Yes, Jinx has the strong point here although there are some major flaws in it actually. If that said person follows the rules of the game that go: "first ID then ship" he should be doing few missions in the space where there are RM. Lets say, he does have a job and he's your average newbie joe and he has 2 hours a day to play. Lets say he's started to take few missions and he's seen flying trough the space. I'ld say that he should probably meet few of the Rm fellows who should explain the "do's" and "don'ts" to him and even if they are somehow missed, he should, if he's a roleplayer as jinx says - notice them.
If not when flying his ship and doing missions, then when flying in his trader doing the profit runs to earn his lovely ship.
I know it sounds bit far fetched, but seriously, they don't sprout over the night just like that. All players that are long enough around to trade for the ships are long enough to get introduced to forums or to some faction or to the general rp rules around.
Then ofcourse, you have those silent types that get their train, and then do millions of runs, don't talk to anyone, dont respond to piracy, don't respond to officials, they seem like bots, and then they get the ship as well. And then they complain.
And then they start a thread about it although their trader is the most silent guy in the space and rather choses death than paying up some loot or cash. And then their topic turns to 8 pages of flames with 1 page of links where he actually wrote a story. Hypocrites.
To sum it up, forum could be bit more user friendly, but so should the new people.
Thats exactly why I proposed that the LSF or ANY liberty organisation actually PAYS newbies cash for answering the forum rules questions correctly, for doing missions for getting their first fighter and everything like that. Yes, it costs, yes it costs at least 20mil a week or more, but hell.. I'ld donate and I'm sure alot of people here would just to get the trial by forum posts removed from here.
Education people - it's the basis of good behavior and making friends.
