I believe many of the problems could be solved by having each new player spawn randomly from a selection of newb-friendly restarts. This would spread the newbdom throughout the world, rather than squishing it all in liberty where it is such a large problem that the high concentration of lolwuttery from newbs influences other newbs into lolwuttery.
In fact, I'll probably post this as a suggestion where it is more appropriate.
Already been taken care of. It'll have to wait for .87 though, so alterations to each capital system can come into play. We want to make sure new players have equal chances of survival and access to start-up profit mechanisms (like the helium mining) to make a good go of the game.
