Rewards

We are constantly hearing that new players are finding it increasingly difficult to get going in the game and lose interest when constantly faced with players with high quality weapons and ships, but low infamy.

Surely the way around this would be to give better rewards to new players to help them accelerate through those tough times. We are currently faced with a system which gives the biggest rewards to the best players and the lowest rewards to the newest players. How can they catch up when we give them less resources. It’s like formula one, the team with the biggest budget will always be at the front.
It is a system designed to keep everyone in their ‘place’. A healthier system would be one that has less of a differential between rewards to allow new players the chance to catch up, and therefore become a long term player.
