 The warning messages are a very great help. Especially for low altitude & high cabin temperature - which can easily prove fatal since one does not usually keep one's eye on the altimeter or cabin temperature gauges! The others (shields, energy banks, incoming missile) are useful too.
 The Vimana overrides is a minor [[Cheating|cheat]] oxp, and the Vimana Beam Laser is also a cheat.
