Do we need more players?

[Anaximander]

We might have made it easier than ever for new players rules-wise, but I think as a community we're too abrasive (yes, more than ever) and we lose a considerable amount of new players that way. I mean new players can't even ask what ship is good without getting the g'damn "REMEMBER THIS IS RP SERVER RPRPRRPRPRPRPRPRRPRPRP" stuck down their throat. We should relax more as a community and show a bit more confidence and trust in one another, even towards new players.
