AeellronRandom question commanders: What's your home station and why? Is it powerplay related? Stick with Yi-long so you can buy stuff cheaper? Near a favorite res site?

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?

Jameson Memorial is noteworthy for offering all ships and almost all modules for purchase in its Outfitting services at a 10% discount. The only modules absent from the station's inventory are Enhanced Performance Thrusters, Class 1 Corrosion Resistant Cargo Racks, and any items procured through Human Technology Brokers, although a Guardian Technology Broker is available and Guardian-tech modules can be purchased after they have been unlocked.

I've thought about making Jameson a permanent home base because of how useful that place is, and just leaving my mining ship over at GCRV. Also there's the whole social aspect. There's always people there and I like that, even when I get someone like the guy who kept trying to boost-ram my Beluga in his wimpy snake ship (space whale dgaf). The only reason I haven't is that system's bad reputation for being a gank haunt.

Aleksander MajjamYup, it absolutely needs to be said that Shinrarta is gank central for sure.

According to the Inara stats, Deciat is gank central.

Isn't that your squadron's territory?

Marra MorganaDoes your squadron prevent gankers or is it one of those doing the ganking?

Out of curiosity when was the last time your squad fought the gankers in deciat? I am there a lot and I have never seed anyone from the Ryders squadron. Are you all on X-box or something?

KobatoOne thing that kind of amuses me a little every time I go do stuff out of Jameson Memorial, is I look under Social/Local, and it almost always looks like this:

And here I come prancing along in my squeaky little Dolphin.
