I was wondering if people stick to a given system or are more nomadic.
After starting the game and leaving my 'home' system I did go somewhat nomadic. As a kickstart backer I had access to Sol so went pretty much straight there. After that mostly setup camp at Jameson Memorial. Although that was only really where I stored any ships I wasn't using at the time and would just go where I could get money or help out with community goals.
Not sure what changed but after 'accidentally' boosting my ship into the inside of a station I found which system was my spawning one. I have now pretty much setup there. Aligning myself with a couple of factions in the system (in spirit as I can't actually join them outside of CZ's), even giving my character some back story from the system. I have a reasonable trade route from there, with it also well placed to access Federal and Alliance space sectors. I kinda like that I now have something I can support. Having a system I start to care a bit more about what goes on in there, the Federation keeps going to war with a couple of the minor factions so I help out with them!
