' Wrote:And there we go. I absolutely agree with you here - but trading is the wrong approach to this. Especially for a new player. Sure, established people or people who come here and quickly make friends won't have it that bad, they'll try to get into a trading faction or group and then will get some RP along their runs. Trading itself will still be horrible and boring, but at least they get *some* RP.

I think I'll refrain from debating this topic with you, like we already have done so many times in the past xD
Our views on the topic vary too much and we just end up arguing back and forth...

I agree with this part, though:
Quote: * Skip the frustrating Starflea/Rhino phase newbies have to face.

Make it possible to start out as a properly repped character in a HF, Mk1 Freighter or LF of any faction you want (sans the admin-repped ones of course) per FLHook command. Nothing is more frustrating than the first 3 or 4 hours you spend on Discovery, and I wouldn't be astonished if it turns many people away, especially the ones that are here for the RP. It might as well spread people throughout Sirius. I believe NY is mainly as well populated because it's where most players stay when they "grow out" of their 'fleas. Many people attract other people, especially if they all are just one system away from your "birthplace". But if you gave people the possibility of starting out as whatever they want, without having to fly throughout Sirius and do tedious trading and repping first, maybe we'd finally see some more KNF, Blood Dragons, Gallic unlawfuls, etc.

I know that what I proposed here would be a lot of work - but I'm sure there'd be quite a few people willing to work on this (including me). Maybe we *can* fix trading. But we need to start working on it, else, things likely will stay as they are - utterly broken and devoid of anything even remotely resembling fun.
This topic has come up several times in the past, and it's a good one. I'll go look for the last thread which mentioned this, see what became of it.
