The tutorial has major issues with the VFX in the hangar and its utilization of using resources properly. Avoid it and learn how to fly via, Electronic Access > Arena Commander > Drone Sim > Vanduul Swarm > Launch with an Aegis Gladius
Yes, you have access to all flyable ships, but often times landing pads are full on Free-flight Weeks. It may be required to EVA to other pads outside.
There are, multiple ICC Probe missions, comm array missions, and one Private Investigator Mission. These are all accessed through the F9 "Mobiglas" menu. From there you can click on the large Missions application, then the circle next to the missions to activate them. This will make a location marker on your HUD. You can also venture to Security Outpost Kareah to grab some weapons and do some FPS PVP.
Most of the fun comes from working with others, open up the chat with F12 and ask if anyone has a multi crew ship you can crew with. With a loaded ship, you can easily complete many comm array missions, or become a criminal by shutting them all down.
The introduction of bounty hunting gives reason to PVP because you are rewarded with weapons and armor if you catch criminals. This is the same for the other side, if you survive as a level 4 criminal, your armor theme changes.
