Where is the ingame tutorial? When I go to "Simulations", all I get is a combat Test and I've no idea how to play that. The manual says there are training tutorials. Where are they?

All we need now is an X3 version of the excellent capital ship guide that Tsar_of_Cows did for X2 (I think it was him at least..)

I was reading the X3 manual today and wanted to throw it across the room several times when I came up with this idea. I think a great community project would be to write the 'manual that should have come in the box'.

Not being too familiar with the X universe (though I own each-and-every game in the series), I cannot provide too much content generation. However, I would be happy to provide editing, spellchecking, and other such services.

What does everyone think? I think it would be nice to have a great, community-supported manual for X3.

Spreadsheet (in OOo format, that's http://www.openoffice.org for those of you who don't know) showing products and in what sectors they are sold.

http://klaatu.sent.com/x3/ProductBuyLocations.ods

Enjoy, and let me know if you find an error or omission.

EDIT: Updated 11/29. Now includes 3 lists:

1. Products being produced in each sector
2. Products carried by Equipment Docks in each sector
3. Products carried by the Trading Station in each sector

You mean pages 1 to 17 are not accurate enough.

I found no problems with pages 17 to 84, which is the bulk of the manual. The first job of any manual is to tell the reader an feature exists. Until they know they can do something, they do not know what questions to ask.

I think the manual did a great job on these area even of a few descriptions are off a little.
