1.When I purchase equipment for my ship, a pop-up appears asking me if I want to install the equipment. I select yes, but instead of installing it, the game places it in my hold. So of course on my first mission I lost out on some loot because I thought my tractor beam was installed. What you need to do is manually install it after buying. So, I'm assuming this is a bug.

2.When I accepted a mission from the mission board, it does not show up as an "!" on my map. My primary story mission displays, but not the mission board mission. fyi it was the "easy kill" (I think) mission where you need to kill an injured bandit ship.

3.This game needs a manual...
