I'd like to suggest a review of the Pilgrim's Ruin detention centre in HR 3005 and the surrounding systems.
I've been operating outside the bubble in the Pencil Sector EL-Y D5 system and any infractions result in my incarceration 200ly away at Pilgrim's Ruin. This would be all fine and a lesson well learned were it not for the fact that HR 3005 is so isolated that it is very easy to become stranded permanently (I am currently awaiting response to a support ticket due to my second offence).
The HR 3005 system itself contains only 2 stars and the detention centre megaship, Pilgrim's Ruin.
The only system within Apex transport range is Synuefe EN-H D11-96 which is 13.17ly away and that system has only two outposts and no planetary settlements or ports.
This means that if you are transported to HR 3005 with a ship whose jump range is less than 13.17ly, or if you are transported on foot, there is no way to escape those two systems without the help of other CMDRs.
Could I suggest consideration of the following solution:
1. Increase the range of Apex Interstellar Transport (the boring option, please don’t.)
2. Ensure remote systems like Synuefe EN-H D11-96 have an Odyssey accessible shipyard facility, to enable ship purchase and transfer, which would be supported by…
3. A minimal mission ecosystem in all populated systems to enable content and means to profit.
Personally, I’d like to see 2 and 3 to give that surviving-on-the-isolated-frontier feel.
