I figured I would create a thread to list all the different training and beginner missions available on Arkadia. They have also been added to the Mission Tracker. I got these within the Repusle Firebase Academy, but I guess they can be found at other firebases as well. I listed them in alphabetical order, with the exception of the first two, which are the first ones you probably will encounter.

Nice one Peter ... I really found the comprehensiveness of the training areas to be incredible. It's the same at the Relentless Firebase Academy, but haven't seen the training environment at Dependable or Implacable, which are the other two firebases I have so far. If I recall correctly, Dave said there would be 2 or 3 newbie areas to make sure that a server issue wouldn't put a new player into an area that didn't support beginners. This was a brilliant move on his part, and I love his second step mentality with how he approached developing his planet. Be interesting to see if there is one more base like this ... I found training at the 2 firebase TP's we were given at the start ... Relentless and Resolute.
The only one that gave me a reward was the PTech Mining Instruction mission, which apparently yieds Perception. Judging from the wording, it does seem as if the INF hunting mission is supposed to give some reward as well, but if it does, I did not see a note in my log. I can check my log and screenshots again, though.
yup red blobby spots are all firebases consisting out of 2 teleporter each, the map currently has 50 total teleporters that are discovered so far (yes i got ehm all lol) the attack puny thingys is rewarded ahead by a gun worth 15 pec after the training missions u are lead to the fire base which contains the oro chalange rewarded by several skills for completing each stage (when i typed this was busy on stage 4 4800 oro mobs :D)
