Here's the deal, we all know the tutorial is less than what it could be (orbit not working for some, etc.). However we now have rudimentary resources with which to improve upon the tutorial.
For anyone not familer with the tutorial in its present form, it covers (in the most basic fashion) in-system navigation/movement (go, stop, turn, orbit, jump), planet capturing, nav map useage, targeting, and combat.
Serveral new tutorial missions have already been suggested, namely advanced navigation(gates/wh useage, point jumping, generally moving from one system to another), building and planet management, and combat and ship management (including repair and shipyard useage). Bombing may or may not be included.
Here's where you, the community, comes in. You get to suggest items that should be included in the tutorial(s). Suggestion format is as follows
- Item to be included (ex. show players how to upgrade their ships)
- SHORT (2-3 lines) peice on WHY it should be included
You MAY suggest something that has already been suggested (particularly if you have a different reason). Such will taken as support for inclusion.
Non-suggestion comments (saying something couldnt be included for whatever reason, anything that looks remotely like a flame, anything off topic, etc.) are liable to be removed for the sake of tidyness.
And for the "what's in it for me?" crowd, any player(s) who get their suggestion(s) included may appear as an AI ship in the tutorial [this is not necessarily a promise or guarentee your name will be included]

If something offends you, lighten up, get a life, and move on.

Suggestion: Modding+required buildings+devices explainations (like, antimatter technology ftw)
Reason: it applies to the next patch and modding is still a key point of the game.

Infantry further explained (ship captures/infantry commands).
- : Aside from planet capturing, the reason this is needed in the tutorials is because new players should be aware of ship capturing, so they are not farmed off of for the priv. badge, and because it can be fun to exit a combat session while dropping your inf on the enimy before running off to damage his ship or capture it. As for the commands, just a breif tutorial. I think they should also know at this point in time how to control the infantry.

include: armour/shields, and hull explanation.
It doesnt have to be very complicated just explain what armour and shields do, how to turn shields off and on, armour arcs, what happens when all armour on one arc is gone, the point of hull, and how to repair armour and hull.
reason: Some people actually dont know how armour and hull works. By explaining it to newer people it will help some under stand combat a little better.
