		+
		+	As a brand new player, with no flight simulator experience at all, of a previous generation, with a buttload of computer and gaming experience, I have to put in my 2 ¢. A game like Oolite has a very steep learning curve, there's 3D movement, trading, combat, repair, and so on, and each of those consist of a million little details. Now, as I've passed the 50 years-old mark, learning does not come automatic to me anymore, and I don't get all the things you might find so patently obvious: I need all the help I can. I'm currently stuck in the tutorial, trying to get my ship from rolling and pitching wildly out of control, so I apply the controls to conquer that, and see no discernible change to the markers positions after I release the controls, so I hit the Web to find some help on getting my ship under control, return five minutes later, none the wiser to the game, and now the ship is rolling as speedily the other way.
		+
		+	Yes, I want a handy compilation of OXPs for the beginner, so I can more gradually get into the game, and then later remove such AddOns as I don't need or want anymore, or start a vanilla game, ''after'' I've managed to get any fun out of the game at all.
