Can't create new ships

[wolever]

When trying to create a new ship:

schemaverse=> insert into my_ships(name) values ('Shippy');
INSERT 0 0
schemaverse=> select count(*) from my_ships;
 count 
-------
     0
(1 row)

This is with a newly created account:

schemaverse=> select * from my_player;
 id  | username |          created           | balance | fuel_reserve |                 password                 | error_channel | starting_fleet | symbol | rgb

Oh… it's because I don't have a planet yet: https://schemaverse.com/tutorial/tutorial.php?page=CreatingAShip

This is a pretty common problem for new players. We are working on resolving in in a couple different ways but, in the mean time, the best way a player can get back into the action is by just creating a new account. When you create a new account, if there is no new planet available for you to make home, the system will generate a new planet to assign to you, allowing you to create ships (at least until it is taken over!).

Many players have two or three accounts so don't be concerned if you need to create a couple.
