Manual

This is the player manual for Orion2 Redone version 2.00. The project restores Master of Orion II as a native application for Windows, macOS, and Linux while retaining and extending fixes and features from the unofficial 1.50 patch.

The MOO2 1.50.26 manual remains the foundation of this manual, so its established organization and useful detailed explanations are retained. Information presented as current has been checked against version 2.00. Historical notes identify behavior or configuration that applies only to 1.50.
