Helping out the little guy

[elgeeko]

I like this idea alot because rather than dropping a fair bit of money on some player you take pity on who then has a 50/50 chance of growing up to be a 'lolwutting' 'capwhore'...

You get the chance to 'apprentice' them so to speak, as well as introduce them to the community, speak on their behalf if they make little mistakes, help them to learn the unspoken 'rules' and get a feel for things.

Sure I guess people could still 'rough it' up through the ranks, but this provides a nice alternative option methinks.

Drat. I wish I didn't have to be the little guy to get hired as an escort pilot. *sigh* no one ever hires lone Griffin pilots I guess... oh well. :laugh:

Bravo and kudos for a great Idea that gives something back to the community in a fantastic way!

As another idea, maybe a non-lawful person could set up shop in a similar fashion.
Act as a Generic pirate helping other 'cast-off's' to earn their place in the pirating/smuggling world so that they can become full fledged independent pirates or even eventually pick a faction.

The new guy's "gateway to the pirates life."

This person could help them set up a basic pirate ship and help them learn to Pirate or smuggle well with good solid RP, introduce them to other player-pirates, as well as helping them through the struggle that is getting to be an unlawful. (IE pay for some bribes etc)

I'd volunteer but for lack of both time and funds. I'm all tied up modding. :P
