Hey there, I am not sure if the suggestion below is already a thing for you, if it is, nevermind
So after the event is over I see that the numerous players going that were going all over Sirius is shrinking again and the mass is found in Liberty once again, especially since we have many new players coming at the moment which is great. But of course this leads to the activity being focused on Liberty again while other houses suffer from very low activity, now, of course, this is nothing new and this is also somehow nothing but a 'change pls' thread but I think it can't be poked more often until something is done. Angels should concentrate on recommending new players more factions outside of Liberty, all I see is a new LNS ship almost every day, the Liberty Navy (Indie as well as official [LN]) is pretty much the go-to factions if you're a starter, new players tend to buy a Liberty capital ship as their first non-trading ship pretty often, considering the about 30 LNS indies that were active over 1 hour this month. More notifications regarding faction recommendations instead of blurring in PvP rules every 10 minutes or so could also be a start, even if these things only change that a slight bit at least it would be something. I am not saying we should tell players where they have to go and where not but actively advertising all sorts of factions around Sirius. Another try would actually be to put the starter system somewhere else, probably the solution nobody would like but it would automatically solve the activity problem unless if players are so desperate for Liberty that they fly there manually but in this case we would at least see the players that actually want to be there and the players that are just there because "well, I spawned here", I'd really like to see opinions and recommendations about this because I doubt this can go on forever, Rheinland and Kusari factions are staring at an empty house space while Liberty has 25% of all server activity in a month and it's drowning in people, the starter system thing is nothing the angels can do though.
I agree, several new players coming recently. Im constantly in Pennsylvania giving them a hand and after earning their first coins, doing convoys to another systems. Constantly recomending another more profiteable comodities for mining being part of a miner faction (if they like mining) or just trading along all sirius. My common sentence "buy cheap here, sell expensive far away" hahahaha.
Also agree, several new pilots buying Liberty capitals, but I also recomend others houses for Battleships. But due the HUGE increase of unlawfuls in Liberty, we need also a lot of forces for protect the new tradders. Also there are a lot of new unlawfuls (pirates) demaning REALLY HUGE amount of credits from people who is just starting...
About starting in another place, would be a BAD idea. New players must be close to middle for allow them to explore easly all other systems around. Starting in a far away place, where nobody is... will avoid their desire to remain due the lack of activity.
Anyway... If you see me In pennsylvania, contact me with all new ideas for new players, everything interesting is more than welcome!
EDIT: Hm... i cant find the place about ideas for REstarts, but would be good, if the "/restart beginner" add 2 more light mining arrays, in slots 3,4, 7 and 8.

Good to hear that you help them out, about your point above, since every new player would spawn there, there would never be nobody to interact with, that's the point, let them start at New Tokyo or New Berlin, there WILL be more players then no matter what.

Would be not bad idea... always if there are people there for help them hehehe. I was thinking in the posibility of random newbie spawn, creating a new character, randomize spawn in Liberty, Rheinland, Kusari or Bretonia, but still same problem, new players have not much info in the beginning. Only if they register in forums, find the guides and follow them but still here another problem I found recently. Several of them, NEVER played the game before and have no idea about basic questions for the registration, like how is the name of the main game character, the base name of the final mission... those question who never played the game before is impossible to know, there is where im get in action! hahahaha.
As a trial [Angels] member, I need to say that the job as a Angel is mostly, sitting in Pennsyl, and waiting for someone that maybe has a question. Mostly, you are just sitting around, waiting, watching youtube videos, playing another game on your second monitor amd waiting that someone finally has a question.
We can't do any traderuns with our Angel ship, and that is not even our Job. We can suggest traderoutes, but when they want to fly in groups, they should join a official faction.
The Angel job isn't like that you are getting 1000 questions when you log in, mostly you are getting around 3-4 questions in 3-5 hours.

I know it, that is how Angels works hehe, and in my experience... that way isnt so useful at all hahahaha. Usually its me who do the first step asking in private if he need help and suggesting about to use "/restart beginner", and 99% times, they actually need help hahahaha.
Think, several new players dont read o much... even that green message about Angels there for help hahaha (too lazy newbies? lol) I say it because after gave them some guides, I advise about tagged ships as [Angels] are for help, they can feel free for ask them all they needs... always their response is "good to know! thanks!" that means... they didnt read.
For Angels, I just suggest, if you see a lvl14 ship in a stargazer, who move side to side... shoot 3 times... its a good evidence he is "testing" how it works, its a good moment for offer your help instead just waiting a miracle if they readed "Angels are there for help" hahahahaha.
But lets be realistic... Angels are not really often around, not enough for the new players amount, but hey... its a pleasure for me to be there! seriously!
