Here I am thinking 100-200k is a nice amount to receive when you are starting out and you guys are talking 1 mill plus.
For those of us with credits to burn, I guess a million credits is almost the proverbial 'drop in a bucket'.
I do the same, 100k -200k. I think the danger with giving anymore to a new player might well 'upset' them or spoil their fun. Not everyone wants a load of credits instantly and there are still some players who enjoy starting from scratch and building up a character, earning credits and buying a better ship etc.
I actually enjoyed my first visit to disco and the buzz of starting from scratch and discovering new things. I got a buzz from being able to afford a bigger ship or a new piece of kit.
I think giving 15m or even 2m to someone, especially anonymous can take that fun away
There are of cause those new players who want a big transport straight away and 'bug' the high level players for millions. To them I give nowt!
