Sorry i was trying to say that if they have 5 accounts in newbie games... that when they do make it to vet games... 4 of the ships will be gone... and they will only have access to 1 ship... so they will go from a lot to do to just 1 account and want more accounts... or will use there 1 account think it is not enough and stop playing...

As a newbie myself, I certianly would have appreciated multiple ships while I played my first game.

Trying the learn the game while restricted to x turns which can be used up in 30 mins is difficult. I would only log on every 2 days or so when I had enought turns for a decent session. If I had 5 ships all of different races then, I would have had a more interesting time. If your going for 5 though why not make it the the full race spectrum? If it's a newbie game....

I think the downside to doing this is, as Canff said, you would get new players used to having 5 accounts with lots of options, ships, races, whatever. Then they advance to the vet game and get just one ship to play with.

Maybe instead of incorporating this mulitple character idea into full newbie games, it could instead be part of a training simulator or tutorial section that new players would have to pass through before they get to start playing for real.

like the idea of a tutorial training simulator.
