Hello,
I loaded the game in lowest settings first run ( 640x480) And the tutorial text was almost unreadable.

{* Bug or function ? *

I noticed that when i'm using the burst (tab) I can move my aim but it will just shoot forward is this correct?
Because i would think while bursting you should be able to aim and shoot.}

Besides that its looking very promising.

Yes, that's a feature... While turboing, your weapons are aimed in the direction of the turbo.

manual is updated, yes?
otherwise you can just look at the old manual on this site... it explains the basics. probably doesn't have navigation system in there yet.

800x600 is the lowest recommended resolution.

You cannot rotate your ship while turboing (bursting).

I noticed this too... Kinda disconcerting at first, but makes sense on reflection.

This feature (of locking direction during boost) is extremely useful in melee combat situations, allowing you to boost quick out of line-of-fire whilst simultaneously scanning the surroundings without changing course... I can't live without it! ;-)

It should be pointed out that the feature Icarus refers to (scanning whilst boosting) is only possible when using mouselook. If you use a joystick, you either have to switch to mouselook <;> or you are out of luck.

It should also be pointed out that Icarus is one of our more active player combat enthusiasts. You have been warned.
:-)

No, you got it all wrong... I'm a peaceful trader...
