#42: Your callsign seems to assume you're still a rookie, even though you've already been a pilot in a serious adventure in the previous game.
Hint 2: I think that's why there's a level where you have to listen to you instructor, follow [his] lead and do as [he] says.
#41: This game introduced many new technical features, including multiple floors and the ability to look and shoot up or down.
