Some really going points here but also to note:
- I think you should adequately describe the dropsuit layout in relation not only to CPU/PG but what area in the actual fitting screen is considered the high slots, low slots, etc. Then expand upon that to say certain modules can fit in those spots. Give an example of each so it encourages the player to read up on those items for the benefit
- suggest starter items to place in those slots for some benefits (you have them already on the suit, but it doesn't encourage them to understand what they are and what they do for the player and their suit. this might help newer players realize that proto suits by themselves don't help you win. The extra pg/cpu on that suit to fit proto modules is what actually helps you win).
- while we're on that, really revamp some of these descriptions. They need more input to clearly state what they do. I can't tell you how many times 'what exactly does scan precision do?' get asked over and over again
- put effective ranges on all weaponry please
- please, please, please explain to new players the information readout that displays when you put your crosshairs on an enemy. this by itself could really effect how a new player approaches their enemies and cut down on the rage quitting. If they are explained that readout, they might start to understand that trying to shoot someone over 150m away with an SMG might be a bad idea (weapon ranges and efficiency) and also would start smarter game play so they won't try to flank a proto armor stacked heavy with over 1000ehp in their militia starter fit and expect to win because of other game past experience.

Oh also, list how to detonate a single RE in the description. I've been asked that question thousands of times.

This isn't the Rookie Forums where I've answered it many times, so I didn't expect to have to explain it to a game developer. But if it satisfies your holiness, I'll edit my post.

What I find humorous is I just did a quick search for dust videos for a project I'm cutting up. Besides them being filled with things that never came, this video actually explained way more than the first or even current tutorial system now.
It actually details the whole package much more than the 'tutorial' system today, however it is incredibly outdated. When I first started, there was an in game mail that had 8 million lines of text and explained everything. I actually prefer that to today's poor tutorial implementation. Video is a good medium to get information across to your players and while still intensive, it is probably less intensive than you dedicating in game development to have an interactive tutorial. Players have been doing this for you for far too long.
Since you find it difficult to keep people engaged in-game, why not include in game mails of where to go to while out of game to get newer players more information. Link to useful starter guides, videos, and FAQs. While I think having to port players to places OTHER than the game is a horrible implementation, it's what we have now and I know of far too many players that don't even know these forums/site exists. You should use this forum as a tool to educate your players more and use your front page site for ANYTHING AT ALL. I only visit it to sign up for newsletters giveaways.
If I had access to your website, I would update that brochure-wear site for free and make it 100x more engaging.
