Hi,

How about getting new players to stay by giving them the ability to quickly get into something. Give them 5mil (or some number that makes sense) of skill points to distrabute over their account.

Keep older players happy by also giving them 5mil to spread around their account.

This would be a once off change. So that forever after a new account created gets the 5mil.

Money will spill be a restricting factor for early progression.

Think of it as we all go to school before entering the working world. So we have previous knowledge prior to becoming a capsuleer.

How about instead CCP rebalance T1 frigates and cruisers so that new players can be useful from their first few days and don't need 5m to compete?

Oh wait.

I wish there was a thumbs down button for ideas like this.

but to add some constructive points here 5 million skill points would be a lot to start off with as a little nublet. They can be useful in about 1 hour of training by learning how to fly a tackle frig. I could maybe see starting out with race frig level 3 instead of 2 but just giving them skill points to throw around is a joke.

Yeah, this would not be abused by suicide gankers to make throw away alts at all.
