I hate those bloody console casuals as much as the next guy, but we will have to deal with them eventually. How can we guarantee none of those skrublords stay around for very long?
-
Make the button for "tool use" on helm unbound by default
-
Bring back the long range meta.
-
Start by showing them.....
How team-based it is
How auto aim can ;D be used in-game
Introduce them to main game: - Lobbies of Icarus.
Repeatedly show them how much fun it is to work as a Cog in a machine.
Tell them how superior the PC is to Consoles at every chance we get.
Do not tell them how 0p Chemspray is.
Just a few thoughts on how we can turn them away in the hundreds.

"Are you a PS4 player?"
"Yes/No"

Problem solved!

I don't want to "stave off" console players. I want them to increase our player base, and learn how a game can involve communication, cooperation, and coordination.
I hope a fool's hope that console players can improve as human beings... :-[

Bring back the long range meta.
I never could accurately aim with a game pad, and I know most console shooters rely on auto aim. I hope muse doesn't add auto aim to this game especially for the long range shot drop guns. I am looking forward to the console influx if only to reply to the question of "how did you make that shot?" with "I use a mouse and can do ballistic calculations in my head."

But we need the player base. I would hate for a rumor to be spread about the GOIO community being venomous towards new players. If we drive off the ps4 players they will spread word to their friends, possibly costing us pc players.

Tell them there is a secret code on each ship which enters invincible mode.

You mean Social -> Friends -> Invite ?

This is partially flawed logic, I think. Large population don't make a game good, but a good game creates a large population. We need a good game. Look how many players have bought GOIO, something around 250,000 if I remember correctly. Current playerbase is like a few thousand.
If the problem of GOIO could be solved the way you think, every sale would leave more people in community than before. But that's not happening. We have a spike and quick drop to pre-sale level. The console release can only make things worse* because of the different nature of controlers and a different mindset of console players, where many games are more solo-focused and, no offence, easier to learn**.
*I'm talking about player experience, of course. I assume that Muse 'doesn't' want to just cash in wherever they can
**try comparing 'any' console shooter to CS:GO #csgomastergame
Tell them munker is OP and see them die in their own mines.

Lets instead encourage the teamplay and how the game is played to the CONSOLE PEASANTS and show exactly how one succeedes. If they complain because they arent fast enough, lead them over to buying the game in PC MASTERACE instead.

Want CS:GO level of players? Just introduce a ton of cosmetic gun/ship drops. Have heavy flaks with flames or some stupid shit that you can turn around and sell for real money on Steam. The game could suck and be filled with hackers but no one cares as long as they can sell what they get to dumb people who have to have hot pink colored mortar launchers. Heck, add a Hatsune Miku labeled Pyra drop and you'll have an entire country playing GOIO overnight :D.
Kinda like that Muse doesn't do this but if you want more players, Muse has to sell out a bit.

Stack a match with two of these ships.
In seriousness though I am looking forward to PS3 release, I have a few console steam punker friends who will like goio

Now that April 1 is over, this is obviously a joke :P
Whilst wary of the PS4 invasion when it happens, if it helps GoI in anyway, I'm all for it

If you're implying that CS:GO has large playerbase only due to the skins stuff... please don't.

I've played CS:GO a bit, just don't see the appeal outside of monetary benefits. If the matches aren't filled with hacks, they're just rehearsed meat grinds that are over in minutes because one team is a bunch of vets and the other team is a bunch of CoD playing noobs who charge in blasting at everything. Think I honestly only had one or two decent matches. Rest, just terrible.

I played CSGO once...
Nothing sums it up better than this:

We must've played a different game then. I see hacks very rarely (thanks to Overwatch) and about that veteran vs noob thing... well, at first, when you don't have the rank it kinda does this. But later it gets better. Also you can find very good servers for noobs in (all hail) server browser. For example I found great Team DM server where I, having around 20 hours played, was 4th and later 3rd out of my 15-20 people team.

I only started aiming with mouse recently. oh dear god its so insultingly easy in comparison.
still though... being mr at the very least average or above on everything. I can do if i gotta.
Also I approve of Vocaloid related content.

Just... wow. Anyway, that game has actually a good matchmaker, that mostly prevents what you just said. Unless of course you're in the skill group of "CoD playing noobs who charge in blasting at everything".

Gave it about 12hrs over multiple nights. I played CS mods in UT99 years prior tho so I knew the gameplay. Just about every match was terrible. Got used to the maps alright, they aren't hard. But every time it was a rehearsed battle. Everyone at the same spots, doing the same tricks. Reminded me of speedball style paintball which I hate with a passion but everyone out in Cali loves.
It literally made me miss Battlefield because at least in Battlefield I could drive a tank up the butts of the brats or had enough room to move so the matches wouldn't be all the same. When I thought about it that way I decided I had enough.
