Ashie,

A thought just popped in. About a year or so ago, the two top trading factions were Gateway and RepEx. You could go in game and always see some of their ships. One of the reasons for Gateway's success back when Trev was running it was he actively recruited brand new Disco players.

He took it upon himself to have Gateway be the defacto faction that nubs could go to to get started. I haven't seen any faction take on that responsibility with any success since then. Key was that Gateway always had a ship in game that a player could contact and get setup with. Gateway members had keys to bank and knew the setup procedure. Good trade routes were spelled out in the message dump and/or faction status page. Bottomline, it was easy for a new player to get started in Gateway.

Be cool if Planetform could fill that void in our community. But it's a responsibility and not sure if you guys have the infrastructure and activity to be effective in that role. Worth pondering though.
