Sorry but I have to agree with Ulysses here. It will just encourage players to stay in NPC corps. Besides, Eve Online still gives veteran players free newbie ships that have one mining laser and one turret fitted whenever they dock up in a pod in a station that has no ship.
Keep in mind though that the newbie ships in Eve carry absolutely no value at all, can't be reprocessed to salvage minerals, and can't be sold on the market because they have no value. If you lose the ship you get no insurance either. |

One the one hand I can see that starter fits for a veteran players can present a problem in which a good player can make a starter fit become better at killing mercs and thus become a major money saver.
On the other hand being in a player-driven corp allows that players to gain more ISK via planetary conquest and therefore they become less inclined to use the starter fits.
One thing you have to remember is that the vast majority of the corporations that get involved with planetary conquest will more than likely have certain doctrines that require the member to field certain fittings that practically forces the member to use NON-starter fits like advanced suits and weapons because every PC battle will involve professional enemies fielding very expensive gear anyways.
As you can see, the upcoming system itself will already encourage players to ditch the starter fits anyways and will just save them for typical pub matches like ambush. |

What about this then...
AUR BPOs.
There are already players out there, me included, who have blueprint original suits and gear (militia level of course) and therefore I'm already capable of negating the cost. Any player with money in their wallet can easily make their own starter fits. |
