The number one thing that puts people off orbiter is the steep learning curve. Even though there's tutorials like Go Play In Space to break it up a bit, lots of people still don't like it.
So, how about we use the next version's Lua player to make an interactive tutorial? It could start from the basics, all the way up to complicated manoeuvres. Also, it could tell you where you've gone wrong on the fly, rather than ending up 3 AU from the destination and not knowing why.

What d'ya think?

Make it.
Find someone to make it.
Hope someone will make it.
Forfeit the chance someone will ever make it.

Been there, seen that. Good luck to Lua, scripting take 2!
