1. Remove 250k ISK from starter characters,
2. Lower prices of all low grade skill books, so that new player will simply do not need that kind of cash at the beginning. All skill-book that are first in tree line cost 40k ISK, except corporation with is half of it - I would lower their price by 10x or even reward players that fight on Academy with free skill-books in form of salvage.
3. Give more Militia items to new players, so they have more variation in they first fittings, and they will not have to spend ISK on it.
4. Create 'lock' mechanics on transferring ISK between corporation and players, until player reach 100k WP.
I keep track of some parts of the Forum, because even though it is not in my job description, I think it is important to have more CCP activity here. I try to post tips and helpful info on how to handle different issues, and try to reply to player questions here as well, after I'm done answering support tickets. I poked the right people to look at this thread too, so your suggestions should be seen and considered, but I can mention them at our next meeting as well. Also, why the hate, sailor? I'm just here to help.
for the NPE i think bringing the standard preset options for new players to choose from which gave a bunch of starter skills was the best option. that way it removes the need for isk, gives newberries a good start as they already have their racial rifle to lv1 and medium or light frame lv1 and then they have to play matches for the rest of the isk. starter skills could include
Assault, Sniper, Logi and Scout and av
assault - Med frame lv1, racial rifle lv1 and grenade lv1.
logi - med frame lv1, racial sidearm lv1, racial equipment lv1
sniper - med frame lv1, sniper rifle lv1, sidearm lv1
scout - racial light frame lv1, racial rifle lv1/shotgun lv1
AV - medium frame lv1, grenades lv1, swarms lv1
it may not sound much SP but you'd be amazed how long it can take to unlock those skills as a new player, also for the first 14 or 30days give newplayers double passive and active sp gain, not boosters, just built into the game for anyone younger than 15/31 days ect liek they do new EVE players

i have a lv1 minmatar logi (lv3 skill) lv4 drop uplink, lv4 rep tool and lv4 nanohives.
1st suit R9, N11 and P13 uplinks and a militia green bottle.
2nd suit X3, K2 and the other advanced hive
3rd suit DB-9 triage repper, injector, ammo hive
go into ambush and use uplink suit. spread them around map in good pllaces, place some away from the action in case team gets overwhelmed and you can fall back. suicide.
if team is holed up in a building change to hive suit and drop ammo and rep hive for team mates. suicide
change to logi fit (skip step 2 if its an open map) and follow a heavy or good assault guy. i get about 1000-2000 in a good ambush map and around 200-400k isk the suits are dirt cheap but do the job well enough.
