewhat overwhelm a new player with functions. It's not like deflector use is necessary for victory either.

I think 9th mission should be made to teach you new weapons and gameplay mechanics added in later versions!

Nah, that kind of stuff should just be integrated into the first mission, if at all. The 9th and 10th missions just need to be about putting the smack on Nagaya and the Nanz

9th mission should be Nagaya in giant Pac Man ship to illustrate moving parts.

10th mission should assume you DC control of a small fighter and turns into a side scroll shooter.

Yes, the pac-man ship has been most intriguing.

Wakka wakka wakka wakka wakka beeeoooooo boop boop.

Gess we need another alien race to step in. That same race Leviathan station uses.

That's been the plan all along, there's a white colour scheme defined in the .ini file.

So you actually have a plan for the rest of the Campaign!?!?!

Man I wana know who these new guys are.

It was all I needed, although I'm known for figuring out my games at an extraordinary pace. In fact, I was making ships before I played the missions.
