Bring up anyone who has the game for at least a month to 10mil sp.

I don't think that the problem is pubstompers, I think it's militia suits fighting guys in Pro gear.

Pros:
- More active players everyday, since they won't die as much and stay longer
- Less pubstomping since the people who originally fought in militia gear can now put up a fight
- A challenge to Vets
- More Corps and More PC/ More People who can participate in PC since they have good gear now
- A smaller chance of one sided FW games, no more militia in FW
- More players to recruit into corps
- New players who get this sp won't be able to run pure proto since they probably have little ISK
- More sales in sp restarts since a bunch of people will probably not be satisfied in what they skilled in after a week or to try out other play styles

I can't think of any con's rather than someone making a bunch of alt's and getting a bunch of 10mil sp accounts so how bout any account made before December gets it

Why 10mil sp? I have an alt with that much and it's perfect to put up a fight with anyone

I don't like this idea. I'm all for helping new players like how Eve Online players do, but not like this. This won't teach new players anythings. What needs to be done is to better stabilize matchmaking as it's somewhat out of whack at the moment. Another step to take is to implement tiered matches where meta level restrictions are imposed. The higher the tier of the match, the higher the meta you can use.

This way, players learn as they progress rather than just have everything served to them on a silver platter.

Giving away lots of SP....not gonna make anything easier for anyone who doesn't know how to play. Included in that, is HOW to invest SP. You think new players in need of the sort of leg-up you are talking about are gonna know what to do with it?

The newer players you talk about who need help need *help*, not 10m SP. They need to run with a squad if they're getting rolled...and not a squad full of noobs either.

- Run with a squad
- Figure the game out
- Join a corp

Then don't give xp just give the essential core skills for hp and maybe some of the most used advanced modules. This would leave the choices of dropsuit and weapon to the new player while evening the odds a bit.

10mill sp sounds reasonable,the game seems too easy for those with already established characters and teams, while others cant even play or hope to attempt win as most of your team is composed of militia tin cans.

I disagree with 10 million that's a free proto suit to start with

2.5 mill -5 mill max ..and if they do this whatever number they decide all existing mercs should get the difference

And new mercs should start at that sp level to begin ..



I do think 500 k sp is to little

but 10 mill is way to much

While I sympathize with the OP I believe a better solution would be to hotrack new characters with 3 125% active and passive skill boosters for three months. That way they earn SP faster to ease into the game and they have the option of buying full power boosters if they wish.
