How about if Emi gives everyone a months' free gold account trial after 2 months active playing? That would give new people an incentive to play longer than a few days/weeks and show them what they'd be missing. Even a week would be better than nothing.

1 week when they start would solve a load of problems.
new players can use good designs and not worry about designing ships for a bit and they will get to a faster start

And thus I clothe my naked villainy

And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.

Hm, an interesting idea... I will consider one or two weeks of Gold status to new players but maybe limit the number of ships they can clone to 5 ships... This would ensure that they can get a good ship design if they lose their Trainee fleet.

I like it but would suggest only 1 free trial per ip address to keep cheating to a minimum.

Well if it is non-transferable then it wouldn't really work to cheat. Then they can make as many accounts as they want to get it but it would only work on that one account.
|
Need an s-ship? If you have Gold just search Jangos, then select the price you want. If you don't have Gold just pm me for a design.

agreed. i brought this idea up about a month ago. a week free gold, non-transferable, limiting the amount of cloneable designs would be okay

What I got is:
- 7 days of free Gold
- non-transferable
- can not upload custom avatar
- max clone 3 designs
- doesn't have access to upgrades database
What do you think?
Thank you.

Well from my point of view from someone who doesn't have a gold account, that seems fine to me. It gives new players a chance to see the difference in designs and hopefully make it easier to learn the basics of ship designing.
Something is always better than nothing. The 3 design uploads should surfice as they can clone the essential type of ship to get you on your way... ie. a mission, a swarmer and a powership.

max clone 3 designs isn't enough. 3 designs from watch and learn isn't enough to learn how to design a super. and what if they clone bad designs?
id say at least 5 designs, we can work from there

I agree with Jess. 3 designs isn't enough. 5 at least more would probably be better. But either way Emi I want to thank you for actually looking at and responding to this post.

ok since they will be limited in the number of designs maybe we should start a new section in the forum dedicated to ship suggestions and provide a forum link in the beginner totural.  |

ok, we'll start with 5 designs limit and go from there.
We can always increase it or modify later.

agreed. a system for grading other designs would be good as well. maybe u can get like 1% off the cost of the cloned design if you rate it, a small incentive but at least its something. |
