I highly doubt that.
Why?
Quite simple- new players are nubs in PvP- they cannot make your day worse even if they bring all the caps in the world. Single light bomber can solo nub cruiser. Not to mention that 90% of the nubs have no armour or no bots or terrible setup or no general idea how to use their ship.For battlesihps you need 2 bombers.
It is not the new players that mega- gank and ruin your fun.
Gankers are mostly medium skilled players that are around for at least 6 months or 1 year.
The only problem as I said is the lack of consequences when you die,not ganking, caps snubs or whatever.
Ganking is viable nowadays tactic- with the lack of ancient cruise rule and 10k rule in theory good organised group of ships with good pilots cannot die,if it is bot supplied properly. I was once in situation where in single bomber I managed to bore to death 4-5 fighters ganking me with the help of 2 cloaked transports that were bot feeding me on turns, they just brought more bots then the fighters were able to remove from my hull.
Unless extremely ganked and even if they die nothing happens to them in order to be in the same situation 2 hours after. If you does not like it does not blame the people blame the system.
It is like the bomber TS/Zoom bug- it is there devs fixed it once, then forgot about it on the next beta realise and we all ended in the final 4.86 for more then 1 year till now with autoaiming TSing snac bombers that can win vs even the best PvPers using only bomber energy guns. The people that abuse this are indeed lolwuts, but they are not to blame because the devs gave them the option purely legal and they use it. You are knocking at the wrong door so to say. The only good thing here is that there are not many that are skilled enough to use bomber in TS mode properly, otherwise we could have ended with unjustified and stupid bomber nerf like the cloaks nerf.
With the old you cruise you die there was not so much ganking or bot feeding, there are many and easy ways to use the game mechanics to fix this kind of issues.
You rage most against caps because you can feel it there much easier, half skilled BS needs 3 bombers, same GB and Cruiser. If GB and Cruiser are skilled they need more. So if there are bunch of them you suddenly need 10-12 snubs to deal with them. The numbers difference makes it for you so you find caps pilots guilty, like there are no 10 to 1 snub ganks....
Also the most idiotic argument is that indies are nubs and faction players are perfect- both gank a lot, faction gankers are even worse because they are more organised-also it is not like any group indies or factions have other choice then to gank- see up for the bot feeding..
Also does not think that behind this "indie caps" does not stay the same guy that play in several factions. Also the same group of people knows what ship is overpowered and they flock to it- tons of examples- Bottlenose, Cougar, Asco and other similar. It is not like that the overpowered ships cannot be rebalanced and fixed instead of waiting 1-2 years for the new realise or mod version, Cannons autoupdater is there for a reason.
In general again you are knocking at the wrong door.
