Penn at the moment acts like a bubble, isolating newcomers to a daycare system that's away from any new developments and the day-to-day interactions of our community.
Cortez would do away with that by throwing new players directly into the story and offering several options to explore, plus as the main trade route between Liberty and Bretonia they would also have the potential to meet a lot of veteran players, both lawful and unlawful, due to its position beyond House borders. It would however need the various factions to get up off their backsides and actively help out new players with their questions, the primary reason why the Angels were disbanded.
Honestly, if you were to just go with moving the start from penny it would be best to just add a new system around Cortez, Coronado, and Baffin. I think that area would be best and honestly better than Penny but just don't think the systems around there work without heavily changing them. It would also put it at pretty similar distances between Liberty, Bretonia, and Kusari as well as being fairly close to the Taus, Gallia, and Outcast space. It would kinda be unfair for Rheinland and Corsairs. Still think the best change would be the one many have mentioned so far of just having a starter system connected to each house.
