When I'm in my Angel char, I get repeated requests from new Discovery players about which trading faction to join. They want to get started quickly and fly with a group of friendly people.
Gateway, RepEx, and TAZ seem to be the most active in game. Who should I send the new players to? One or all of you lot.
You should have the activity and infrastructure to support and guide new players.
The Junker Congress is happy to take new players--know that for a fact. I'm not in much of a trading position myself at present unfortunately or I would offer.
The Black Dragon Society is always happy to take in new players. Shoot, Griz and his roommate JRawk are both people I recruited from the Angels and they're amazing.
Send as many as you'd like our way, we'll gladly take them in and show them the ropes.
I would suggest be starting with the players interests and whittling down from there. There are few factions who abhor the idea of taking in new members regardless of their skill level.
