Mission Briefings
After selecting a level, its mission briefing begins automatically and contains information that is vital to gameplay. Mission briefings include the map locations of all key sectors and beam gates and technology upgrades. They also show you where your enemies are located and how many vehicles are in their armada, as well as the location of your own Host Station and vehicles.
Because you cannot refer back to a mission briefing unless you restart the mission, make careful note of the information it provides. The strategic advice it offers may prove to be crucial. Mission briefings only occur during single-player games.
