Ok, having just installed and started this game, I have to agree here. Now, bear in mind, I've played hours upon hours of similar games... Master of Orion, Spaceward Ho!, Stars, Space Empires, Endless Space, etc, etc. I'm not unfamiliar with the basics of this type of game. Not only does the first Tutorial NOT show you how to actually build a space port, even when I found a way to do so, I only have 1 option to build, the Medium Space Port. Why can't I build the Small or Large one, both of which are listed in the starting design list? If there are additional steps needed to make those available, then the tutorial should probably be pointing them out. Maybe this is covered in the Ships and Bases tutorial later? If so, why am I even given the option to "Play" if I don't have enough information to complete the most basic step of the game? Are these tutorials only supposed to be "read" and not "played"? If so, I am not sure I understand the point of having them in-game versus just being entries in the Galactopedia. It's nice that there is zooming and panning to show the environment, but the tutorial should be showing people how to use the UI, which is obviously where most of the complexity resides. Anyhow, back to the tutorials for now to start climbing that learning curve. EDIT: Ok tutorial 2 covers much of the basics of the UI. I am still confused by the option to "Play" in these first few Tutorials. I am still not sure how to build the small base instead of the medium one.
