I think that training should be connected to the academy. Maybe you're sent to a nearby (small) island for training, although I think it's a lot easier on modelers to have training done in the academy.

In the hub you're joining the explorer's guild. If you return, then there should be sections where you connect the dots and talk with various NPCs. Maybe there's something hiding on the hub for you to find part way through? Other than that, the Hub should be of minor importance for storyline in my opinion. I think it's a good place to have a lot of random quests for delivery/acquisition - some NPC needs something from some island, etc...

Do you mean missions where you drive vehicles? I don't see why there should be an enemy on the hub. I'd rather that there isn't.
