Just my 2 cents... High level R&D gives violett Mk II items from white materials, just requiring some minutes. Feeling generous, investing ~1K Dilithium and Materials per item, pre-feed with it an upgrade - but do not upgrade, so that the recruit can grow it on his own for free while leveling.
Still feeling generous: Once the initial upgrade is used up, make upgrades for these items, the recruit invests Dilithium and time of his own. A no-pain-no-gain would be offering to exchange 2 upgrades for material asking for at least 1 violett (R&D support mission at the academy).
As D'Artagnan got his farther's sword & armor*, I would give a starter set of Energy Dampening Armor, Pla or AP Automatic Rifle (Ground Equip Upgrades) and a Personal Shield (Shield Upgrades). These give a good help in ground missions and can be reused by BOffs, once a char gets Mission/Reputation sets.
(* he also got a horse, fortunately ships come from the game)
