The brand new player experience

[moebus]

Hi, welcome!

(a short answer because I lack time)

First, it's a reality that we have two main types of players on the server. Those from video games and those from face-to-face roleplaying games. As I see it, they don't have the same idea of what means roleplay. They don't have the same expectations and it causes some frustration from time to time. Like you I am also coming from the face-to-face RPG and I am looking for those type of players. I am not really interested in PVP (not good at that, have a ping > 100, and more important most of my ships don't have guns)

Second, it's true that new players are usually in deep need of credits to buy new equipment. For that reason, they may powertrade and neglect roleplay. However, I've seen some new players mining/trading in groups in Pennsylvania. It's probably more efficient and certainly more pleasant since you can roleplay at the same time. One suggestion, check call for traders regularly posted on the forums because this might be a significant source of credits (you get the credits from trading + a reward specified in the contract) and also the opportunity to meet older players (while flying with them you can have some great roleplay interactions). If you are doing good in these trade convoys, you might receive an extra reward from these players (1 or 2 million credits is nothing for them).

For your info, there are actually some trade convoys to Planet Gran Canaria (contact OSI, a zoner faction, for more info) and Freeport 11 (contact The Seraphim, another zoner group, or IMG, for more info).
