And no its not a brain....
What they need is a solo player room that allows them to try out mechs shooting and other little things that's it for the most part. But this has been talked about to death.
Other things that will help.
1a)1 of each stock type mech as a trail not just 4 and any one time. Cos lets face it 4 mechs is a little weak when players get into the game for the first time IF you allowed every stock type to be used as a trail it would help alot.
1b) Could add a system where players can loan out their own custom mechs free of charge that allows new players to select them and use as if they owned them (full cost no experience). As I have a few mech in my bay that dont get used. This then allows new players to get a taste of what can be done with mechs once they have the cash in game or pay for with real money.
2) did I mention a single player room where they can test things? yes oh well needs to be said again anyway.
3)K.I.S.S. you guys in the Dev team should know this. so adding more combat types like 1st and 3rd person is a no no as it does not allow for balance. And if you split the community up it does more harm that it can ever do good. As new players then HAVE TO LEARN more types of combat.
4)A single player room that allows them to test movement, weapons and other little things......Oh did I say this one before?
These 3 things oops I meant 4 would change new player's experience and reduce the learning curve by a lot. If you add the loan mech system as well that would help as well.

Comms are great, but us noobs really need premade free servers to practice in. Until they work out something, please stop bashing the crap out of us.
I had thirty-six matches in a row withour premades on my team, and when on the thirty-seventh, I was put into a server with a group of people that were bashing me all night - they team killed me...
So far, this game has the worst community I have ever seen in online gaming.

Jordache, your last sentence is so right! But be sure, there are also some nice guys. Not me! Of course! 
But there are some, I heard from someone who meet one!

I disagree completely. =)
Stat based match making that will pit new and crappy players against each other is the answer.

I'd love to have something like a training sim, maybe something like 10 or more missions you have to complete on your own or with NPC-team mates, before you can enter a "real" battefield at all.
Furthermore I'd love to play only against PUGs if I decide or am forced to play in a PUG as well.
That would make the start way more enjoyable.
But 3rd person view? For what? Only view I could get used to was something like a rear camera. Seriously, even nowadays cars have some. So why don't these mechs have them as well? 4th millennium engineers suck. xP

2) did I mention a single player room where they can test things? yes oh well needs to be said again anyway.
3)K.I.S.S. you guys in the Dev team should know this. so adding more combat types like 1st and 3rd person is a no no as it does not allow for balance. And if you split the community up it does more harm that it can ever do good. As new players then HAVE TO LEARN more types of combat.
4)A single player room that allows them to test movement, weapons and other little things......Oh did I say this one before?
These 3 things oops I meant 4 would change new player's experience and reduce the learning curve by a lot. If you add the loan mech system as well that would help as well.
