Have you found many people playing in open and playing in power play that are into PVP? I know there are plenty of folks that are not into it (or hate it), but this would be consensual and in the Power Play environment.

There's at least one pilot in my Squadron supporting Powerplay for some reason despite Powerplay making you lose millions of Credits, but they're never online when I am, so I'm unsure who it is. Sorry!

I want to know what kinds of factors people consider when selecting a home station/system.
My first was 59 Virginis (good res, good proximity in the bubble) and recently it's been Cailla (close to a res spot I like hitting, also good bubble location, <100ls from jump spot).
Anybody wanna share their faves and rationale?

Burojinura is my home system. I chose it because it fits the requirements I needed for my character's RP background.

When I have any major (ship & other pricey modules) to purchase, I'll lighten my AspX to make the trip to 1 of the LYR systems for the 15% discount, then transort it back if needed.

Oh? It has a "Red Light District" then?

Gonna bounce this Region, it's going to get dangerous for a player with less than one month of game time.

While I'm pretty sure that every large starport has a pleasure district somewhere (going with the Ancient-Rome-theme FDevs gave the Empire I'm pretty sure they call it a Lupanar), the reason I chose it is because it's an Imperial controlled system in the border region of Empire and Federation space with Fedneck-run stations in it as well, making it work well with Amata's biography.
And yes, the girls working in a Lupanar were called lupae... "She-Wolves". Sooooo...

I do not have home system. I have ships scattered around. Few in Colonia, few around the bubble and nearest nebulae. Approximately 1/4th of my fleet is on my FC. So yes, I do not like the idea for home station but rather prefer to have specialized ships close to their point of operation.

For me it has to be Jormbu, it was one of our stations that was attacked by the Thargoids and we fought tooth and nail to save it, unfortunately we were unable to stop the incursion and many lives were lost both among our AX pilots and the civilians on the station.
It was out of this catastrophe that SCARF was born, a small subsection within Sap Core Legion that specialises in AX, both within our own borders and the Alliance as a whole. Some of our people have written some great logbooks about the whole thing. In short, Jormbu is a reminder of where we came from and our greatest failure and it's constantly present in my characters mind.

I just flew through this sector on my way to Betoncourt (HIP 62154). I scanned everything, of course. But I avoided these threat levels, then you have nothing to fear.

For quite a while it's been Cernan Dock in GCRV 1568, mainly because of the mining, and I've been hanging around there so much that I maxed rep with all the factions, so I always get good missions.
