Can we make the new game tutorials optional without skipping?

I'd really like to go back to how Elite Frontiers started. Choice of system, no tutorials. I regularly restart my commander over, and every time this just plays with my immersion. Keep the ground / flight assessment in the tutorial section and just let me start the game. Give me a crappy sidewinder and 1000c in some random system and let me go. Starting with 250,000C in Odyssey is way too much. The start of this game is the worst thing about it.

Maybe at the start, give the player an option from a few start systems. Maybe one or two from each superpower. Less experienced, new players can do the tutorials from the tutorial menu. I know you can skip the tutorials, but it'd be way better if you didn't have to from a role playing perspective.

Wow 250kCr?

I have never reset my save but I agree you should be able to jump straight in, I found the initial tutorial when Odyssey launched to be quite irritating & would have preferred the option to just continue my game.

Your request seems reasonable, and the game should be able to at least differentiate a cleared save from a new account.

You are talking about the game start for just Odyssey right? I was more or less given a Sidewinder and 1000 credits when i started Horizons a few weeks back.

When my wife started directly with odyssey in December, she only had the sidewinder and 1000 CR.
Don't know where those 250k are coming from...
Did she made the tutorials? Well yea she wanted to, but several bugs, which are still there, made her rage quit and skipped the tutorials.

There are only 3(?) Starter Systems and they are there for a reason (once you leave the system, you can't go back because of all the gankers...)

Yeah, Odyssey has you start with 250k, and it's always in the same system. Horizons has everyone start in the Pilot's Fed, which is ok, because it's close to Empirical and Fed systems. But, again it's a tutorial type set of systems. Odyssey has you start very far away from any Empire controlled systems with enough credits to nearly fully upgrade your sidewinder, or buy an Eagle straight up without having to earn it.

Ok well that does sound....erm unfinished? Not a great way to launch your deep epic Elite journey i would say.
