Adopt-a-Sidewinder Program Idea

[CMDR_Stebel]

Thanks for your input, all! Does anyone have any further insight? If not, would someone kindly point me toward whatever procedure there may be/person I may contact to make this happen in some way? (Apologies, I have little experience with forum procedure in general).

Definitely, the accessibility is just as important as the publicity. We need to somehow find a way to make it more approachable. There's the EliteSchool subreddit, and the Frontier page for newcomers, but those rely on potential newcomers actually 1, finding the page to begin with, and 2, going out on a limb, so to speak, and posting there. It'd be nice to have a standing topic here, because its already a more friendly place to begin with. The difficult part is getting the word out to other places that people would see easily.

This is the main problem.
And there is already plenty of "starting out" resources out there that are easier to find than mobius.
I didn't join mobius until I was practically in a python already, and at the least those who join are usually fielding cobra's\type 6's at the very least.

To get the word out we either park our selves outside the starting station and start spamming local (in open), like corp recruiters in eve, something the instancing alone, not to mention most start in solo makes utterly pointless.

So we would almost have to get FD launch an in game popup saying "Go to elitepve.com, those guys are super nice and will show you what to do !"

Something I don't think they would do, and they shouldn't honestly.

In all honesty, this would seem to attempt to put structure on something we already do, we go on TS, we wing up, answer stupid questions, laugh at the outrageously stupid ones (and having a big ship doesn't mean you know everything, or anything)
There is no set way to play this game, so at best we often just share basics and game mechanics and people will have to figure their way of using them.

This is another valid point. Haha, I was trying not to mention the recruiters in Eve, those guys were terrible. I suppose the problem is publicity without spamming, but with the way its growing, Mobius seems to already be fairly well known. Maybe a standing thread or something within it? The point is to have a list of Commanders that are all readily available to help people out. Also, a question, does Mobius have its own subreddit or anything like that? I don't seem to see much posted aside from people raging because we like to play the game how we choose.
