Exactly my point.
The attitude displayed in your sig also very well illustrates my point.
p.s: The point was that by the time it takes to buy a battleship, people are much more likely to have been told to **** off and leave the server by members of an official faction instead of having been invited to join an official faction.

You know, basically people could start playing with the noobs instead of against them.
Sadly, this is not a community where this is possible, because too many veteran players have become addicted to the sense of superiority they get from ridiculing and beating up people that have less experience in this computer game than them. It's almost tragic, even more for the game itself and the veteran players than for the noobs, who will just move on to something else and have more fun and lead better lives than them.
You must learn from failure...not whine because of it. None of the community members or the people you call veterans learnt straight from the heavens.
Practise, and if you cant, move on to better prospects of this mod...trading and RP'ing. Who knows who you are, when you are playing your char. None of them know you are a noob.
Just one word, practise. And dont whine about these things here. Because, the people who whined about these kind of imbalance or unjust are just no more, or considered/became the trolling aspects of this community.

You mean like in your sig?

You want an official faction to invite you? Are you special or unique, one of a kind?
And why in the first place would this server need people who are pissed off because they cant buy the biggest ship? Quality over quantity

No, I want official factions to invite new people.
It's amazing how some people here fail to understand the most simple things.

Most factions have recruitment opened. All you need is some imagination for your character and a little understandment about rules to be accepted.

I feel like I'm speaking Chinese.
I don't want to join an official faction. I know how to RP, I know how to PvP, I don't want to fly a battleship.
Read the title of the thread.
My posts say that in order to motivate NEW PEOPLE (not me specifically) to have fun without flying a battleship would be, if official factions taught them to RP better and snub-PvP better. To achieve this, official factions should start recruiting actively, ingame. Asking people to join, inviting them, and not wait for people to learn by themselves and then apply. Because if they wait for that, the new people are more likely to work towards buying a battleship, because they see no other way to have fun here, because they always lose when they fly in snubs, out of lack of skill, and lack of organization.
Do I have to draw a picture?

Here, maybe helping you read the subject of the thread will help you understand.
