● SYSTEM_READY

01 // HARDWARE_STABILIZATION

> STORAGE: **MANDATORY SSD INSTALL.** Running on an HDD causes “falling through the world” and infinite loading.
> CPU_DISTRIBUTION: Disable “E-Cores” (Intel 12th Gen+) via BIOS or Process Lasso to eliminate micro-stuttering.
> GRAPHICS_LOAD: Set Quality to **HIGH/VERY HIGH**. Low settings force the CPU to bottleneck.
> TIME_SYNC: Manually **Sync Windows System Clock** to prevent Error 30000/Authentication failures.
> MEMORY: 32GB RAM recommended. 16GB users must set a 16GB-32GB Pagefile on their fastest SSD.

02 // DEPLOYMENT_PROTOCOLS

> STAGING: Leave your starting city immediately. Set your medical spawn at the orbiting station above.
> COMMS: Use Global Chat (Enter). Veterans are the best navigation tools available.
> LOOPS: Start with Delivery/Cargo to learn flight and landing without combat stress.
> ESSENTIALS: Never depart without a weapon, a multi-tool, and a space suit.

03 // ENVIRONMENTAL_SURVIVAL

> RENDER_WAIT: If elevator floors or Metro trains look missing, **WAIT 60s**. Do not enter non-rendered space.
> VISOR_MAINT: Press **ALT+X** to clear snow/mud from your visor in hostile weather.
> SUSTENANCE: Stock **Cruz Lux**—it satisfies both hunger and thirst in one unit.
> HELMET_MACRO: Press **ALT+H** to quickly stow/equip your helmet for eating.
> BUG_FIX: If interaction fails, drop the item (F) and pick it back up to reset the state.

04 // FLIGHT_&_TACTICAL

> ATC_HAIL: If Alt+N fails, use ship MFD (Menu > Comms) to hail landing services.
> REARM_BUG: If rearm options are gray, hover slightly above the pad and re-request landing.
> ENGINE_SAFETY: Press **’I’** to kill engines on pads. This prevents wind from drifting your ship.
> QUANTUM_FIX: If drive won’t spool, cycle it (Hold B) or look away and back at the target.
> EMERGENCY_STOP: NAV off, landing gear down, and boost in reverse for max deceleration.
