I only ask because a new player invited me to a party and asked me why he can't use chat or send or receive mail. He is a Discovery character on Xbox and he said it keeps popping up must complete a certain mission in order to use this. Why is there a restriction on mail and chat?

    Gold farmers and other spammers and scammers.

    If there are no restrictions they can spam and scam, get banned, then instantly create a new account and spam and scam again.

    Yes until they've reached Level 10 IIRC.

    He is level 10. I was going to give him some level 4 purple gear to help him out, but it told me "The Player must Progress further in the story"

    I guess I'll try to help him through the Klingon Arc.

    Apparently he had to do Stranded in space. I gave him some level 4 purple gear that has tp on it. He should be good up to MK X.

    I don't know how it is on Consoles, but if I remember correctly on PC there was restriction for new accounts on Chat, Fleet creation and some other things until some hours done in-game, but it could be removed if the new player buyed any Zen (Zen from Dil Exchange worked too).
