Upon clicking the "Continue" button after not reading the below text, the mission stops, meaning nothing happens, no orders, nothing. I have to abort and retake the mission. Another player reported a similar situation when the mission explained the radars.

"This is your mission log, where you can see relevant mission updates and the current set of mission Objectives. The bouncing \"m\" on your ship flight display indicates a new update. You can both open and close this display with \"m\", and you can always use \"Esc\" to return to the flight display."

Also, the very first apparent bug is the very first welcome window with the "OK" button to click on with the preceding window highlighting the "Ship" tab. Clicking the "ship" tab makes the welcome window with the "OK" button requiring me to click the same thing a second time and then I have to click the "Ship" tab a second time to proceed with the tutorial.

The last bug I pointed out is minor but it severely interrupts the player's experience with the game pointing out bugs from the start. The first mentioned bug is a near show stopper and needs fixing.

Ah, if you press the "Continue" button sooner than 8 seconds after it is displayed, then it stops working.

As for the Welcome OK window, I was unable to duplicate your problem.

Well, it happens every time I make a new character. Not much else I can say.

EDIT: Conflicting with a plugin...

Thanks for the heads-up. I fixed the 8-second problem and pushed out updated versions of the missions.

Another reported 'bug' if you care to call it that, I would call it a 'feature' in a way.

The Basic Flight Test mission for a player sent him/her/it to a sector in Dau which contained a static Hive Queen plus escort.

I think the mission didn't proceed properly there after, they aborted and retook the mission.

Was happening every time I made a new character as well. which plugin was the problem?
