We’re trying to create a PMF for our squadron and find a home system for it. On the application, every system we’ve chosen says it’s not available, even though we are trying to choose small systems with no PMF. I’m stumped, and don’t know what I need to do to pick a home system. We just want a system with a small population, a large pad station with decent outfitting, and no existing PMF. I don’t understand what we’re doing wrong.
Trying to Create a PMF

Government type, Power type, expansion due there. It's not just a case of a pin in the map. With ownership also comes responsibility. Small system? That's going to cause issues to nearby PMFs' causing runaway expansions so even if you find a system, don't be surprised if you get steam rollered. We've stamped hard on three that didn't control their BGS, now they do and they're now friendly also.
Might be worth sharing rejected system(s), someone might have an idea. It does seem quite opaque.
That one isn't actually a thing (anymore?). A long-lusted-for system near my area had 7 factions, but no PMF in it... it's a good system, but because it's five native, one foreign faction, and the foreigns are the top two factions, and it's a high-pop system, really hard to usurp them.
But then a new PMF (only present in that system, and almost seemingly abandoned straight away) suddenly appeared and has sat there, holding the system at 8 factions ever since. This happened about a year ago, so a fairly recent thing (in terms of PMFs).
Yes, the rule now is 7 or less.
To a near approximation, every system already contains either at least one PMF or 7 NPCs, so being able to add them at all involves adding them to 7 NPC systems.
(But, as mentioned above, the Fleet Carrier pseudo-faction seems to be counting sometimes and making it look like an 8 NPC system)

We forced a non-native faction into pending retreat. So, hopefully, when we get them out, we can try again.
