Summary0012314: City view interface initially unclear
DescriptionWhen you start the game, there are these columns of icons on either side, but you have no idea what they do or are supposed to represent until you mouse over them. So maybe you can have text headers like "Enemy Bots" or "Pilot" or "Exo" over the relevant icons, or, write what the icon is supposed to represent on the icon itself, like you've done for the bot types. That way people won't need to mouse over the icons to get basic information about what they're supposed to represent, because otherwise it might be a tad bit confusing at first.

I think it'd become clutter very quickly once you do know what the icons are. Just explain it in the introductory tip screen; if players forget they can fall back on the tooltips.

Hmm...yeah. Maybe have an overlay of labels pointing to the various components while the tip screen is showing.

I think that the hot tips popup pretty much handles this, and what it doesn't can be easily learned by hovering, which is a key skill in this game.
