' Wrote:Counter-point owing from something that happened to me - When I first installed Disco and tried to play the SP component, it started me on Planet Gammu in Omicron Kappa, in a Starflier, and yes I was still hostile to Nomads.
it's a simple change you make when installing the mod.
and yeah it would be amazingly simple to start new characters on a base/planet elsewhere, and would be fantastic to spread players out, but the problem is, Pennsylvania is set up as a newb system, with prices to match, so is all of Liberty, with low level NPC's, and most bases selling cheap low level equipment.
say, we start new players on planet new berlin, you still have a starflyer and 8,500 credits and such, but the pirates are flying around in stilleto's, hawks and falcons, and god forbid you want to play unlawful, you have Valkyries firing on you.
so you try do some missions and struggle through it with your 2 justice MK1's, fitting starblazers because the lowest level hornviper is class 6(i think?) and wont mount on your starflea.
somehow you need to get ~$30,000 to get a banshee, quite a difference from most new players step up into a defender.
Want to play a trading character to get money? again ~$48,000 to step into that.
so what do you do? move to NY where it's easier to start up!
would be good idea, but because of vanilla freelancer, would make it immensely hard on new players
