I recently played a alt. I never do this I only play my main.
So I do the academy an I'm kinda fighting hard with crap gear an zero sp, an some of these noobs are smart enough to at least have good suits an geks, or the occasional core faylock.

So I earn about 200000 sp then boom I'm in with the big boys; lol damn!
Gotta start over the same way I began in open beta by sniping to survive.
I think this is a good way to learn this game by fighting from far away until your skills an battle sence allow you to earn your spot on the front lines.

But new guys don't want to do this so I say give em 5 million in the academy then cut em loose.
Needless to say I haven't touched my alt since an I probably never woulda kept playing this game if I didn't look at it as a investment an bought boosters.

Not everyone has money to burn on a game that constantly changes, an young people that did put money into this game an sp would probably quit if they lost a cal logi to a change cuz they don't share the same patience as older vets of the game.

So I say boost the new guys egos a bit an leave em in the training grounds till they hit 5 milly.

When I started there was no academy, so they should consider themselves lucky earning 5 million

I never left the hills

Yeah, because there is only one way to play the game after all.
