Are most players located around SOL?

Sol? Why should i go that way, if the action is somewhere else?
It's my understanding that new players are spawning in different systems near Sol. I could be wrong on that.
I spend enough time there already.
I don't really get why so many people have flocked to the one place in the galaxy that we've all already been to.
So where do you go and why?
oh no, might visit one day though, not soon - I will wait for planetary landings....
Don't you need a permit for Sol?
Certain kickstarter backer levels got you this by default.
New players will have to earn it in game.
Is this right? I think it is.

Really? Never heard of that.

Based on the pole. Not many at all.
I would however love to see people flock to one place. This would mean more human interaction and more things affected by players and not AI.

One of the creepiest avatars you have there.

Yes, you need a permit for Sol. Backers and Betas got ours.
How do everyone else get one?
We rank up with the Federation. You'll get the permit within 3-4 missions for them. Nothing difficult, just deliver item A to location B. I've amassed 4 different permits by now, is a Warrant Officer, and only one mission have included using my guns. On the other hand, it was shooting a traiterous general who was being ferried around in a Fed Dropship. It did not go down fast or easy, but eventually I got it to disappear in a puff of smoke and flame.
As for the OP: Those that do play in open, like me, are spread around. Quite a lot hang out around Lave due to having nostalgic memories of that location and its surroundings in the original Elite. A large number of players are also hanging around in Evil Empire space. Don't ask why. Yes sure, maybe they are drooling to get an Imp Cruiser, or maybe they are just less morally endowed and hence fit right in.
Myself, I'm on the border between the Feds and the Imps - making my moneys doing trade whilst slowly transforming my Cobra into a formidable fighting machine. A little bit more, and I'll start infracting seriously into Imp space. Heat up the cold war a little
Sol isn't that far off though come to think of it. some 70-80LY 'up' from my main base.

I've got Federal permits for several systems now, including Sol. I never went to any of them. I am not really interested in progressing my military rank and most importantly I do not expect to find anything more interesting or special in Sol or other systems.
I hope FD will add special and unique space stations and other stuff to certain systems to give them a special flavor. Then I will surely visit them. As they are now I am not interested.
Just do some naval progression missions. It is easy. Before you know it the Feds make you an admiral.
