We should talk to these guys.

Nope. We need an Oolite driver for THIS. And a facility to exchange Credits for Euros...

Sorry for the delay in fixing this, had to RTFM on how to do it first

Seriously, a 'mission screen' (or two) that can be shown instead of 'load saved commander Y/N' if the save-game directory is empty wouldn't be too bad an idea.

We could have a very much pared down version of the readme, something like:

arrow keys: control craft
a: fire laser
w: go faster
s: go slower

1: leave the station, start flying!
2: save / load game, game settings

5-8: special screens, press twice to see more

shift-q: leave game

You can only save your game inside main stations, look at ReadMe.doc for much more info.

Or add controls as an option inthe pause screen or is it already there. Am away from my laptop at moment

Good idea. Now if only Acornsoft had done that all those years ago…
