Okay since this will be the umpteinth time I've suggested a starting system, here...
Very rough drawing but welcome to the Sirius System.
In the center of the system, our starting point. Grand Central Station.
Slightly to its north, Central Refinery and Shipyard. Featuring a few of the civillian low tier ships available for purchase.
Each Triangle represents a Jump Gate to each of the Five Houses.
The squares next to each jump gate would be a Welcome center, giving history and information onboard about each House the gates go to. Next to the stations would be a line of each Houses Lawful capital ships in a nice line. Kinda like how EvE online is with the Amarr Empire intro.
Each green circle is a jump hole to the Tau's, Omicrons, and Omegas. With warning bouy's to boot.
The areas around the station would feature several nebulas with a starting mineral only sellable at the refinery next to the station.
Quick, simple, easy to keep an eye on and informative to new players.
