Old blitz would be a perfect tutoring server... teach them basic controls... then they could do some trading for a better ship, kill npcs, build 1 or 2 cols under your supervision, and maybe you could even capture a u.n. col... build it up with lasers/flaks, maybe even a low shot/burst per minute solar, and have them try to invade and cap it.. have them look for artis and maybe even discuss good character stat combos for different server types... and have it rebang every 2-4 hours... this would be plenty of time to teach them.WeGotDeathStar wrote:Mel'Kaven wrote:I wanna be the guy that asks to get in and gets rejected.WeGotDeathStar wrote:I'm thinking about starting a online StarPort University.......anyone want in?
My job will be the official shitt-talker and all around pain in the asss.
I nominate cloud1 as the official nuke sponge
Bardock/Kasonia/Pj as fighting instructors.
Anyone interested in other positions feel free to add to the list.
Consider yourself hired Mel Now assume the position...............
But this would be a good idea......maybe toonces could make a beginners server with a very small map, pre-built colonies and a determined amount of vets to train newbies. Something that runs for like 1-2 hours a day like the old blitz. I'd be happy to show some new people how to play the game. Let them have like 10 million starting cash and a free IG ship to play around with for the length of the server or even 10-15 minutes so they would be inclined to buy one in a real perma...would help token sales but have no pk's allowed so it doesnt turn into a fighting server for regular players. Also let them have a pick of arti's so they will better understand how they work. Have a arit spawn every 5 hops or so to give them something to do.

Re: Interest in a 4 week starport coaching program
I'd teach a newb how to fight for free, and I'd teach him for alot longer than 4 weeks.
If he's good, he'll be my protege... ill even let him borrow my name to keep '0zzy' living on, long after I leave...
then he'll teach someone, and let the new guy become '0zzy'...
1000 years from now there will still be an 0zzy fighting on.

Re: Interest in a 4 week starport coaching program
Actually i really like this program... Ive been around starport for about 3 years, but i wish I could be as good as everyone else thats been around that long... so maybe we can test this program on me as I would still like to learn how to build better, fight better, invade better, etc.
So if you guys wanna really go through with this i guess i can be the first student

Re: Interest in a 4 week starport coaching program
I've seen this idea proposed several times over the last few years, and every time they come up with some awesome idea's, however, that said, it has never got off the ground.
Seriously guys, see instead of saying 'Oh yeah, do this dude' or 'lets do that' just go do it ...

Re: Interest in a 4 week starport coaching program
I might be interested in helping writing a guide or putting stuff down in concrete. I don't know how available I will be to help coach. But like, a guide to invading layouts or building. This sounds cool. Perhaps let's put this on the Wiki,.
