This really is an ambitious step forward in keeping new players. I applaud you devs and soe.

Updated OP again.

One thing that could be interesting later on would perhaps be to allow outfits to have simulated battles with each other to train their members.

Oh and VR won't replace the weapon trial system, in case anyone was wondering.

Clegg rocking the PSU shirt :P

Lots of shoutouts to PSU tonight on FNO haha.

The VR training area looks cool. Honestly I'm kinda disappointed that you cannot try out the whole cert tree of items and you can only see the highest level but at least it is something.
