Talk:Types of Players

Proposal for article rewrite

Hello, I've noticed this article was recently created. I think it might be a good addition to the wiki actually so as to precisely define what a newcomer is and what an intermediate player is (especially as these terms are used in the starter guides and are left sort of ambiguous). I think that this page needs an almost complete rewrite though, as it has one major problem: arbitrary categorization. For example:

"Experienced players will have 2 layered titanium on their ship, 5-30 guns, and variety of laser weapons."

..why exactly 5-30 guns? What if someone decides they want to be peaceful yet still progress through the game's tech tree? There is nothing inherent about being an "experienced player" that dictates you must fulfill any of the above conditions.

TO THE ARTICLE CREATOR: I propose that the definitions are either made less specific (e.g. removing that oddly specific 5-30 gun requirement) or that we organize a community poll so as to be able to align the definitions in the article with the expectations of the community. Feel free to also propose your own ideas here, or perhaps provide arguments against mine if you feel they're bad. --User:Axenori (writing from a freshly created alt (again) as I've has procrastinated transferring my password manager's vault file yet again)

PS: I'll rewrite the article myself in a week or so if you don't respond as I'll assume as you're gone forever (many other editors have come, made 2 edits, then disappeared forever). I'd like to give you creative control over your own article if possible, though.
