Just a little side note from what i have seen in the past time:
a lot of new players really dont care what about are you talking to them, they dont even respond back, they dont even respond back in PM, they dont have skype to get organized with you (you cannot even imagine the ammount of PMs i have sent to "our" ships to get organized, they dont want to download/have one installation of skype in the future, they dont speak good english or understand written english (not an offence - but your english is sometimes not very understandable too)
and the same goes for some "older" players (MNS tagged as well)
But i wish you luck with whatever you think is good, when it will bring some organization into the chaos.
