When someone has an account that has combat 3 they shouldn't be required to do the tutorial again.

-1 not worth wasting the dev time on as it only takes a minute to do it again.

Kinda mixed feelings on this.
Retaking the tutorial is pointless and a waste of time
BUT
I dont care for disposable alts either and a token effort should be made.

This could take the form of an alternative mission that only appears to players with a character above level 4.

and if said person hasnt been online in a very long time?

The tutorial could be an optional mission until the player reaches combat 3.

Better yet. Just add a skip tutorial button. If the player makes a alt then he or sheshe obviously knows what their doing upon creating the alt. I do not see a problem with tutorials. Helpful reminders. But also people who make alts would be grateful for something before tutorials like "Skip tutorials?"

I agree with Iron Lord. A skip tutorial button would be great and probably the best solution.

new alt from name to homing at capital station is less then 60 seconds. How is wasting dev time on this worth the effort?

How is improving the game a waste of time? That's what they have been doing all the time and every developer does in every game.

I start the tutorial missions and leave the station and click through them real quick and dock and hit complete mission button. two tutorials with two dockings and i am gone.

It is the pilot test mission that drives me nuts. waiting 30 seconds for the next drone to kill makes me want to scream.

I just put a timer on for 2 minutes and tab away from the Vo client. Come back and kill all the drones.

Maybe offer a pop up window asking if you want to retake the tutorial when making a new alt?

but then the new people who really ought to be taking it again will elect to skip it, further compounding their own problems.

What luxen said.

The tutorial isn't that long.
