Never the less this is not a bad idea that has come up before. Another good idea is the "weapons pack" for new players, so they can at least get started, maybe buy one thing that gives like a general ship upgrade package like small increase in armor, sublight, reactor, etc. Basically this would combine the present reinforcement, alpha drive, fission, and maybe slightly better bomb or gun into on purchase in order to make it easier. This would have to be bought as a package of listed items, and then sold individually as those things get upgraded. Is that possible?
