HaZmY:
Hello my fellow friends!

I can see many people struggle with the game, esspecialy now when we get TONS of new players thanks to Steam and Humblebundle.
So...I would like to help these people!
I can understand that people don't like to do tutorials and listen to guides or just read them, becuse...THEY WANT TO PLAY.
And that's a very very good reason in fact.

So what is my idea?

I want to organize Tutorial matches for people who needs them, where players with better knowledge of the game helps.
Of course, you can say...people can ask in global chat if they want! Yes, they could, but many won't. If we could get MUSE's support on this and make this official,
we can get many people see that they can learn to play while having great fun with us, where they won't get shouted at for being new.

For this I also need volunteers to help me and of course...why would I do this if noone wants tutorial matches?

If you guys request this thing and would find it useful, then please reply to this post so I know if i should start arranging it.

I will be updating this post every time there's something new I can share with you about this "event"! We will arrange time and schedule about it as soon as we know you like the idea!

Hey HaZmY,

This actually used to be a thing way back in the day when I first became a CA. I found that a lot of newer players did enjoy it, and would have probably kept it going to this day, if other various factors hadn't interfered (mainly RL work :()... If this is something you're willing to pursue, do not hesitate to start your planning (If you would like advice, I am more than happy to provide if needed :))).

To Clear Skies,
Shink

This is actually what a CA's work supposed to be. 
But I love the idea and I would love to join as other helper

I really like the idea! However I will say already that I'm probably the totally wrong person to help with any thing other than possibly arranging it as I'm about as trust wordy as a rabid squirrel when it comes to handling new player;P. I could sit on the sideline a few times yelling things in match chat to pilots tho if you needed that:)

But how do you plan to pull it off?

My idea would be starting out in the sandbox with maybe one engineering ship, one buff ship, a pilot ship and possibly a gunner ship. This way you put one experienced player in as a teacher and starts with showing them what to do, talk about different tools and ammo and simply do a run threw of what they are expected to do. (Should take about 15-30 min)
After this you guys could jump out to "real" games where they get to test out what you have talked about still with some help from older players but where the focus isn't on the older players really doing much of the work as this might shift balances, make the matches boring and take away from the people learning(will be hard to implement maybe they only get to spectate and give tips?). (maybe for 1-2 hours so it really sinks in)
(Idea based on how Rydr teaches chem spray circles so it is somewhat tested)

Does this sound like a good idea? It might (will) get boring but I feel that Icarus is to advanced to just throw people in to the frame of battle and this will still be more interactive than the tutorials.

Any how no mater how you do it remember to focus on the new players and don't let the old ones have to much action, after all any one can sit and look at someone else  running repair cycles doesn't mean they will get a feel for it. This must not turn in to a glorification of the older players if it is to work!

HaZmY:
Great to see that people actually like the idea, we can pull something off then!

I want to do something like you said, but first we have to get support of Muse! We need arranged times for this to work, and after that we can make a tutorial scheme that we will do!

Sandbox is a great idea, esspecially for engineers to practice, but It will be fine for everyone!

I start planning then, since it seems like you guys approve this idea!
