I just downloaded this game this morning.  It's neat, but the starting and low-grade combat equipment seem a bit useless - you can't really face off against anything with them, unless you're pretty lucky.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

early on your best bet is to get recources from barren planets and stay away from most unique planets, but some are '%100 good'.

Edit: Suggestion: What about having certain companies pay more for different data, for example, smith mining co. will pay more for metal,and Bubba Bio-engeneering will pay more for bio data.

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

Uhm yeah they do pay different prices. Thats why they have names :)
Is that doc worthy information? I thought it was a neat little thing to find out. (and not too hard to find out either)

But you are of course right that somebody should do something about the documentation *looks around* what? me? ah well... guess i have to :)

Anyway:
@legolord: you do make sure that you have as many weapons as you have crew members? Of course a plasma rifle packs more punch than a knife, but i wouldn't call the knife useless (If you got enough of them)

@x2yzh9
I actually tried reproducing the reproductive behaviour of my sick crew members and failed (so far) (I did add some extra "check if that is actually a sick person" code, so might be even possible i fixed it)
But usually after deeming something ready for release without too much embaressement for myself i let it sit for a day or two. So i am aiming for wendsday right now.

You switched it back? YAY!

I found the power difference a bit insane!

Guy 1:"My Gun can shoot through a solid kilometer of obsideon in a single shot"
Guy 2: "My Gun shoots energy bolts as hot as the surface of the sun rapid fire!"
Guy 3: "Ohh yeah? Well my weapon is melee!"
Guy 1: "Dang, well you win. You could take down an army with those things"
Guy 2: "Just please be careful"
Guy 3: "I know what you mean, I dropped it on the floor and I took down a planet. It defies physics"

Embarrassment? You are among friends here. If anything it will help you catch bugs sooner rather than later.

Instructions should list EVERYTHING about the game that isn't 'secret' to avoid complaints/useless suggestions that are already implemented.

bug time!
1. Sometimes in combat the sound of enemy firing (at least from fighters) will loop instead of ending. It will persist out of combat too! ( my guess is it happens if you skip the message before the sound effect stops playing).
2.
Spoiler: I don't think this was in the game before (click to show/hide)
3. It might be possible to buy sensors not intended for your ship. or maybe it's just the heavy transport...
