I been saying it again and again.

CCP TAKE OUT YOUR FAIL BATTLE ACADEMY.

Replace it with an actual Battle academy with online co-op missions.
Co-op missions against npc's dont have to be tied to your dust characters skill set. This gives people a chance to try out all the guns in the game before buyging them.

Co-op missions that can serve as a tutorial for new players.

Objective: Rep that heavy for 5000 points of Armor

Objective: Revive 5 fallen npc comrades

Objective: Teach you to use equipment

Objective: Hack an objective and plant remote explosives

Objective: Eat a taco.

Co-op missions can also give Dust some of that New Eden Lore.
Play as an escaped Minmatar Slave...
Play as a commander of the Amarrian Military.
Go a little bit into the races background and stories. Live the life of a merc.

Co-op , play with your friends. Have a safe environment to practice and learn. Your buddies in your corp can even help teach you here.


Vets may be entertained with this for a little while but this will be the first step to improving a new player experience that is often followed by confusion and pub stomps. Teach them how to play. Advertise the eve lore and maybe you will actually convert a few new eve customers if your backstory is interesting enough.

I have quite a few ideas on the player market as well as balancing issues with the current isk system in place. But I will save that for another day. I don't want to put too much on ccp's plate or else 2.0 will come in 2020
