Sonoshee, most of the factions are taking in new players irrespective of their relative fresh backgrounds. There are many players, whose first or second post in the forums is that of a recruitment post in either an official faction or unofficial one. I can point out names, IC does it, Gateway does it, IMG recruits people who are in game and flying without a proper direction or guidance, JM recruits new people...pretty much every faction recruits people if they are capable of writing out a recruitment post inRP. I remember that my first recruitment post was a OORP one for VR, and it got rejected,
It didnt end there. Kaz PM'ed me on how to write a recruitment post and what things you need to know before choosing and applying for a faction. Its just a matter of time, for you to self realise those things and join a faction, or attempt and people will automatically help you out. Once you get into an official faction, there are a lot of things to learn, things that other members will teach, on a trial by trial basis, or depending on the situation, you will learn many things yourself.
As for the main post, there is nothing that can be done effectively to help out the new people who think that BS are the only big things in game and go on asking people to give them money. It all depends on the attitude of the player who is on the receiving end of such queries. If he is glad to help out the player with advices regarding good trade routes and is willing to offer some other help, fine. The new one should also be in a position to accept the advice and work accordingly, instead of insulting the one who is actually trying to help him.
Another thing could be making the Angels a bit more active, but that has been pretty much discussed already. Maybe there should be some text log of Dos and Donts in the cargo hold for new players, like there is a Welcome notice and other 2 notices in the cargo hold.
