Hi,
After some initial play-throughs of the tutorials and first mission, I've come across the following:
Combat Tutorial:
a) The tutorial tells me Shift-3 autofires, but I can't see it doing anything. I still have to manually target with my mouse. The box next to the word "autofire" flashes but thats it.
On my THIRD play through of the combat tutorial they actually autofired as I'd expect, though the info box is identical.
Fleet tutorial
b) I'm playing 1024*768 windowed (so I can write this at the same time).
I've just deployed my drone wing and been told to assign orders. I move my mouse and and pan it over the fighter icons. Up pops a nice page full of information and stats about the fighters, BUT, much of this information is off-screen (to the right), at least when I enter the fighter-box from the right side.
c) After completion of the tutorial I stuck around and gave orders to capture the Nav Buoy Alpha that had appeared. This was assigned to the hammerhead. Fine. Except it never actioned them. There was no movement on its part (the game wasn't paused). I believe this is because the ship needed to be set to "autopilot", but I put it to you that if I am giving the ship orders I clearly want it to autopilot and shouldn't need to manually set that order.
d) If i give my command ship "autopilot" orders, the "autopilot" order does not grey out. This means I can give it the order multiple times. Not sure what the effect of this is, but I'd expect the order to grey out if autopilot is active.
e) For some reason pressing "+" results in it going to the map page (despite not being on the "controls" list).
f) As noted, the game is windowed (Windows 7 64bit). I'm at the main menu and click the windows "x" icon which typically closes a window. But this doesn't do anything!
