Actually, that's a damn good idea. Have some rep.
I'd forgotten that it was another CMDR that got me on the right road about two years ago - I was trucking tiny amounts of cargo in my sidewinder for very little profit, hadn't even done any missions yet since they looked scary.
Then someone pulled me out of supercruise one day. I was ultra suspicious initially - I thought it was a trap of some kind, but the guy gave me a canister of something, can't remember what it was, but it was worth quite a bit when I sold it.
He was quite patient. I didn't know about the cargo scoop so it took a while to figure out how to collect the stuff he gave me.
But it made the difference - I was able to upgrade enough to increase my profit a bit, and soon I had a Hauler. The rest, as they say, is history
Ty!
I regularly try to round up a load of newbies and take them bounty hunting.
Telling them how to survive is one thing, actually keeping them alive in combat is completely different. It's reaaalllly hard. But ultimately rewarding.
Nothin' quite like boosting in guns blazing and saving your trainee for certain death. Usually because they didn't listen.
Be prepared to gain a bounty or two to take agro off them when they inevitably get wanted by accident. Lol
I suggest using Open or Mobius to find your recruits, but then take them to your own PG to avoid being ganked.
