Thoughts about Indies...

[Cellulanus]

The way I see it, the indie problem is actually quite simple:


The problem with indies is that they fly alone and don't learn much or anything about the RP of the server because there is no one there to teach them it, unless they get lucky and stumble across a knowledgeable player who isn't busy and is willing to teach them. (And the Angels can't help everyone)

In addition, since many come from other environments and servers do not have a server that operates like this one they may even be intimidated by said environment, encouraging them to join up with similar people which simply makes the matter worse.

The way I see it, the most logical answer to this is to have new pilots make their first character a part of a faction where they can be educated by the veterans on the RP, what is acceptable and what not, just to get their feet on the ground.


This is of course, assuming that the trouble makers are simply ignorant players that are relatively new and not simply trolls.
