Meaning, a simple map with static targets for one player wherein he could select any type of weapon to use. Yes, I'm aware that most/all types are available as militia weapons for a small fee...but it'd be nice for new players to get a chance to experience the weapons before diving into online matches to get a better feel for how each weapon operates, while at the same time giving them an idea of what type of weapon they should set out to specialize in. |

Yep. We've been calling for one of these for about a year now. As it stands new players are best off if they go to Dust University or join a friendly corp's pub channel so they can mine vets for advice. |

I really could have used some place to learn to fly dropships. But then I probably wouldn't have bought the aerial assault pack so I had some throw away ships to practice with. |

This is probably the biggest reason why I want one, its nearly impossible to try and teach someone how to fly when you have proto stomping bears with tanks shooting you as you try to teach the student how to land :( |

Well that's your problem right there. Don't land, just crash your dropship into a pack of enemies after bailing out.  |

So Oceania is like the Low Sec of DUST?
Dangerous, can be dull for long periods, low rewards for the risk. |

Then you'd just get experienced players trolling that like they do with Acdemy mode.
Would have to severely restrict it to be a training room for new players. Experienced players wanting to train just as we'll should use the pubs. |

Yea a training room would be great for corporations to hold training battles with their members. Or allow you to customize to create unique situations. Like for instance, starting a game that has the objective already taken with your team clones down by half. Be good to train PC virgins |

My idea would be that it would be single-player only; basically, the game spawns you onto one of the battlefields with a collection of targets. You could then try out the different suit layouts (basic Amarr medium/Amarr heavy/etc.) along with basic weapons (in addition to dropship/LAV/HAV practice.) This might also allow for players to get a better grasp of each weapon's range, too.
Edit:
Following up on my subsequent post, this wouldn't be a competitive match. It could be single-player or, as others have mentioned, restricted to single corporations as practice grounds. |

This would also be a good feature, not only to help established corporations work on their teamwork but also to allow groups such as Dust University to actively teach new players how to play. |

You think correctly!
Thinking of starting a corp just so I could name it "Everyone-I-Love Is Dead." |
