OP here. This game looks pretty special and I'm looking forward to its release. I was a little discouraged and hoped my post might provide the devs with some 'please make this accessible' comments.
True story - first game I ever bought was 'X-Wing'. Bought my first PC to play it. And it was a fantastic game, but it had some really hard missions. I wrote a letter to Computer Gaming World magazine saying, 'gee, I wish LucasArts would make their games more accessible for (and this is the exact phrase I used 'less than expert players).
CGW published the letter and said, 'fair enough, we hope so too'.
TIE-Fighter came out and had all sorts of improvements to make it easier to play.
