new NPE requests

[metaluv]

some things I would like to see in npe

1. a place to zone into closer to start area or vendors, so people in different gs don't have to run all the way out to alien ship just to play together.
it's a hassle when you and a friend start new toons but aren't in same gs.

2. it would be nice to have a mission terminal to pull missions from so newbies can have more known options for xp when they leave arête.
just level lock the terminal to lvl 10 or 15

3. can't figure out why there is no bank terminal anywhere, please put one in.

4. please put small backpacks in one of the vendors, the new packs are nodrop, can't store very many farmed ai weapons.
the old newb island had a quest for a regular backpack, maybe that's an option also.

This. So much.
I'd prefer if it was right at Rex though, because if I want to start with a friend or two toons at once, I don't wanna run to the Vendors first and then back again just to be teamed.

To play devil advocate, besides #1 those are requests about us veteran players who want to optimize inside the tutorial zone. Which is not the main mission this area should accomplish.

Only #4 is to do with optimisation. #1, #2 and #3 would all benefit new players greatly.

I can see how #'s 1 & 2 might be implemented and useful for new players to learn about pulling missions.

There hasn't been a bank terminal in newbie area since the "OLD" backyards and even that one may have been added later, I don't recall. Neither newbie island or the SL starter area had banks or backpacks available except by quest. So it would seem that the intention is not to stay longer than necessary to get an introduction to the game. Not that I wouldn't mind one additional backpack (nodrop would be fine to discourage farming) since the zone does drop the items for the shoulder pad quest ...

That crate at the beginning where the healing droid spawns from, make that a thing you can zone into. The room is empty except for a shift-click box that explains how GSes and /lft works.

Good idea, I didn't realize you could even go inside the crate ...
