Newbie Locations

Post by Trigek »

It is easy for vets to say that Newbies should just stay in their racial galaxies and be safe but that notion is not practical when all the important locations are outside those racial galaxies. Generally when you see a newbie die outside the racial galaxies it is cause they are trying to get to some location, most likely a CA.

Newbies should have their own set of locations all within the racial galaxies.

This is such a simple and effective idea, I don't know why it wasn't thought of before.

It requires coding, which is not going to happen right now.

and it will result in bigger alliances getting thier friends to sign up for the sole purpose of purchasing stuff for the non newbie players to transfer them while not worrying about risking life and limb.

You can't transfer ships, weapons, and alignment. You'll have to leave the racials to transfer forces.

There's still too much abuse of italics benefit. I think if we implement newbie games and really help the newbies learn how not to get shot, that would be enough. Otherwise, look at what TITS would have done this game with all the newbies - just sit in racial fed and mine without risk of getting shot in all the racials and the warps to omar.

Agreed. Unbalanced approach.
