I dont really know where to post this, and I still continue to explore around.
Order space is entirely boxed in unstable jumpholes - I assume this will not let capital ships or transports though - unless one goes to Zeta, needing to tour entirety of Omicron systems to get anywhere else that isnt Omicrons.
Order space has no economy, sells nothing but mining containers and consumer goods at... not really good of a price.
Instead we have received a station wreck and a Kusari battleship in our backyard. Has anyone thought any of it though?

One thing you should know: Alaska - Minor isn't snub only, it's open to all ships. It was mistakenly labeled as "Unstable" X hole, and will be fixed with the next hotfix.
This also means you can jump over the connection entirely with a jump drive. You can jump from Mu to New York, for example.
It does not fill me with optimism to know that our only exit besides systems full of Core and Outcasts is a maze system which entrance of I haven't figured out yet (died around 4 times so far trying to get in), is entirely hostile, full of disruptor turrets, tight minefield corridors and with bypass tax of a jumpdrive and 20m oldcash worth in fuel.
Dont take that as criticism of Alaska, its a maze system and I am treating it as such. It just sucks a blackhole as a transit system.
Call me oldfashioned and counting every Sirian credit (I am not part of that multi-billion savings elite) but being stuck in own corner of space and having to pay a "tax" to leave doesn't sound like good gameplay loop to me. The only faction that has similar woe to that are probably Mollys right now, who can be blocked even more easily.
EDIT: I forgot to mention. The jumpholes woes will get a second look after hotfixes will be sorted out. I dont know what will be the options but I hope for a proper debate/discussion concerning the best course of action.

despite the official release of the patch, it is very much "not done" - the vision of the developers is done to an extent that varies. The vision of the community and players sure isn't. the upcoming hotfixes and patches will for sure change important aspects of the current patch. feedback is always welcome.
This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.
Council shall decide your fate. Council has decided: Fren.

At the best of time, we've had access to Sigmas (S-59 and S-17), Tohoku (reduced to snub-only now) and of course various iterations of Alaska corridor (Ellesmere, Nu, Virginia etc.) and backdoor to Outcast space via Beta. I feel like access to Sigmas in some fashion, as well as Chugoku/Tohoku would benefit us a lot more than what we have now. I am open to discuss the options available.
