An idea for teaching mechanics
dragonmere:
I was examining the mid-level "teaching" achievements, and some of them seem a bit sadistic. Win x matches with all level 1-2 crew, and the 2 achievements about spending 4 hours each in sandbox mode.
There needs be a way, as a higher level pilot (or other classes), to advertise that you are looking for exclusively low level crew. This should also include advertising availability to teach/practice in sandbox mode. Otherwise, the multiple achievements of winning matches with all 1-2 crew, and spending 4(!?) hours in sandbox are basically impossible. Spamming regional chat only works so well.
Getting the achievements aside, I think this would be a wonderful way to introduce new player to the game through experienced and willing pilots (and crewmates!).
Clara Skyborn:
Just to clarify, the four hours in Sandbox is cumulative, it doesn't have to all be in one session!
There is a "Teacher" privilege that allows high-level players to enter beginner-only matches, which would be the best place to achieve these higher-level teaching achievements. Right now the privilege is only available to devs and CAs, but we're looking at ways of granting it to other players, possibly as an unlock for one of the earlier teaching achievements.
if you have more ideas on how to improve the system, please share!

If you open up the "teacher" privilege to everyone who gets achievement x, you might want to implement a mechanic that limits non-beginners in beginner matches to 1 per ship or something like that :)

I agree, wouldn't want higher level players flowing back into beginner lobbies
N-Sunderland:
I think that for the most part, beginner matches should remain closed to higher-levelled players. Teacher privileges should only be handed out to specific people, like the ones involved in Training Days who aren't CAs.
