 To use the tactical systems control console, it’s a similar practice - activate the DRADIS console nearby for a radar, then the tactical console itself, and you’ll be in business. Press Control (CTRL) to swap between weapons, but be sure to watch the tactical console window as it will show the current loading state of all weapons. It is recommended to swap to another weapon when your current one runs out of ammo to minimize time spent not firing.
-'''Torpedos:'''
+====Torpedos====
 Click in a direction to fire a torpedo. Torpedoes deal a significant amount of damage, and will automatically track and lock onto targets. Additionally, nuclear warheads can be loaded to deal a massive amount of damage but are difficult and expensive to acquire. Torpedo tubes also do not possess much ammo capacity, being limited to only a few torpedo tubes with a long loading time.
-'''50 Cals:'''
+====.50 Cals====
 A crew served weapon, meaning you have no control over it in the CIC. It fires many smaller bullets in quick succession, useful for harassing interceptors and intercepting inbound torpedoes. Not much you can do except shout at the crew to <s>aim</s> man them.
-'''The Naval Artillery (NAC/Arty):'''
+====Gauss guns====
-A heavy-duty piercing shot that deals incredible damage. Click and hold to aim the laser sight and release to fire a shot. The NAC only has one shot before it must undergo a very lengthy reload process, and the speed of the shell varies on how much the munition techs have packed it, so use it sparingly and coordinate with munitions.
+Just like the .50 Cals, this weapon is manned and controlled by the crew. The gauss shoot medium sized tungsten slugs at high velocities, and are excellent at shredding armor. It's often a good idea to have at least one person manning these to keep up the damage output when the naval artillery is being loaded.

-Your primary purpose as Captain is to ensure that your assigned vessel completes its patrol as smoothly as possible, and the first way to do that is to plot a course. While you may permit the AI or a bridge staff to chart a course for you, ultimately you are the Captain and your orders are final. Using the FTL navigation console, you will be able to see two things: Your ship information detailing your current star and the status of the FTL’s spool up and the star map where you can see the stars close enough for you to warp to. Blue stars are allied with Nanotrasen and are safe, they cannot be claimed by the Syndicate. Yellow is neutral no-man's-land that can be claimed by the Syndicate if one of their patrol vessels reaches it. Red indicates that it is under Syndicate control and will have hostile forces within it. Alert the ship through use of comms or a communications console before jumping into any system you gauge may have enemies in it.

-Your <b>main objective</b> of the patrol is to visit stars marked with the tag “objective” on the galactic map to hunt down enemy invasion fleets until you are qualified for a shore leave, at which point your primary directive is to return to the newly unlocked star “Risa Station” to complete the round. Optionally, if you wish, you can continue your patrol for additional prestige. You qualify for a crew transfer at 3 objectives completed, but receive a message of congratulation and additional round end torps (OOC currency in the Torp shop) every 5 objectives (5, 10, 15, and finally 20).

 ===Guns and ships===
-So, you’ve entered combat and your bridge staff are either dead or non-existent, what do you do? It’s time to take the helm yourself! To use the flight control console, first activate the DRADIS console next to it to bring up the radar then interact with the flight control console itself to be able to steer the ship. Pressing Q and E will boost turning power left and right for the ship respectively, whereas pressing Shift will boost the ship forwards. Be advised that boosting or doing a significant enough turn will cause players to be thrown into walls and knocked down, so be sure to buckle into a chair before operating any console in CIC. On the DRADIS radar all objects not in the ship’s view circle will be a yellow dot. Coordinate with whomever you have assigned to steer to draw the ship in closer to identify targets. Additionally, despite not being on the tactical console, you still have some control over weapons - namely, the Railguns. Click directly on the overmap in a direction to fire a burst from the Railguns. As there are multiple railguns on an average ship, there is a decent ammo capacity for this weapon but be wary of overusing it as Railguns require regular maintenance and will be down for that period.

Be advised that boosting or doing a significant enough turn will cause players to be thrown into walls and knocked down, so be sure to buckle into a chair before operating any console in CIC. On the DRADIS, there are two modes: passive sonar, and active sonar. <b>Passive sonar</b> only shows you friendly signatures, other signatures within the circle around the ship, or hostiles that are actively pinging you. <b>Active sonar</b> sends out pulses that, while revealing the entire sector to you, reveal your ship to all hostile forces as well. Unless you are hunting down that last, elusive ship, it is a good idea to stay on passive sonar mode.
