New Players - Tutorial/Career Agents!

I recently ran across a player who needed help with one of the Career Agent Missions (Introduction to Cosmic Signatures), and since I happened to be in his area, decided I'd scoot on over to lend him a hand with it.

In the course of my actions while helping him, I discovered what I felt would be some very good options to 'fix' the mission to make it more 'noob friendly'. I feel that these ideas can even be extended to other Career Agent Missions to make them all less apt to confuse our future fellow members!

This particular Career Agent was one of the Minmatar agents, in Couster system.

When first given the mission, the player is told to head to the site and contact the agent on grid for further details.

This first mission window should include details to inform a player unfamiliar with Encounter Sites to Undock, Right Click in Space, etc.

Next up, landing on grid.

There is both an Acceleration Gate, & an Agent in space.
- first problem... the Agent is NOT interactable! He should be interactable to inform the player to make use of the Acceleration Gate! (after all, this may be the first mission the player has come across that uses one!)

just to double check, I made use of the gate to warp into the second room. At this point, there is a pop up window by defualt to explain to the player how to continue, and I presume from such in the following rooms as well. This message was well detailed enough to not need further work. (And I presumed from this that the following ones would be all right, too.)

Please feel free to add your own thoughts, AND experiences, with helping noobs!
