Warning to New Pilots (NPE)

My PC recently took a dump (actually just windows. linux is still working like a champ) so I've had the sads from not being able to play elite. The next week they offered this addiction on XBOX game pass.

It's been a long time since I've been a novice and I must say the NPE is pretty good.

What I found most of interest however was the warning to new pilots about nefarious commanders enslaving brand new federation pilots to mine for them deep in the black. I was already aware of this new ploy from other sources but I must say this is most simple and impressive way to address the issue. And very in spirit of elite. Rather than an over handed approach and dumping on someone else's 'fun' educate new pilots of certain dangers. As in life most dangers can be avoided with knowledge. And as anyone who grew up in the 80's is well aware, knowing is half the battle. (also as a programmer i'm thoroughly impressed you guys didn't force yourself into programming a solution).

Bravo

They did ban the slavers (although that might be more to do with the fact that specific group was being extremely toxic towards the players they abducted).
 
Let's not call them slavers, they are professional, extended-stay specialists offering a unique and educational experience for neophyte CMDRs.

In RL we have similar individuals, time-share vendors, extended warranty sellers and pay-day lenders, they're all above board, right?
 
But they have alts and already have a new "Within the rules, idea" they are planning.
