I have mission and I can recover artefacts, but just cannot read about them on the player info panel.  This was working three days ago.

Why not make each point the same size circle, but color them differently?  I assume the different sized spheres carry some meaning, but I don't understand it (In the manual, right?).

>>> Note: Started a new game, tried to land on Allyphos 1, Nothing happened when I pushed 'L' the second time, not the third or fourth time, but on the fifth push, text scrolled up from the lower left side of the screen, saying "Welcome to Allyphos 1".  This text faded within one second, which is too quickly.  This is the first time I've seen this alert.  I'm NOT in full screen mode, so this has probably been covered by my linux app bar for as long as I've been testing Epiar.  I suggest that the program should detect full-screen vs windowed mode and move the location of that bottom text appropriately.
