RE: Manuals everywhere
That's a big UI request there.  From my point of view, if you're in a match (on a ship is what you mean, right?) then I don't want you to look at a manual and debate.  I want you to play.  However, we'll take it into consideration at least on the game manual end and see where we get.  It's going to be a tough one, though.
