Thanks for the fine reporting of 'Life as a Newbie' I'm sure it brought
back good and bad memories for everyone
As for that 35 ped beacon, that you can't be certain wasn't a gift
of
MA to spice up your report. I can tell you that a new society
member, got a 35 ped beacon within the first week of starting last
week. They immediately started mining, it was their first global and
their first spacecraft. I went to assist with the drones, and to show
her where and how to hit the button. I couldn't believe it when she
showed me the 35 ped beacon in a trade window, which sold quickly
for TT+600 on auction. I've had 5 spacecrafts, first was a 23, second
was a 25, last 3 were just robot parts. So, there may be something in
it that
MA rewards noobs to keep them going

Just like the 3rd day
noob I wished Good Luck to and within a minute he got the 1.2k Daikaba
Thanks again for the fine reporting
