Starting Systems

[SpaceTime]

Or, one Pennsylvania-like system for every house, and maybe something like this?

I think Joe's answer can better explain why the starting system is where it should be:

And now for the main reason people are attracted to Liberty.

It's familiar. Everyone knows it. It's where you start the vanilla game, and it's where you start out here. You undock from a Libertonian planet, to see a liberty dreadnaught base. Then fly just down the lane to a Liberty Police station, then a little further to the capital system of Liberty.

Would this change if we moved where we started? Probably only a little. The single player game is so centred around Liberty it would make little to no difference. All the ships are known to people who play here. It's the same reason as the Order is popular. It's known, and understood by new players who might have been playing the SP a bit.

OORP starting system with 4-5 jumpholes: New York, New Berlin, New London, New Tokyo maybe New Paris. After you jumped to a system you can't go back to this place.
And design every core system to be newbie-proof (low level npc's, small mining fields, 1 system trade routes ect)

Nice thought but I think in this way all the Capital House systems will be overly centralized. And yes, unfortunately we cannot increase server capacity:(


All in all, I agree that Pennsylvania is the best starting system.
