I like the list, but I think that this spoiler

"Here's a hint: some Black Market operatives like to dine at the fancy hotels. If you have something they want, maybe they'll talk to you."

is not a hint, but a dead giveaway for even newer players. I think that figuring out the black market is one of the joys of the game, and with the exception of one person, I can't think of anyone who has never accidentally run into this situation.

You could change it to: "Here's a hint: some of the people that dine at those fancy hotels pay through illegal means. They'll talk to you, if you have the right goods."

Also, captain's primer is outdated

eg.

By Gannon
I just bought this missile launcher and now your telling me I need to buy more!
I don't care if it is cheap. What do you think I am made of money?
I saw that you just grabbed a random ROM out of that box. How do I know it is the correct one?
So how do you use this "targeting ROM"?
Yes I know you have to install ROMs I am asking after that.
R? Why 'R'? Why not 'T' for targeting? That doesn't make any sense.
Well, I am the customer. The customer is always right.
So how do I target enemies that are farther away?
What? Why can't I? I don't care about the stupid peon ships when the huge capital ship is firing on me.
ARG, nothing I can do since I already bought the missiles.
I will talk to my lawyer about getting this place shut down.
