Is there one? So far i think most players start in LHS 3447. Come on, can't let the federation hog the recruiting bases. Why not have new players spawn evenly in federation space and empire space? or better yet let them pick between the faction starting points when the game first starts for them? that way they can start in the same system as their friends if they so desire and can actually get around to do missions for the empire without having to jump like 300 LYs to get into empire territory. Im saying this from a purely bystander neutral perspective of course, it has nothing to do with my Empire loyalties...*cough* Glory to the Emperor *cough*
