Public Newcomer Helper Log Thread

[aerelm]

[font=Book Antiqua]Was on my Angels for 2 Hours on and off.
First, Got contacted by someone I had helped a few days ago,
And he was thanking me for the help. Seems he had got a new
Ship and is Happy with it. Meanwhile, a Junker contacted me
with a Question about trading between Gallia and Sirius.
I gave him a few tips and then he asked for Sell points
of a few commodities, which I answered.

Another person was curios if there is any command that
shows him list of Slovakian Players! Well, Answer to that one
was pretty obvious! Meanwhile, someone contacted me and
seemed like the one he wanted to attack was trying to
Rules-Lawyer his way out of the Situation, but Although there
was nothing wrong with the case, The attacker wanted to make
sure before opening fire. After this, I lingered around for a while,
and seeing it was all quiet, decided to take a break.

Later, went on my Alpha Angel to help a friend transfer some
Equipment, and decided to linger around cause Alpha was
more or less crowded. Among the crowd, there was an
Outcast IDed Tridente which had Bundschuh IFF.

Well, Seems he didn't have Bundschuh on his Rep Sheet,
and refused to /droprep when I told him to. He was afraid
to loose Rep with Outcasts, because that was the Highest
Rep on his Sheet... It took me a good 15 minutes to tell
him why a simply /droprep would fix his problem, and gladly,
he was convinced in the end and docked to do a dropred
but seems he didn't relog although I told him to. His IFF will
be fixed the next time he logs in, Hopefully!

Then, moved to Pennsy. First, someone had problem with
/movechar, So, I told him to set the MoveCode again and
seems it fixed the problem. Meanwhile, someone was
looking for a good Trade ship with Junker ID and IFF.
His only problem was the price of the Ships, so I
suggested some 2k Ships for him, which fits the
Junker Ship use restrictions as well.

Also, Scanning the nearby Ships causally, I noticed a
Researcher IDed Heron, trading Neon, which is not allowed
according to the ID Restrictions. So, I pointed that out
and he docked to change his ID by getting a temporary
Freelancer ID so he can change to Indie Trader later.

Then, things got a bit out of hand when someone told
another person in System Chat that they can't use Civi ID
after being lvl30 and I had to point out that the rule is
changed and the infocard is outdated, and there is no problem
with having Civilian ID after reaching level 30.

After that, I met a new player who despite being new, had read
enough about Discovery to know how things work around here,
so I directed him to Forums and told him about Registering
and also about making a thread in Welcome Section.

Later, someone contacted me from Gamma, so seeing Pennsy
was rather quiet, I decided to go there and then answer his
question. Seems he wanted to change from Order to Corsair,
but the Repninja on Order ID didn't let him take any missions
and he couldn't buy Recruit ID because he was flying a Hathor
(which he was planning to trade in for a Imperator)
So, I suggested he docks at Tripoli and buys a recruit ID, then
ask a friend to do missions for him while he's still docked.
So he can get enough rep and buy Corsair ID and Ship without
being seen with Recruit IDed Hathor doing Corsair Missions!

Last one was a level 16 Player with leet terms in his Char Name,
and gladly, when I asked him to make a new Char, he listened
and made a char with understandable Name.

After that, I moved to Minor, but seeing everything is quiet and
PMs were getting silent too, I decided to call it a shift and logged.
