Misinformation, bad spelling, lore that makes no sense, incomplete or uninformative descriptions, info that doesn't apply anymore...
Is there any way we can help update and tidy the manual up? It's just terrible.
There doesn't even need to be a weapon damage mentioned because it's completely irrelevent since UGTO, ICC, and K'Luth defenses and weapons all behave differently.
And what's this about a weapon range being 120~230?
And beacons being used to help track down enemys who retreat? How? It doesn't mark a target for attack, all it does is raise signature a little, which is about as useful as flying in circles.

Copy it onto the Wiki (if it's not already) and start editing it there?

Some things have changed since then, I would surmise.

4 years out of date? wow
Perhaps the manual should just be replaced with the wiki, or modified to allow direct edits by trusted users.
The manual is the first thing people are looking at, and I've heard newbies mentioning or following stuff that no longer applies.

I agree. Manual should be archived(not removed) and replaced by the wiki.

The wiki has always been meant to replace the manual, the only problem being that the Wiki is entrely user created and its been getting very little attention sadly so parts of it are still either incorrect or uncomplete.
I beg anyone who has time and knows what they're talking about to take a look at the wiki and help it out a bit, it still needs work.

i have time...but the "know what ur talking about" may be difficult at some parts:) the "game mechanics" and wiki should be coupled in one thread in the forums named "new persons check here" entry
