Airstrike to come available later

[Skitso]

I think the airstrike option shouldn't be available at the very start of the game, but unlock after maybe the first completed scout GC mission. As it is now, new players might just airstrike all downed ufo's as it sounds more cool than "intercept".

When the airstrike unlocks, there could also be a tutorial screen that explains the function in depth with it's pros and cons.

It'd be a good in game method to show how the war escalates and different nations are joining their forces against the uknown threat. Maybe even do an airstrike xenopedia article to deepen the lore.

I think that can be solved in a much simpler way with helpful tool tips for newer players.

In my point of view, having an airstrike even as an option in a phase where it is absolutely obligatory to NOT do it, is quite misleading and bad game design.

Please don't force me to do a bunch of light scout missions I don't want to do. The tutorial screen can come up after the player's downed their first UFO and clicks on the crashsite. If they don't read it then, they never will.

The "objective" in the bottom right of the screen tells you you need to do a crash site, as does the explanatory pop-up. I think it's fine the way it is.

I agree with Chris. I don't want any hand holding. If you can read you should be able to figure out what to do. I'm assuming the game manual, when completed, will point this out too.

Airstrikes always confused me until I used one. At first, I though it meant spend 20k to bomb a site and kill some of the aliens to make it easier. Then I used one, and it was the opposite almost. Maybe just add a '+' to the text?
