What is your best Empire System ?

Hi Cmdrs !

Since the beginning of Elite, i am in LTT 9810.
The reason was for the commercial route "LTT 9810 - Cemiess" but now, i don't have to do it so...
First, I was on "Kerimov Dock" but, after 600 hrs of ED, i decided to move on Gutierrez Terminal which rotate around an earth like world... only for the view and to be happy to go home

I am now about 1000 hrs on Elite and i am thinking again about moving on another system.
LTT 9810 is a good system but don't have any ring planet for bounty hunting.
But i have 6 factions i can work for with Governor, Vice president (!!) and general ( i think the rank of the person that deliver you the mission is important for the rewards isn't it ? )

So, I am looking for a great looking system with, if possible, a great station with a lot of empire factions and some Ring planet of course !

On my way back to a CG, by chance, i visit Karama, an incredible system with 4 suns and a lot of planet.

The most amazing with this system is when you arrived : you have 3 suns in front of you and have to pass those 3 suns to arrive at Sola Ring which is the biggest station of the system.

Here's the trip, the youtube compression is horrible sorry : https://youtu.be/4eLOA7nZwcg

I am really thinking about moving all my ships ( 12 ) in this system !!!
The only problem is that Sola Ring have only 3 Empire factions with no Vice President and it's at 740ls ...but maybe it's not really a problem when you can come home everytime wich such this amazing view !!!
What do you think ? Have you any advice on a system that might fit to my desire ?

In which system do you live and for what ?

PS ; sorry for the bad english

I think i'm gonna test this system for a week or two but, at first look, it seems a very good system.
The outfitting section has everything, a lot more than i used to have in LTT 9810 and everytime i entered the system, it's magical

Anyway, thanks to the engineers, i only can use 5 of my 12 ships.. so, in fact, it's not a big deal to move in this system

Munshin. It was my original home system with very good trading in system and to neighboring systems, only 3 jumps from the empress' area. One of the neighboring systems strangely sells a Corvette even though it is an Imperial system. Anyway check it out and make sure to go there with a hold full of palladium. (Best price anywhere I have found) Had to flee because I was set up to take a fall on a mission i took. Been searching ever since for who set me up to clear my name and return to the Empire.

I'm currently in quince. it has no ring, but only one landabe body, so all data scan mission go to the same POI. and if you bring some passenger cabins first class, the local passenger missions go to the two tourist beacons in the same system ... one is less than 1 ls (!) from the tourist economy station...

i recommend the trip and to stay a bit.

I spend a fair bit of time around Futhark, Futhorc and Nehet. Several Imperial factions issue missions in all three of these systems. Futhark 3 has a ring with a HazRes for bounty hunters, and you're not far from the Shapsugabus -> Marrallang trade route. Lots of credits to be made shipping refined metals and imperial slaves.

Maybe not the best area of miners, I haven't yet found a pristine metallic ring close by.

Is Hazardous Resource Extraction Sites the best for bounty hunting ?
I thought it was the high Rez.
Karama has a ring planet with a Hazardous Resource Extraction Sites at 5ls of its station oO

For me? CN Hydrus. Aisling Duval territory, plenty of res sites, gorgeous views of a ringed water world flanked by other ringed planets. Nearby to good outfitting systems.

high res are great for kill stealing from system security ... i made 1,4 mio cr in an eagle some days ago that way. but for the best payout, more challenge and more rank increase, haz res is the way to go (or compromised nav beacons).

You mean you actually WANT to live in empire space? How do you deal with the smell?

I'm joking. Safe travels, commanders.
