META

INTENTS

The following checklist is not meant to substitute the more complete, in-depth, and professional checklists already in existence. Its aim is instead to provide both a more effective learning asset, and a simpler immediate reference for the more common occurences. This is achieved by using structured lists and color coded elements.

THANKS

Thanks to the following ED forums users, for providing their feedback and helping me better this document: CaptDoctor Daebak Davidson RightStuff Wrecking Crew Special thanks to anyone that downloaded this.
