Suggestion: Lander tutorials?

from StarControl Forums

On the second day of playing, I only found out by accident that the SHIFT key on the lander actually boosts it.

 

I wish there was a tutorial or something when you first jump in (unless I missed it).  Also had to figure out that you can crash the lander on entry.  I wasted 2 landers before figuring that some planets are harder to land on than others.  At least I got the "Face Plant" achievement :-D

I know from being a beta tester that they've put a lot of work into helping the new players learn the basics, but I agree with you that there are some things that are rather opaque. Some of those you can learn by viewing the key mappings in the settings.  Others (like the fact that F4 does a quicksave) are missing altogether.
