Slugs are great for newcomers who have little or few skills, but the next step up is the molesaurs, i suggest maybe skip straight to them? If you exit the south gate of Quarantine, and follow the forcefield (from the outside of NU) to the North (not the west), then you're run across some moles. it would take some guess-and-check to see which maturities you can live against, which would kill you, but its probably better than the few/no slugroaches..
