So, I did the New Tutorial recently and I must say that while being the same story, it flows much smoother than before. I can't quite put my finger on what it was that had changed (besides the obvious things like the bridge) but it all felt more cohesive.
I did miss the Quinto voice overs telling me about the dangers and explaining things like destroying objects doing damage. The devs really shouldn't have dropped those voice overs. Those relayed useful information and though I can read the tips it really felt better when there was a voice telling me what to do. But then they kept the most annoying voice over congratulating me and suggesting that I may look on an EMH as a father figure. Really, those congratulations should come from Admiral Quinn if anybody, not the EMH. And it felt really out of place since he hadn't been talking to me since I left the makeshift sick bay in the cargo hold.
Overall I think the devs (Gozer?) did a great job updating the Tutorial for the F2P launch. My only suggestion is to reinstate the voice overs throughout explaining the little things and ditch the voice over at the end in exchange for a more tied-in congratulations from Admiral Quinn.
I like many disagree with you on the voiceovers. Quinto did a horrible job, and many of us would be happy to have his voice gone completely from the game.

Oh, I agree. The voice overs are bad. But why get rid of the ones that are useful and keep the one that is actually the worst part, the whole "Congratulations, Ensign! With my help you were able complete your mission. Now you should revere me as a father figure." part? I mean, that's just a stupid thing for an EMH to say in the first place and without the voice over tips it seems completely out of place when you reach Earth Spacedock.
