Then there's no way a newbie can buy the game, skip the awful tutorials and/or have no other Novices to play and learn the basics with, then "ruin" the game for all you vets.

Hey, I did a few pages back. Not sure if anyone payed it any mind, though.
But really, I still think locking out new players from a third of the game is really a harsh way to fix this problem. Like I said before, the devs should look into making the tutorials better. Unlike what I said before, however, there should be more incentive to actually do the tutorials as well, as part of the problem is people outright skipping it, and jumping into a match full of vets and piloting right off the bat.
The point is, the Devs and we as a community need to do a better job of getting Novices to learn piloting. I'm sure there are plenty of options, some of which have been mentioned already. But outright banning people from an entire class would only do more harm than good, and it's a rather extreme solution to take when other options exist.

You chummed the waters Jedi. This is what you get.
For my part, there are some nights I feel like teaching, and some nights where I want to cause mayhem. On the mayhem nights if I get assigned a novice ship I leave it and start looking for friends to stack with.
As stated before I like your proposal, even if I am almost certain Muse will not implement it. I view occupying the commander slot as taking responsibility for the experience of 3 other people (assuming no AI crew). I don't want people taking the responsibility lightly or approaching it unprepared. No matter how funny they think it will look on YouTube later.

lightbulb
what if the tutorial continued into the actual match? A set of tips that are triggered for specific events until a certain level is reached or it is manually turned off.
For instance - burning kerosine for x seconds causes a warning message about blowing up engines.
Too far from ally ship causes a warning message about considering staying closer
Exiting map area gives warning message about going off the map and to press M
Taking damage gives warning that they should fall back and find a place to facilitate repairs
This mid match tip box / tutorial / warnings could occur for each role.
just a though.

Ive been the noob. Ive taught the noobs. Im still learning from my own brotherhood. No matter how many in here complain about novices flying, acting entitled to wreck novices, stack them, and not teach them is inappropriate at any time. The game requires it. Period. Cannot be played and enjoyed by the masses if it is not done. For example I just got wrecked several matches in a row by SPQR while attempting to discuss things with a level 9 spire pilot. It was good. We discussed. Learned. The minute the match was over noone would be on his team. Or co-captain. The standard should be higher for this game and die hard player base. Some long time pilots dont feel like teaching. Fine. Standown and let someone else on the crew do it. Tell them little things at a time so they soak it in easier. Dont need to explain a book. If people dont wanna teach and just wanna wreck shit I dont think it should be against level 5 players or less. Kinda seems pointless after the first game. At least stay the next game and get on the same side. Something. Just imo.
I just realized reading my post that my mantra is "someone has to do it." But if nobody does it where does that leave it?

There are CAs and novice mode for this exact purpose. But the system itself is flawed because match making is flawed and the current server browse doesn't cater for highly emphasising novice lobbies for novices.
Wherein TEACHERS actually exist there to TEACH.
If you walk into advanced, you better be ready to up your game. Same with vet game, I expect the absolute best out of anyone involved in a vet game. And if level 30 isn't enough to ready you for vet game, that too is the systems fault because a vet isn't some baby that grinded a single class to 30 and practically learned no advanced tactical awareness from said experience of grinding his puny 100 matches.
