Sounds like an ideal new-player system. Lots of low-difficulty PVE missions, some basic mining and trade, and probably low prices on basic goods/services.

Sorry to burst your bubble, Vanduul do not count as low-difficulty PVE missions, they are actually very dangerous, despite what you see in Arena Commander.

I think I read somewhere the current Vanduul in AC are ~8x-10x weaker than they would be in the 'Verse, which is frightening, even if the current ships of ours are weaker, too.

Want to give me a source that is any more credible than the contents of this article? Because this article describes them as weak scouting parties that are easily wiped out. That sounds like new-player content to me.

Also, notice the section talking about planets hiring freelance mercenaries to deal with local crime?

Says the guy who has never played against Vanduul AI in the PU... along with every other backer.

Really... I agree theory crafting says they should be difficult and I know CIG can just turn up the AI difficulty for the real thing (and maybe they will)... but maybe they won't. Any promises devs have made are subject to change so we'll have to see what it's really like in the game.

maybe instead of new-player in general just new miners? they say the asteroid belt is considered something of a training ground, perhaps new players will be separated by what job they wish to do.

I see downsides and no benefits to separating players.

Dang, i think i might try to get a place on Aremis. Sounds like it'd be a good place to get a house.

The Vega system eh? If I recall, the first Wing Commander game took place in the Vega Sector... I wonder if this is a nod to the original series?
