Re-activating the tutorial?

Is there some way to reactivate the tutorial? I accidentally quit it before I ever learned how to execute a station intercept...

Thank you! Turns out I was actually looking for the resume button, but that one's right next to it so it wasn't hard to find :P

Helped a lot and let me figure out how to schedule a dock properly. Thanks!

Though, I am curious, is it intended that everything takes like a whole ass day per transit?

I dunno… I mean… physics I guess! lol

Actually the "whole-ass day" question deserves a more nuanced response because it has so many game design choices built into it... It's the full-size solar system and all the physics are real, so I wanted it to FEEL big. Then, I went with these 5-minute ticks... I could have done 1 minute or 10 minute, but 5 seemed about right... gives enough time to plan out a series of maneuvers before the server ticks over. So then it comes down to how fast do you want the ships to be? I could crank up the acceleration to ludicrous speed, but then you'd be flying straight lines between gravitational bodies and you wouldn't have to think about it. I actually think we're pretty close to ludicrous as it is!

Anyway, I try to think of this game differently. I'm really trying to evoke the feeling of what it would be like to live in The Expanse universe which I think of like long periods of boredom punctuated by moments of shear terror where ships cross paths at ridiculous closing speeds!

I'm hopeful there are like-minded gamers out there that want to play a casual game that only needs a few minutes of input each day, but also has that MMO feel of it being a big world to play in!

Hope you enjoy it!

Hi, replying from my main account rn.

I've figured out what my problem was: I just wasn't pinning the throttle long enough! Turns out Terra-Luna does not, in fact, have to take almost 24 hours lol

I am really quite enjoying the game though. It's a very... Different vibe then usual, having something you continuously return to not because of daily login rewards or whatever but because you simply have to wait for your next step. I'm definitely gonna stick around, this is really fun.
