Loading Tips

(1/4) > >>

Captain Magellan:
Just had a totally random idea. But I think it would help new guys pick up the tips and tricks if we have them periodically pop up in the loading screens. I don't know about you guys, but I learn a LOT from games with those. Seriously. They get old after awhile, but oh well. A new pilot wondering how ramming is any good reads a tip about using Moonshine to get extra angular drag so he doesn't turn too much afterwards. Tips for an engi on damage absorption using spanners and pipe wrenches to repair sometimes instead of ALWAYS using the mallet.

Erheller:
That's a good idea. This way, even the people who choose to skip the tutorial will be forced to learn a little (unless they shift-tab to read something else).

We even have a bunch of tips already in this thread!

Rainer Zu Fall:
This game needs much background information, depending on the class, ship and map you play. So if you thought about implementing those tips in the loading screen (instead of putting a small minimap and a description as well as lore there), you'd have to implement really, really much.
This can be done by either putting much informiation in each loading screen, which the players that skipped tutorial and game manual probably won't read as well, or by putting less information in there a) with lore, minimap and map objective or b) without lore, minimap or map objective. This would either take much time to learn the game by only that in b) or just be too much information in a).

Captain Magellan:
All I'm talking about is a short "Hey did you know?" at the bottom. Just put in a slightly large letters with TIP next to it and presto: noob now understands to pre-buff things.
