Another thing you forgot to mention about yourself: You have slots for more than 200 ships therefore quite a number of dupes to spare.

A beginner most likely won't be having even somewhere above 100 ship slots right off the bat so you might also want to have that considered in mind. Plus as a beginner they would have to spend quite a few weeks clearing the required expeditions before they can get to Tokyo Express and considering "free time" is a luxury they don't have much leeway with, it'll be quite sometime.
