I admit it, I can't walk into a Mech bay and just whip my Myomer bundle out and offload coolant when other Mechwarriors are watching.
That said, I wonder if there will be some sort of off-line training concession made for the discreet Mechwarrior who might want to figure out the proper way to grip their joystick or manipulate their throttle quadrant before they embarrass themselves on the battlefield?
Not expecting any sort of Mech-on-Mech loving but maybe some sort of Boot-camp'esk something so we all don't look like a bunch of cherries on the first day...

It will however get you ready to things like torso turn, aiming, timing, jumpjets and similar things. I play it often on gameranger and many of the warriors who use gameranger are friendly and will offer advice as well.

That was my problem with BF3, no training location where you could practice flying and shooting aircraft and such. You had to learn the hard way on the field where everyone has smartass comments and no real advice. Plus they demand you not fly the aircraft since they only spawn every so often.

*sniffs* goodbye old friend, you never laughed when I accidentally got lost during training mission 1 (even though it's guided)...and had to reboot...I'll miss you.
I can see it now, working late one night in the mech bay and *jumps* cheebus DaZur! how long you been standing there staring at me..

It's going to be very important for us to have something for the new in-experienced players of MechWarrior Online. A lot of people are going to be disoriented by torso twist itself and it's going to be up to us to help alleviate that situation. So yes, there will be something. What exactly, that's for us to know and you guys to speculate on.

It will be a focus on the Dev team to make sure players get a good walk-through and schooling so not to be slaughtered and not enjoy the experience.

I think they're going to have the hula girl on your dashboard talk to you and give you piloting tips.

I dont remember the total number of challenges off hand but i liked how it reinforced more than just basic controls.

A simple flat plain with a few targets set up would suffice for many, I would think. Being able to test joystick button mapping without worrying that an AC/20 is about to mess me up is something I'd like to see at a minimum.
