I like your number 10 Astraea, not sure about random respawn and whether that is possible, but I seem to recall someone suggesting a new player start system. this would exist outside RP, and have Jumpholes to each of the main houses for new players to take. Apart from the ability to aid new players into the game, it would aid in the spread of players, as newbies don't just simply fly straight into Liberty but can go anywhere. And for those who say the restarts solve this issue, I would say that for the completely new player who isn't entirely sure where they want to start off, has no idea what factions to join, the temptation to just leap into the first one they approach would be quite high. I know it was for me when I started playing.
