Play neutral sailors on neutral ships... they dont have to be classed, just leave them.

It was hard to earn points for classing on time before, but now since they gave the
"low-lvl user bonus exp" its imposible for new players to keep up.

Same suggestion I give to anyone planning cv or ss:  at least have a km aa crew for basic leveling and credit/point farmIng.  SS don't earn much and classIng pilots cost a lot for first timers.  You mentioned you had extra default gunners - make them km aa - obviously add a BO and it will make your life considerably easier.  While you could aa for any nation, km is Easiest and available at a relatively low level.

I hate to burst your bubble Quen, but only CL, DD and FF can be made into escorts.

Now, in order to get points from another player, you already need 100.000 credits and points (or thereabouts). This is why most players starting with a new account DON'T spend the initial points and credits, accumulate some more and then go on to open a trade room in-game, asking for some credits and points.

Most experienced people will be happy to help out.

I was thinking that maybe because I had "re-started" as a "New" Player; while, having Old & Leveled Sailors, that maybe I wasn't earning enough Points to Level Up the already Leveled & Old Sailors.

I didn't Stow my Cash or Points in my HQ before Quitting.  If I had...maybe POINTS wouldn't be an issue.

I did get Points & Money Help some years ago.

Need 50,000 Cash & 50,000 Credits after Trade for Player-Player Trade to go through.

Sell an event ship.
