So since we have taken a stance to help new people, and as this game gains more and more in popularity there will be many new people. So are we going to have a branch of TEST devoted solely to the organization and ease of accessibility to training content for players?
While each subsection of TEST will more than likely be willing to help and show new people the ropes of that specialization, should there not also be a focused group to provide information and training on each of the areas in a more localized manner. Give players a training system basically they can go to, and attend classes that are set up by TESTies that specialize in a skill-set to give an intro to that profession, as well as answer any questions that may be had. As well as General Education classes provided to cover basics (economy, ships, systems, fitting, travel, ROE, etc). There can also be the tie-in to our youtube videos and wiki information provided and updated by this group, or at least shared out in an easily digestible format for newcomers.
Having a specific groups who's main focus is to create, schedule, and provide educational content will help not only draw in new people to our fun loving drunkards group, but will also give us a higher quality standard of members than most other corps. Simply put we will have more pilots and better training than anyone else out there (at least to start with).
I searched and didn't find any threads about this subject, and I wasn't sure if this was better suited to Logistics or Professions. I hope this is the right place, I just want to help better provide a brighter future for our group.
