Regretably SS suffers from a major problem that hopefully has been covered for SSE, namely that the manuals are very narrow in their content. Like CaptainTom I had to find out by trial and error and more often by luck how to 'operate' various features. The 'manuals' and/or a 'help' facility should be included in the main drop down menu when the game first starts up, I did not know that the manual had to be accessed by interrogating the 'C' drive until someone told me when I tried as a last resort the forum!! There are at present no instructions on how to moor/unmoor the vessels, how to change the viewpoint (click on the right mouse button Captain Tom and move the mouse around), how to use the crane controls and one I am STILL trying to figure out - the walkthrough!! No doubt there are others which I haven't even found yet, but it does detract from the game. It is matters like this which will hit sales as customers won't part with their hard earned loot for SSE if they can't get the full enjoyment of the game. As I said at the start, I hope these matters have been addressed for SSE.
