Many new players don't understand that the starter fits are just to get them started. Many of them treat starter fits like classes, don't know how to edit them, or how to make new ones, and don't know how to get new items. Likewise, many don't even know how to get new skills, and level up. Its a problem because the amount of control we have over our own characters is one of the best things about Dust, and many new players completely miss it, and it colors their opinion of Dust.
A possible solution to consider is to have players make their own characters from scratch.
Make them make their fits from items found in the militia market section as part of a mandatory tutorial. Lead them to the militia section, have them buy dropsuits, weapons, modules, and equipment, then guide them to the dropsuit fitting section to make fittings; let them choose ONE of those fittings to become an unlimited starter fit that never runs out, and make them understand that the other ones are of finite quantity and require restocking.
Next guide them to the all skills page, and have them buy/use at least one skill book, and level it up.
This will require starting players out with more ISK, and more SP to compensate for the lack of starter fits and skills we start out with now currently.
Making players do things themselves will greatly improve comprehension in my opinion. It also makes more sense for a sandbox game driven by player choice. |

But I'd make one addition. Don't make the tutorial mandatory to alt characters, right now if I make an alt I get the tutorial video, even though I have this character with full comprehension of the game. I can skip that video, but if they make a tutorial that is mandatory, I would have to repeat it twice for my two alt characters.
I think the saved game data on PS3 tracks if you did a tutorial already on that account, if it doesn't then it should. |
