The reason that people seem to gravitate toward Liberty should be obvious. It's literally the center of the universe. Of course, there are a few other minor reasons that all add up to making it the most popular hang out spot, but it can all be summed up in just saying "it's the center of the universe."

Also, there's a bit of a snowball effect going on here. For whatever reason, in the earliest days of Freelancer and Discovery, people liked to stay in Liberty. Because they started there, because it was familiar to them, who knows why. But it eventually led to there being a majority of player characters stationed in Liberty. And, as stated above, people want to be where the other people are. If people are already in Liberty, then go to Liberty. And it becomes a black hole drawing everyone in and never lets them go.


But as for the multiple starting systems idea, that's pretty much what spawned the /restart command. And I think it's the closest we're going to get, since it would probably be improbably difficult to code and create actual "buttons" that flash up on a new players screen. So /restart is what we have, and it's probably going to stay that way.
