Making the wrong impression on new players

[Chico]

I didn't give money.
I gave information. It involved the best trade routes and the bases where good trade ships can be bought. I also told them that artifacts were fantastic and Cardamine was the tool of the devil (surprised?). Where to buy artifacts and how many creds you could make in one run. I may have even run interference for some....

Giving credits may make you feel very charitable but it just generally leads to people begging/expecting it. Part of the magic for me, the thing that kept me here so long was the discovery part of Disco. I always aimed to give the newer folk the same experience of wonder and awe that I had, rather than hand it to them on a plate. Make them feel attached to their character. Experience the new with that character. The one they always associate themselves with.
