Not sure if it's been suggested or not, but I think that when a new character is made, when choosing things like military or miners that said character should be put into a ship relevant. An amarr military pilot should be given a T1 fitted cruiser and then an indepth tutorial about why it's fitted like that, explain what each module does, and then suggest what they should train for next. And a miner should have a procurer fitted and have some basic refining skills that should also have an indepth tutorial about how that works. I believe that new chars should start with about 1-2 million sp that's allocated for them based on what career path they have chosen, as starting off with 55k is crap and finding out you need to train for like 2-3 months to be able to play properly is really bad. They should also automatically have a faster training time for a limited period to allow chars to be able to use T2 mods sooner etc.
I had a RL friend that tried EVE and he couldnt get his head around it all because he felt like he was thrown in the deep end, and quit playing because he tried to do missions and died. A lot of the time i had to buy him ships and fit it for him because it was so unclear how to fit it properly and didn't understand how to tank a ship, what modules he should be using for that ship and why this ship uses different mods to another ship. He soon gave up because it was too much of a headache for him, he ended up with a half fitted cormorant with lasers, shield and armor mods. I did laugh when he showed me the fit, but it was because he couldnt use a lot of mods and didn't know what to train for. Oh and for good measure he got suicide ganked while trying to move system to do a mission, so he had nothing till I would be online to help him out. EVE is so unfriendly to new players and raising the amount of sp they start off with is a good start, but way more needs to be done, I had help from a RL friend when i first started playing EVE years ago and I'm only been playing because of that, otherwise I would have given up because it was pretty difficult to learn everything.
