Playing as a human or cyborg lacks any of those qualities, and making mistakes because you don't know what the hell you're doing is to be expected.
I don't mean to say that the idea of a tutorial isn't a good idea, I think it's a pretty damn cool idea! But I don't think it's a necessary idea, or one that should be on the same level as the blob tutorial or an entire tutorial ship. Maybe just add a little disclaimer at that start-up menu that's like "Yo here's a link to a wiki article that teaches you how to play this shit if you don't know how to play this shit" or something of the sort, maybe a pop-up for first-time players giving them a basic rundown of the controls, something small like that fits this purpose well enough.
