This week's update to the FAQ addresses the in-game tutorial available in the game. Here's a piece:
It is our intention to make the game as new player friendly as possible. To this end we are continually focus testing with “non-gamer” people to see where they are having problems. Additionally when creating a character, you will start out in a tutorial on a space station that carefully explains all the important controls and interface options without interference from other players. The tutorial is meant to be a fun and fiction rich experience that players can go through at their own pace. Although it is recommended, advanced players can skip right to the end of the tutorial where you pick your starting city/planet.
You can read the whole shebang here. For those of you that need visual aids, check here out as Verant released new screenshots which show off their in-game help interface.
