Simple short suggestion, this is the second time this has happened.

A friend joins the game and leaves the same day, WHY ??? They have no start planet no production. they performed a few scans and got 3 enemy occupied planets.

They cant take those planets and therefore have failed in the game before they even started. I think all new players should be given one awesome home planet. if this has happened to 2 of my friends how many people has it happened to in the past two years?

Im not sure anyone would care if new players or even other players were given a good 15x all they will have more will to play to find other planets like that. most players who start don't even know you can get such a thing. to me with 5 pages of them i certainly wont care.

Cheers

-1. I like the idea of keeping new players but this would cause people to create multis and thus get good planets. Maybe if you couldn't give away the planet then it's a decent idea

-1 For three reasons.

First, multi as mentioned above
Second, how many of us started with crappy planets? It's part of the early game.
Third, if a real life friend of mine wanted to play, I would hook them up with some good starting planets anyway.

It doesn't need to be 15x, just a Massive Rich Gas is good enough to get them started. Just make that the first planet new players scan. Honestly though, send them a subspace seeker tachyon cylinder and continuum beacon thats like 250 scan plenty to get at least one they can colonize.

+.5 Good Idea, maybe to avoid the multi problem make it unshareable, but it is true, I don't think I knew you could get anything called "mega rich" until I joined a good legion.

id say +1 BUT instead of some homeworld or something hugely good,just 3-5 first planets you scan should be Unoccs,i am pretty sure its easy fix,that the guy at lvl1 can scan only unoccupied planets

i guess i am one of the most luckiest in gamestart, my very first planet is canned was Exotic x4 mega research planet

I've never had a planet like that!!!

How about when you do the tutorial, a VL Exotic with 3x in everything is unlocked, with 1000 passive attack, defense and cloak to make it a little easier to hold onto.

Very nice suggestion Blue. I like the idea of linking it to the tutorial. It makes sense. Still, I would argue that the crappy planet start is part of the game; same as having no cargo space or few minerals. And, that's all the more reason to get connected in galaxy LEGIONS!

Q to OP: he didn't only scan 3 planets, did he? that seems a bit low count
why can't ur friend join a decent research based legion? that will bump up his scanners.
Do you know about reset? that's at least 2 chances

In any case, I won't mind giving a decent planet (Rich VL gas which is above par for a newbie but not game breaking) that is.... well... normal. I've taken worse in my newbie days, don't complain about that's not enough
OR 1 good planet (anything better than above said) that is bonded with the account (generated just for the account, cannot be scanned by others, cannot be shared)

Just in case someone epic failed with luck~ (which is unlikely but possible)
