How To Play

This walkthrough is very basic, and does not end well, like many other parts of the current alpha.

When you run the game you should see a screen like this:

This is the main menu. Click the "Start New Game" button. You will then see:

This is the game setup screen, which is very similar to the lobby in the first game, except it's closer to the actual game and thus easier to maintain for us and it's kinda cool to go zooming around the galaxy map you're abou to get splattered all over.

Click the "Start Game" button, which basically just "unpauses" what's already on your screen and brings you in to view your Ark.

This is the planet view screen, centered on your Ark. Note that it is already set up to produce your triangle (Fighter, Bomber, and Missile Frigate) ships. You'll need them to defend yourself, as even your "starting planet" is AI-controlled at first.

Later on we may have it not start off automatically producing stuff, so that new players don't get too far into the game without knowing how to set up a build queue, but we'll see what the best way is later.

Click the "Select All Mobile Military" button (if your screen is small enough, as in this test case, not all the text fits).
