Should independents have it harder?

It's not hard to find things to improve in the game to benefit yourself.
Try find things to improve in the game to benefit everyone.

So let's see it here. Making corporate factions more appealing for the players makes players want to join them. Having more players and with existing corporate actions (like ageira deciding to monopolize their products) means more benefits to the corporations. More players also means more income to the corporation, meaning more money to buy ships and give them to the starting players that have the brain to read the rules and contribute but have no money to start with. They can find a corporation that will teach them how to roleplay and give them a push in their start of discovery fl.
By doing this, new player also contributes in meeting new players - his wingmates, or in this case his convoy mates. People talk while in convoys about many things, form friendships and form future interactions without bad feelings between each others, something that doesn't happen so often.
With all this, comes a new thing, actually involving other players in the game of the corporation. Mercenaries or people that corporation hires to do those illegal things corporations certainly do. Getting rid of competitions, controling that monopoly the corporation issued on their... boron..

This involves other corporations to roleplay with the same corp, forming the bigger convoys, attracting more pirates to the location, pirates that stumble upon a challenge. Few ships in convoy and an escort. Something a lone gunboat can't take alone. he's forced to join up with other indy pirates, bringing them together against a common plunder target, offering even more roleplay about the said situation.

That player from the start, finally grows up and manages to save some cash for his personal ship, that will probably be pirate or mercenary to experience the other side, he knows he can't make it alone, he'll find a corporation or form a corporation of pirates with friends he's met in his convoys, interacting with them.

OH MY GOD, I AM SO FRIKKIN SELFISH, HOW DARE I PROMOTE ROLEPLAY!
