How would it benefit the server:
Make the server less hostile to new players joining.
Potential Issues/Exploits:
The suggestion not being effective enough.
What the suggestion actually is:
One of the major issues regarding SSRP and one of the main reasons for its current state is the fact that the server is extremely hostile to new players who want to try out ZARP. When a player joins, they start out with 100k and nothing else. They have almost no inventory space (even after they get level 10 stamina skill) and zero items. What is the first thing a new player does when they join the server? - They attempt to start a base. They use nearly all of their 100k money to spawn their printers and upgrade them and then the base lasts less than ten minutes until it is instantly exploded, what do they do after the base is exploded?What CAN they do when they have literally no money left after their first and only base is completely destroyed in a thirty second raid? They leave the server and never come back.
New players on ZARP survive ONLY in a few ways; the kindness of non-new players and pure luck by joining server 2/3 and basing without being destroyed because those servers are mining servers. These aren't fixes, but they're incredibly easy to do and will at least help relieve the situation. Make it easier for new players to start out on ZARP SSRP.
1. Instead of starting out with 100k (which is literally comparable to one dollar in real life) make it so that a new player starts out with at the minimum, one million dollars. 1m on this server is also comparable to one dollar in real life, but at least they have enough for more than one base to start out with if they are destroyed. No one would go through the process of duplicating a 1m on ZARP with alt accounts either, as 1m is not worth anything. It's only to help someone start out.
2. Give new players a temporary boost to their printers. I'm not sure how this could be done, but the idea is to give them at least a x3 boost to all of their printers (which are only going to be the non-vip printers (trash printers) unless they buy VIP instantly for some reason.) The boost will last maybe a few days up to a week. This will make it so the new players can actually make something out of a base.
These are just two suggestions that I think might not solve the issue, but make things at least easier. Feel free to post your own suggestions to help new players on ZARP SSRP. Thanks for reading.
I hope this thread will start an actual discussion on how to HELP the situation with ZARP. Do not shit-post in this thread, if you actually care about the server you won't argue with each other constantly either.
Post constructive criticism and contribute in meaningful ways.
For suggestion 2, I can already tell people would exploit that for their own benefit (Make new accounts and place prints)
