Simple Mechanics Tutorial in SP #12

This is definitely a 0.2 feature, so it's in the backlog for now. I'd like to use this issue to collate and determine what we'd want to include in a short tutorial.

Flight Mechanics and Controls
Gear Differences
Ship Class Differences
Basic Loops + Reward Systems

This is obviously a bit reductive as there's a ton to learn, but it would be good to get anything I've missed down now, before I start work on this system down the line.

@Beaglerush I'd appreciate any input you have here. This would just be something basic to introduce new players to the mechanics consequence-free before diving into the server. Nothing narrative planned just yet!

I'd want to do it as everything you have to know in your first flight out and back including shops and equipment - my brain has a hard time knowing what that'd be like 'til we get there, so I'd like to come back around on this when we start to work on it and then play through the game from new character to an hour in and note down every single thing that I do, then include it in a tutorial

I strongly recommend we grab an interested playtester who hasn't yet played bmod and observe them for an hour or two and base it on that. There are a number of mechanics we might be aware of already that they aren't and which we would therefore forget.
