I couldn't agree more Tarpoon. I invited a friend to try the game, his experience was just as you describe. He spent way too much time trying to find T0 FTP planes to fly. Quite often, he wasn't able to. I spent a few days bombing with him to rank up, and he has subsequently upgraded to a basic account, but he was very frustrated. I really hope something can be done to get more (new/ftp) pilots in the air. I've kicked around the idea of guaranteed rides for new players in my head (perhaps for their first week)... but at the very least I'd suggest increasing the supply of n00b rides. If that can't be done, there are a couple things that we could all do to help the new pilots out. 1. Make a better effort to keep missions up where supply exists 2. Always ensure there are bridge missions up -Wiffy
