Liberty was the starting point for Edison Trent, for all players of this game. It has also been the starting point for Discovery, for ages. Pennsylvania is a good starting point set up a long time ago by our devs, some of which may not even be here anymore. I have not seen issues about players having a difficult time with honing skills. There may very well be. I haven't seen issues of players finding it hard to make credits, but there may very well be. Pennsylvania has been here in this mod for years as the starting point for players, and there's nothing wrong with it being here. The better players venture outside of Liberty and make it into the other factions.
Instead of moving the starting point somewhere else entirely, likely into a system meant to be solely RP purposes, how about making the already RP neutral Pennsylvania some new jump holes to other systems as mentioned previously in this thread? Perhaps link Pennsylvania to other points of interest throughout the game? Or perhaps as Sombra said, at the least, make improvements to the visual details. I personally experienced no issues at all with Penny. It was perfect. A beginning experience of trading, piracy, and fighting. Pennsylvania is a great starter pack for any new player to this game, and any intelligent new player will have the decency to not remain in Liberty alone.
I'm assuming nobody else believes that Pennsylvania is the perfect starting point for new players? I pretty much perfectly agree with Sombra here (hi Sombra) on my end.
Also, would it be rude to ask what the point of changing the starting location is again? It kind of got lost in the bickering.
