Starting point for the New Commander

Post by kcallis »

I was thinking that rather than have a new Commander Jamerson start on Lave, I think that in the interest of bring someone up to speed, they should start on the Academy (either direct code that, or do an auto install of the OXP).
This would allow a new player to build up some skills and prepare them for the rough galaxy without the pain of trying to figure things out but looking at a printout and using trial and error.

Just a passing thought.. After all, it is stated that the new Commander just graduated from the academy and maybe we should make that true.

Well, yes. The key is in the tense: he has graduated. Which means that academy is over for him. So personally I don't see any need to launch him from there.
