I wanted to make a thread in flood with something along the lines of "Remember when you were new?" but this is sort of sad.
Come on, brainstorm time. Best way to tell new players that caps are not the ''best ship'' or ''goal'' for Disco.

I tell them:
BS is not worth buying it. [give random reasons here]
But: I know you will buy one anyway.
Therefore: remember to have enough money to buy a CAU6 with it, or you will be frustrated. And: go for a Rheinland or Liberty BS because there are regular fights.
It seems that some mistakes just have to be made by everybody.
