I'd say- better put easy missions to Crete bar, but some tough, at Skiros and Tripy. Same idea can be made on Alpha- Valencia- Ibiza.
Launch from planets on certain battleships (Legate is one of them, Ranceur, not sure about it) quite painfull. Snubs and may be gunboats can pick up there relatively easy missions to earn rep, ir kill 20-40 mins.
And....again. Route is to long. I remember flying on my Sair char from Gamma to Kusari via Sigmas took me some time. I actually went to WC, made crap there, very generously washed my hands, went to kitchen, made few sandwiches, bouiled water for a tea.
Also, to Curios.
Some system indeed can be removed, (we have been told, systems CAN'T BE REMOVED) or at leaste, merged. I say for Omega 47. It's not a massive battlefield any longer, and Jumpholes can be moved closer to each other. Same about Omega 49.
