Instructors. Toons that get a set SP and weekly check. I'd do it. You would have no motive to stomp and we would have tutorials covered. maybe these accounts could get a blue name tag. that would be f-in sweet

I was expanding on your idea not challenging it.

My views on how to provide a smoother transition for new players is to have payouts (SP and ISK) scaling up by security level from zero payouts at 1.0 to full payouts at 0.5 or better, and to manage the issues of fragmentation of the (limited) player base using contract matching.
The blueberries have no clue when leaving the academy. increasing their pay outs only helps alts get up to speed quicker. nice try.
That chick that calls out every hack could be reprogrammed to say things like:
"hack that, yes you, no don't run, theres no one here hack. Hack it you stupid blueberry. no, stop shooting the console. do you see the circle, press it. no don't walk in a circle."

Then make a militia item only game mode.
So everyone playing in that game mode has no skills applying and is essentially using the same level equipment.
It will be a decent learning mode for new players, and a game mode option for older players of DUST, without massive benefits from skills.
Will also encourage mercenaries outside of that game mode to invest in proper suits/items/weapons as the militia supplied ones offer no advantage other then being free.
are you a dude? we always wondered way back in open beta

Re-read what I wrote: payouts for new players would be reduced, not increased.
I didn't read it much. my comment had little to do with the way you phrased yours. the payouts are moot. most new players do not understand them anyway. I explain the SP system atleast twice a week. the learning curve is steep mostly because nothing is explained. it could be easily rectified.
