CCP, any new player that actually wants to play Eve will play regardless of all the boosts you're giving them. Instead you should concentrate on older players that have been loyal to you for all this time. Make sure they're happy and they will keep playing and spreading the word. My friends that used to play Eve are all playing Star Citizen. You guys need to add something special and I'll bring my budds back. There's no, "wow factor", or that sense of awe anymore. All you guys are trying to do is sell ship skins.

I like newbros just as much as the next guy. I'm saying if CCP took care of their older players that would help us get new bros too.

They're playing Star Citizen?

How?

I mean the game isn't out. There isn't even a game. It's just people paying into the kickstarter for the promise that maybe someday there will be a game. Which is doubtful.

Do you mean that they've donated thousands of dollars and are "backers"? Heh heh heh.

Well, there's definitely something out because they're dogfighting in space. I don't think they spent much money on it though. I'm not sure, I'll have to ask them.

Dog fighting in space?

How does that work then? You fire a pitbull out of the missile launcher?

If they are like CCP you'll start with a Chihuahua and have to spend the next 12 years training skills in animal husbandry before you can unlock Rottweillers, which will be like officer mods and get you ganked by a overpowered pack of stray romanian street dogs.

There's no school like the old school and I've been expelled.

I want something! Gimme! Gimme!

Is it 2017 already? Or, do your friends live in a timewarp?

There just isn't anything that can be said!

Personally I like the SP boost to new players, it gives more options than they had before to do and explore. We need new players; and yea what Ralph King-Griffin said, newbies have more starting firepower :3

Scared of the newbies now that they start with a lil more? :3 -runs off-
