Maybe you can help. Where would you have looked for it?
Well since I'm oldschool probably would have looked at the place where it currently is, on the Forums in the Help & Support section.
Well, maybe it could be in it's own section such as New Player Guides.
If I were one of those young and hip people with low patience my first guess would have probably been ingame menu (if I knew very little about Freelancer in general) or the very launcher used to start the game (if I had a clue what possible / probable in Freelancer mods).
The second thing is, in my opinion the current in-game help system is inadequate. I only noticed it after a few days of playing as I wasn't really expecting it to be represented as a star system in the middle of nowhere. So that's actually the first thing that should be improved. Also it's needed to make it obvious where to find help by prominently referring to it in the in game "How to get started" infocard / billboard. After all that is the very first interface to the new players after the "Installing Discovery" tutorial.
I was also thinking, a return of the "Recruit" ID might also be a good idea. I can't seem to recall what info it had a few years ago when I first tried Discovery but it would probably be a good idea to include some oorp info on it, as well some tips on how to behave when interacting with other players and an overall explanation of the ID system and its repercussions.
