We need ideas that will help noobs get no only more into the game, but keep them playing as well.

One suggestion is that you can only attack up to 1 class down, so Class A can attack ships and planets of Class B and A, B can attack C B A, and so on.

Any more ideas? Fix some missions, add more, what?

Add my "show me " videos

Well will, as i've told before, we should get some kind of incentive for paying players, which should be balanced so that it is interesting to donate, yet also so that it doesn't give payers too much advantage.

The money from this, after subtracting the money needed to run SL, could then be used to get some advertising.

aye, but we probaly need to fix the noob experience before blowing money on advertising

Yeah we do.

For noob best way to learn about SL is to ask questions in chat veteran players. (100% vorked on FL)
1. We need to fix chat system (more veteran players on chat, would help live news on IRC)
2. Incorporete in missions that noob must make first contact with veteran player (Via PM or IRC)
3. Like forum moderators, in SL can be noob teachers (2-3 veterans players) Incorporete in mission first contact.

I don't know what you mean by it, samo, but by 'vorked' most people here asume 'borked' or F^%#ed up.

1. Yeah, chat system could see improvements, not to mention more users.
2. I'm not so sure if i like the idea of PMing. Also, how would the game determine the newb has contacted a vet, and not another noob? if implemented, IRC or forum.
3. A special group of teachers or a teaching clan would be an idea, but this could be dangerous - clan-politicswise.

Maybe there should be a mandatory first introduction post in the newb forum, name, why in game, came from where, (on the internet, not place of birth)

Some good suggestions from a new player.
Should listen to him.
1. Chat system definatley needs tweaking.
2. Missions should require contact with a vet player or new player forum moderators should be assigned to a player. Or upon entering the new player arena new players should be sent a pm welcoming them to the game and explaining a few things, maybe a link to the new players handbook and diary of a starting player to get a idea on what to do with the missions.

Well, we get chat working, and have a noob special channel. In this channel, we have people signup that are willing to be there, and cover the globe as best as possible

Giving a new player imunity for the first round is a bit of a major handy cap for us vets.
In the past I have offered to give them a green to move when they respond to private messages.
However posting private messages is not part of the training right now. There are no directions for this either. So as a result the handbook for SL is not read by many. The hand book is dated and needs to be redone.
So here are my suggestions-
Add directions on how to post and check private messages.
Up date the handbook (add bookmark to instructions, prompts in training missions).
Add a newbie warp and add a mission for this to the training requirements.
To generate income, add more links that pay for placement on a "sponsor" tab or something like that. Maybe give credits for players checking out the links.
