Remove the Old starter system MTU restrictions.... PLEASE

With the introduction of the new starter area can you please remove the MTU restrictions that were meant to protect the new player experience.

There is no reason for the restriction to remain now and many missions including Epic Arcs randomize to an old starter system and it’s annoying to not be able to use an MTU.

Pretty please… cherry on top.

they removed the mtu thing to prevent spam.. the starter systems there are still viable until they say otherwise.

How about adding… “in the non-exordium starter systems”?

also update rookie grieving article to not include those systems and the SoE systems.

soe needs to stay in it.

They did it to prevent Spam for the new Bro’s trying to experience the game for the first time. The new starter area is now where they do that. Not sure what your argument is. They need to either remove the restriction OR do the hard work and make it to where people running level 4 / Arc missions can use a MTU by remapping the randomness of mission locations.

I am almost certain they will get around to deleting the starter systems at some point this year. I would not be concerned over any restrictions. Those too will cease to exist when it happens.

Have fun!

According to some csm, exo is not a replacement but additional starter system. So dont hold your breath

My CEO spun up an alt to check it out. There is no choice, other than to arrive in Exordium. A new player would have to be aware the other 12 schools exist, travel to that region, and start playing the game from there. I cannot imagine how that would happen without prior knowledge of playing the game.

I have been to the 3 schools near Jita, trying to hand out free ships, and there is maybe between 10 to 15 people there on an active weekend. Jouvulen prior to Exordium was 45 to 120, six months ago. I don’t think they will delete the systems, shutdown the schools maybe, but they are just as apt to leave them to rot. Removing them has little to no profit, it requires some one to get paid to do the work,

I remember I said, Exordium would be a sponge and it is sucking all the incoming players. Now do the new players leave Exordium after 30 days or just quit the game in 2 weeks? I am sure someone will figure out the numbers on a Dotlan Spreadsheet.

well there’s plenty of characters who have never done the original career agents.. thats why they are still there… BE players can redeem both exo and original starter, AE players can do both as well.

I thought you knew, those same agent missions and schools have been copied and pasted into Exordium, there is nothing different about them. The only “reasons” to keep the 12 old career schools around is for nostaliga or as I suspect, FC is too cheap to pay an employee to remove them.

The princess and I have discussed this, she would like them to stay put. Meanwhile I could care less what FC does anymore, since they don’t care much about the player thoughts or recommendations. They eventually will disappear in the future, because they are now a redunancy in this game.

As for the MTU restrictions, MTU is a mobile tractor unit, we are discussing? How is placing them in the area spam? The restriction covers all mobile structures including citidels and was done back in Sept. 2021 without much explaination given.

People use MTU as adverts for corps, you set the name to “Come join my lovely corp” or similar and voila.

There was spam of these in starter systems, hence the ban.

My advice is:
