More handholding needed for NOOBs

Starting Survival with the new drop, I can repair the Crashed Grass Hopper and lift off. The grid defaults to Speed Limited and there are no clues as to how to change this. Perhaps you could add a Datapad pointing to the the control panel and the cockpit settings. Leave it in a box at the crash site.

It is also not clear what the POWER OVERLOAD is trying to warn you about. Are there long term consequences to ignoring it?

I have been guessing that it indicates that I have been trying to fly too high for my atmospherics. Again NOOB's could use a little more handholding here that could be covered in a Cockpit settings datapad. This is especially irritating when the second contract wants you to fly over ridge high enough to trigger the warning about the air getting thin

Players have been trying to get the message to Keen that the tutorial should take place before the main game in a curated environment where small steps can happen in a limited possibility state. This would start a new player with everything in a user state, and introduce engineering with survival slowly.

Wilhelm has a post, now in archive, to that effect.
