Cache up things for new players

While i don't agree with all these ideas i think you have a very valid point. Marquees should probably be available even if you weren't playing when the char was released, maybe part of the quest structure? New players are at a huge disadvantage compared to long term players. They need sooooo many teams to get mods, fleet, cls, jtr, etc. Long term players have a more natural progression since they didn't have all the characters available at once. I don't think marquees alone would help, but i think it's a reasonable starting place. 50 shards or whatever that they're missing isn't massive until you take into account how many missing those 50 shards and how many are one 1 spot hard nodes

What disadvantage?

When are those 2 players put in the same game mode to compete?

Speeding up new players reduces the advantage gained by spending, since the only thing you really buy is time.

Getting a marquee toon is like getting something on sale. Just because someone got an item on sale last month and you walk into the store today, doesnt guarantee you the same discount. He was rewarded for going to the store that day, just like players are rewarded with marquee toons for being in game at that time.
