These are all of the guiding tips which appear during load screens in Rebel Galaxy, extracted from the LUA data files. Many of them are context sensitive regarding input method, I have included the 360 control scheme in the tips below because this is what appeared in the LUA file I went through.

I hope someone finds this list useful, there were a few gems in there for me. Happy hunting!
