2 interconnected ideas

[Lythrilux]

As to the point about not making it a job....keeping a player base supplied is easy? Running a faction?

And about it being unfriendly to noobs... why should a noob walk in and get a rare ship in a few days? The working toward something is one of the best parts of playing the game, its what keeps people here. Plus, since mining, nothing is expensive, you can make enough for a battleship and armor in a few days.

I fully agree with your statement.
While I don't believe in your suggestion fully, i do believe we need an economic overhaul as Kaz suggested.
