I know I'm new to the wiki, so forgive me if I seem blunt, but if I were to buy a boxed copy of the game, and read this article as the game manual, I might be sorely disappointed. As articles go, its a good tutorial, but it doesn't pass the test of being a game manual. Its too soft focus on the interface, an area I have been editing under the different buildings that have menus in the last couple days. I plan to add a section to this page with a more detailed overview of the game interface, before the reader gets all starry eyed over free return trajectories and higher order math.
