ICMG and some friends are thinking of holding an event for newcomers to Discovery.
Basically, I'll help you set up a new character, equip it up quickly with stuff you'll need, then get you a mid-level mining ship. Then we'll take you mining in a hopefully remote/safe-ish spot nearby to Liberty, so you can earn a bit of cash/learn how to mine/ask questions/Roleplay etc.
P.S. Moderators: sorry if this post isn't appropriate in this section, just thought it was the most likely place to be spotted by new people, seeming as it's aimed at helping them get started.
