Unfortunately I have to add the manual to the "not so good" Category. It's OK for newbies but worthless for veterans which I would think are mostly the people buying Gold. The Index is full of references to pages that don't exist. Must be the manual was shortened at the Last minute to cut costs.

Re: Gold Version - First Look
Hey,
I finally opened the manual and found the REBATE COUPON!!!
I guess it's good for something.

Just if you are owner of SE4 (non-Gold). |

Re: Gold Version - First Look
I'm tempted by the mods. I figure I'll play unmodded for awhile, let the novelty wear off and thens start adding the mods to reintroduce some newness into the game. I couldn't wait to add the ST races. I copied the Klingon logo from BOTF though and updated the system name text file to include names from the series. Maybe I'll update the screen bitmaps to be more TNG-ish? Qa'plaH!

Re: Gold Version - First Look
No the manual was not cut down, in fact we inflated it with several things to reach the 120 page margin. The index appears to have some incorrect info in it however.

Fair enough. I stand corrected. Sorry for the negative comments on the manual but as a long time player of SE IV it was a disappointment to me. However many other aspects of the package, such as the additional bug fixes and Mods were welcome.

Re: Gold Version - First Look
I found the manual to be satisfactory. But having already played the Gold demo, and done the tutorial there, I really didn't need the manual for much of anything. But I do know what you mean: some things weren't covered in the paper manual, but are covered in the Online game manual, which I am finding more useful.
I think I will learn a lot more about the game just reading through the .txt files than from any manual anyhow.
