You have to spend 1000 turns to kick you out of the newcomers protection.
That is highly exploitable.
There should be another form of newbies protection besides that.

Like gold or number of ships or certain type of ship owned?

How exactly will it be exploited? Do you think we should decrease the number of turns, maybe 750?

I was drunk when I wrote this. After some mid rank players slapped me their ship counts, I now retract the word "highly".
A new player can have 40 Trade Galleons on trade routes and still be under the protection. Though he has to be very patient when starting out.
So I think having additional ship and/or gold cap like Nicko said would solve it.

Wanted to keep it to myself and try it out but I read somewhere that this game still hasn't reached V1. Lost a bit of interest in the game.

P.S. Drunk again. Cheers!

The game is in version 1.3.51.
I think this is a valid point but the easiest and maybe the best way to do this is to just reduce the number of turns a player has to spend before losing their newbie protection.

I see no issue with the currently set 1000 turn protection for new players. The likelihood of a new player knowing how to build proficiently to earn large sums of money without using up his/her turns and remaining under protection is very slim.

Disapprove.
