Even if controlled, wouldn't it lead to like an all newbie team with Rix getting capships in like 12 seconds?

Meh, newbies often listen and perform better than voobs since they're all good and angelic in their pre-voob phase. There is an untapped raw power to be had in the newbie workforce and I think that I am the only current commander that still harvests such a potent resource.
