Basic basics, or what I wish someone had told me half a year ago

@nilyt: good idea about the guide, I already fancied that idea myself for a while since this document got bigger and bigger. I'll happily add stuff/rework text for your project. That will be a full game manual then, I suppose. I'd have added pics of weapons and stuff for this guide but the forum isn't the right platform for good text formatting

Edit: I can't seem to edit anything on the wiki though, I seem not to have edit permissions. :o/
