First Impressions - First 30 minutes

1. Installation was very easy and fast. I like the autoupdate feature.

2. Read the readme file. Where is the manual? Checked the installation folder. No manual? Clicked on the link to the Pandora site. Still no obvious manual. Spent 10 minutes looking around. Still cannot find a manual. This is a waste of my time. The manual should have installed with the game, or at least have included an obvious link.

3. Launched the game. Easy and fast to launch. Splash screen was beautiful. I don't like that I cannot clink to advance the starting sequence. Dialogs do not default to ENTER being the same as OK.

4. Picked a starting faction, easy enough.

5. Trying to move units. Very frustrating! Keypad does nothing! Arrow keys do nothing! Mouse does nothing! I guess I will have to keep searching for a manual before I can make my very first move!

This beta test is not off to a very good start, and it is mostly because the manual was not installed with the game!!!

For those who had trouble figuring out how to move, you first click on the unit to move, then right-click the destination square (or hexagon). None of the standard hotkeys for movement work, nor does dragging.

I still have not found any trace of documentation.

Not sure where to post it, so here it goes: there is an error in the description of the Xenomorph Queen, nothing major but there you go.

If you go through the tips at the top of the screen they explain how to move units. A manual will be included with the final game.

There are no tips at the top of the screen.
