		+	If Oolite does not start up automtically, very likely the path to the Oolite installation is wrongly configured. Browse for the correct path, or let Nexus suggest suitable paths and try which one works best for you.
		+
		+	If you do not see a green connection on the Nexus status panel it may be that
		+	* you are not running a debug version of Oolite,
		+	* it maybe that Oolite does not connect to an external debug console (especially on MacOS),
		+	* if may be that Oolite expects the debug console not where Nexus is listening.

Sometimes you may experience that you have to wait for the inventory to appear. This can happen if information from the other star systems is not immediately available.

		+	===Status===
		+	The Status tab allows you to check if Nexus has everything it should. On one screen you can see the connectin status and a few important game parameters.
		+	You can even retrieve the ship manifest and check the content of your cargo bay.

		+	In case Nexus looses the XMPP connection it will try to reconnect automatically. This does not work on the Oolite side, as it is Oolite that needs to reconnect.

		+	===Chat===
		+	The chat panel allows you to see what other users are online.
		+	It also allows you to send messages and see the messages that you and others sent. In case you are busy flying and thus cannot keep an eye on the chat panel, listen closely. All incoming messages are forwarded as comms messages and are read out if you configured Oolite Text To Speech.

		+	===Warehouse===
