A new player finishing the tutorials has some basics, a few ships and money to get some additional setups. But he also needs to know where to get this stuff best. Some newbie systems aren't well seeded with market orders so there should be list for new player for the common trade hubs where they can get their stuff at moderate prices.
Player interaction is the most important part of this game and with the corp finder tool you already provide a good platform to corps to advertise them self. What I would like to see is a system for players who have joined a corp through that advert can rate the Advert and the corp. (1) They should have the option to state something like "the first impression", how close is the advert to reality and maybe some other values like PvP orientation, PvE orientation, Industrials, team play etc. to be rated. The first one can be done during the first week after the player joined the corp and after a month or two a second survey is called where he can adjust his statements. All ratings will last finite (lets say 6 month) so it will be harder to cheat the system and a corps reputation won't be ruined after some bad ratings.
Increasing free stuff for new players like more ships or more SPs is not necessary what they need IMO is the knowledge about a fitting and how to align your training queue to it. If you plan out things right at your first gaming evening you can sit in an AB fitted tackling frigate the next evening and join your friends in your newly discovered player corporation. (Maybe this skill plan won't work out because of some high dependencies like electronics IV, if that's so this issue should be tackled soon) If you start the game with the impression "only flying a titan is really funny" you obviously have a lack of imagination.

This is a very good point. Even if the crowd sourcing was compromised by some entities, we NEED a better corporation management. Yes there are only a few people who handle this tool but this few people decide who much fun they can provide a corp and how much paperwork there is to do before you can have fun. It is ridiculous that there is only the options HQ, based at and others for division management. You can't store anything accessible to everyone without opening the door wide for a lot of security issues.
(1)Obviously there must be some restrictions prevent cheating. Something like "trial accounts don't count", "only one char per account can rate". Leaving the corp and just rejoin won't give you another vote. You must be at least 5 month out of corp. A rating only lasts for 6 month or until the member leaves which ever occurs first. If a new player friendly corp does its job right they will get voted up and may increase in popularity. Keeping the players choices private will be hard in small corps which only recruits 2 or 3 members but in large corporations with a steady flow of new players joining in it could be more anonym by just collecting a 5 to 20 surveys and update the data in a block at a random frequency.
