Did you know....

[[DW]Entropy]

I was reading through some of the newer threads on these forums and noticed a lot of problems that occur are due to new players not being made aware of certain aspects of the game. Now while a lot of the game can be picked up fairly easily, aspects of mining and research trees, other areas aren't so obvious.

I would propose new functionality added to the game so that when you logged in you were presented with a "Did you know" pop up. This pop up would have more in depth hints and tips about the game which new players might be oblivious to. Examples would be

Did you know...Putting your fleet into prelaunch allows it to stay at your planet and not take part in combat

Did you know...The Cathaar beetle fires before the Phantom, making it ideal defense against Xan fighter fleets - (not exact but trying to convey the point)

Did you know...Repeated successful covert operations on other planets grants you a cumulative bonus


Stuff like that. This function could be disabled by a tick box "Never show this again".

Thoughts?
