I'll put this in the wish list though it's more of a general commentary...
I played ST on my phone a couple years ago, had fun but had other things to do. Silly me. But I'm baaaaack..... now on my Kindle where the experience is much more pleasant.
What I'm remembering about my first experience back then is that it was really tough to find good info in a single place. That hasn't changed. Part of the fun of a game is discovery, but there are too many points about this game which only dawn on us as we're playing or reading. There are a lot of unknowns. We don't know what we don't know. When we finally know what we need to know, the resources are inadequate. The Library option in-game is sparse. The Help page is sparse. The forum needs to be searched and contains great info that's not elsewhere. Those are all valuable resources when the info is taken together, but the player is still left to hunt around for info.
We need a wiki where people can dump their (out)worldly experience, link topics, and debate/refine content. As time goes on, I'd be happy to contribute what I know to docs, and I'm sure others here would as well.
BTW, Cory Trese, I write a lot of technical documentation for software, books, articles, blogs, wiki, etc. Feel free to tap me for assistance for maintenance, moderation, organizing content, etc. You guys are focused on writing code, the burden of maintaining a wiki could shift some of that focus but none of us would want that.
