Public Newcomer Helper Log Thread

[font=Book Antiqua]Despite feeling a bit sick, pulled a 1 Hour shift today.
I was on another Char when I heard someone saying he can't buy a Ship
because it says he doesn't have the Correct ID. So, went on my Angel to
help him out. I answered his Question and also told him about Tech Chart.

Then, someone PMed me with a question about "Police -" in front of his name.
So, I told him about IFFs, Rep Sheet, and how to use /droprep if needed.

Meanwhile, Someone was asking how can he transfer Equipment between two
of his Chars. I answered him, and seems his Friend had a question as well.
He had to reinstall Windows and had lost his old account, and he was asking
if there is any way to get his chars back. I directed him to the Forums and
told him to make a thread and ask Admins nicely.

Later, I moved to Liberty. Everyone were busy working, so there weren't
many questions in System or Local Chat. Still, gave someone a tip about
Weapons Loadout and using Groups. Noticed a Freelancer who had Gallic
Civilian Guns on his Ship, and a Smuggler with Outcast Guns.
Told them both about Tech Chart Restrictions, and they both decided to
get Sirius Civilian Guns instead to be on safe side of the Rules.

Also, Someone was curios what the "Cloaking Device" Message was,
so I told him about disconnecting, and the consequences it will have
for him if he tries to use it to escape any Player Interaction.
Same Person was curios if he has to register the Gunboat he wanted
to buy, On forum, so I told him that it's completely Optional and
only for pushing the level of RP Up, then directed him to the related
Thread on the Forums, so he can register his Gunboat once he has it.

In the End, when I was returning to Erie, I got contacted by someone
who was curios if /restart corsair will help him in repping his Order
ship easier. I told him about the current RP situation between
Corsairs and The Order, and also pointed out that the Corsair
Restart will put him to Hostile with many factions that Order
has more of a 'Neutral/Friendly' Stance toward.
Realizing that, he decided to make his char with /restart Liberty
and get help from the OCV- to Rep it for him.

Then I got poked by BHG| to get on my Manta to go raid Alpha,
And seeing everything is quiet, I decided to jump on that Ship.

Later On, I pulled a small 'Quick Shift' when I heard about an [Admin]
tagged ship named AofE in Taus... Thinking it's some random newbie
who doesn't know what's he's doing, I got on my Angel, but soon
turned, the 'AofE' out to be 'A'gmen 'of' 'E'ladesor...!
Well... Seeing that it was settled, I lingered around Alpha for a while
but seems everyone were just recovering from the BHG/CR Raid
earlier

Also, a while later when I went back to Alpha, I noticed too many
familiar names from our Alpha Raid on my Scanners, and although
all of them had either died or fled, they were back to System in less
than 4 hours. So, I had to interrupt the System Chats for a minute to
Explain the 4 Hours Rules, and then asked them to leave the System.

Gladly, All of them listened & either moved to other Systems or Logged.
