So let me just start off with some basic ideas about the Academy.
I believe starting SP should begin at 1,000,000.
Get out of the Academy at 15,000 WP.
Option to leave whenever you want.
Option to join whenever you want, unless you have already went over your 15,000 WP limit. Some new players may find fighting with better players to much of a challenge. So they may want to go back to the academy if they leave to earlier.
1,000,000 SP earned for graduating the academy. along with 5,000,000 million ISK. This would allow new players to invest some SP and afford some skill books.
Tutorial ideas for new players.
Skill points, tell new players what SP is for, how to use it, what it is good to be spent on, like suits and core skills.
Teach players how to use every weapon. Every weapon we get a shooting range. Tell players what to shoot at, how to shoot.
Then new players get put into a battle. (This is where it gets detailed.)
A new game is spawned up, (A skirmish) Player gets told about everything that is on the first screen (Spawn screen)
Then they will get told to spawn MCC. Told to activate Inertia dampening when they are falling. Then they are instructed to head to an objective. They may die on there way there and then have to repeat these actions, because this is a real game. (By this part they would have already done the shooting range and stuff so they have a chance to kill the other player)
They are told to head to a neutral objective and hack it. They hack it and are told how to win this game mode.
Then the same types of things happens for the other game modes, but of course it is usually just how to play it and such.
The gun range would be open to all players at any time to try out weapons of any level. Also vehicles to drive and to practice shooting.
I could make this a lot more detailed but most people understand what i mean.
TL;DR starting SP should begin at 1,000,000. Get out of the Academy at 15,000 WP. Option to leave whenever you want. Option to join whenever you want, unless you have already went over your 15,000 WP limit. 1,000,000 SP earned for graduating the academy. along with 5,000,000 million ISK. Detailed tutorial. |

Doing this will cut into their precious booster sales, and honestly at this point they have made it very clear boosters and aur are all they care about. 2 million sp is not enough for even 3 half decent skills to level 5.
People will always buy boosters. |

Base at 1,000,000 than 250,000 for graduating the academy seems balanced to me if we have to change it. |

theres other popular FPS games that don't have a practice range.
But we have a lot of guns, i think this would be helpful. You could time how long it takes to kill someone, set up a bot with however much health you want.
Test grenades. See weapon effectiveness.
So many extra things could be seen if we had a gun range |

Well i did make a brick wall but ya. for a forum not really... CCP tutorial is a wall of words just thrown at players and most players won't read all of it. i only read it the first i played because i played eve and know some eve corps and have a ton of friends that play eve still. btw not a fan of eve. that wall of words is helpful for eve to dust players but no one else and scares people away when they have to read a book before playing. Well ya i agree. Having both the options is nice though |

I'm not sure if you guy recall, but they gave you a weapon, let you use it with no skill points in it, then they gave you the same weapon maxed out so you can see the difference. It'd give the new players a sense of what they're up against and what they'll eventually have. good idea. |
