@@andreylebedenko1260 right now this game is basically mining simulator, exploration simulator, fighting sinulator. Nothing else ... there is no story, no mission interactions really.

Or pirate.. or try to interact with your Voice attack voice? ... The power play is super trash and can be influenced by offline griefers of which the game is full... i play open no other way is fun.

@@DNH17 I see your point -- there are not many answers on "*why* i would do that?", but then again, there is not much to use to drive the humans' actions anyway. After all, there are only three aspects of our nature, which make us do something: anger, curiosity and creativity. The first two are used in the game quite heavily, but not the third one. But it is not just this game, which suffers from this problem, a lot of others very popular online space MMO titles do. The good thing is, developers of other titles realised that already, that's why we see those new games, where one can create virtually anything in space or on the surface. I believe the trend will eventually touch ED as well, otherwise... well, let's just hope for the best.

Breakdown of options for a 'Home Station': 0:00 = Intro, Sepulcher Geist 1:52 = Jameson Memorial - Shinrarta system : Has all ships and modules + permanent 10% discount. Close to drop-out star, central location in 'the Bubble'. Home to many veteran commanders. Aggressive space in open-play mode. Requires Elite rank for access permit. 3:30 = I Sola Prospect - Brestla system : No requirements for access permit. Has all ships and modules, but at a 20% markup in prices. Planet-side outpost is a different feel for a home base, but landing planet-side takes more time and effort. 4:48 = Ray Gateway - Diaguandri system : Well stocked with many ships and modules (but not all), permanent 15% discount. Has material traders. Close to drop-out star. Home to many combat commanders. Local opportunities for bounty hunting. 5:45 = Abraham Lincoln - Sol system : (or any space station in the Sol system) Large community (can be both good and bad). Nostalgic value of visiting our own solar system. 6:36 = Jaques Station - Colonia system : Solid station overall. The frontier for miners and explorers. A "new world" or "2nd Bubble" 20K+ Light Years away from the Bubble. 7:34 = Explorer's Anchorage - Stuemeae FG-Y d7561 : Close(-ish) to the centre of the Galaxy. "1 jump" away from the super massive black hole at the centre of the Galaxy. 8:03 = Hackworth Orbital - Ehecatl system : A Federal station in Empire controlled territory. Some political conflict. Opportunities for slave trading See you in th black commanders... Cmdr Kean M. Thane, over and out.

One note on Jameson station: It's name is a homage to the paper & pencil rpg Traveller which Elite borrows heavily from. The example character for making your own character in the rule books was named Captain Sir Alexander Lascelles Jamison, the different spelling I'm sure is intentional by Frontier.

Honestly, I hope to find a home station one day. Currently, I'm hopping from system to system (with the help of eddb), living that space trucker life. If anything, one station that I hold dear to my heart is Teller Ring, in Lauksa. It is where I consider I got my start, where I stumbled upon a lucrative trade route when I was under 20, maybe even 10 hours of gameplay, and even before I started using eddb. I flipped polymer for nine grand a ton in pure profit, and went from a Hauler, to a Type-6 in no time.

Nice! I also discovered a nice trade earlier this week when I started playing, now making hundreds of thousands per 5 jump run between my home station and a refinery outpost. the type-6 has allowed me to snowball I think XD

So many memories that when I got Elite on PC, I decided that my new CMDR was the older brother to my old one. I took a break and recently came back to Elite. The first thing I was go back to LHS 3505 and right before I made the jump all the nostalgia and memories hit at once and I won't lie when I say I shed a tear. It felt like coming back home after years away.

[@torvahnys]

I chose Ray Gateway in Diaguandri after watching a "Picking a home station" video by CMDR Exigeous. That was 2 years ago and I still call Ray Gateway home. I love the discounts in Li Yong Riu territory. Every ship I own was bought in or around Ray Gateway.

[@DNH17]

1:55 Jameson Memorial Station (Shinrarta Dezhra): Jameson has every ship available at all times at a 10% discount but you need a permit to be able to access the station, so not a good option for beginers. 3:33 I Sola Prospect Planetary Station (Brestla): It also has all the ships but are more expensive and takes more time to land there. 4:49 Ray Gateway Station (Diaguandri): A popular spot for bountyhunters (be careful if you have a juicy bounty on you) 5:46 Abraham Lincoln (Sol): The home of humanity, a really populated station and system in general 6:37 Jaques Station (Colonia): For a long time it was one of the farthest stations outside of the main buble, if you like exploring and selling to the cartographers, try traveling there and maybe you will discover a system and have the honor to name it. 7:36 Explorer´s Anchorage (Stuemeae): Closest station to the black hole at the center of the galaxy, a good place also for explorers or deep space miners.

There is a federal military installation right outside which provides great security when hauling a bunch of void opals. Also just a great station for federal rank grinding.

Still I loved the station as my home and I go back to visit my buddy who is still working on getting his Elite rank.

[@nuncapasaran9374]

This is a good guide, thanks! I think for me I have a simple approach to the game, in a way driven by nostalgia for the older games. The first ship I really wanted was the adder because it was one I remember being a part of my childhood. I really love the analogue look of it and even used it in place of the hauler for an intro short range explorer for the road to riches, even though it's worse at it. Simply because it's cooler to me. The other ship I really want when I make a few more space bucks is the Python because again, it was one I recall very fondly from older elites. I could honestly just live in those two ships, though I may end up making my way through others for the fun of experiencing them. So I'm not sure I would base my home station on access to every ship and module, more likely it'd just be a place I thought was cool for my own reasons. But that's the good thing about this game. People can do basically anything that suits them, and I completely get why a lot of players love that station. I also came at it from an oldschool Freelancer player. Noteably there's a lot more player activity and interaction in that game, and Elite is more low key, but I still like it for what it is. Cheers!

It took me a long time to leave the area around Asellus Primus after starting at Baker's Prospect. I hopped back and forth between Beagle 2 Landing in the aforementioned system and Azeban Orbital in Eranin, until I finally settled on Dahan Gateway for my first proper home station. I think the reason I picked it was there were some decent bounty hunting opportunities pretty close to the station. I'm also pretty fond of Whitson Hub in Meliae, which has been my go-to outfitting station for mining. I'm currently based out of Jameson Memorial and I have a little bachelor pad in Ohm City (LHS 20), but honestly none of those feel quite like home. I was legitimately excited when Dahan Gateway was in the top 5 recently for Void Opal prices, and I dropped everything and headed back.

Good information. I've got over a 1,000 hours of time in ED and didn't know that about Jameson. Wow, I guess I could have saved a lot of credits over the past couple of years. Early in the game I would try to purchase things at a discount, and it always felt good saving credits, but after a while, I think one tends to become an impulse buyer. It would be nice to get my ships upgraded with everything I need at one station though, so I will probably be visiting Jameson today.

Not mad at the guy or anything because PVP is part of the game but didn't really wanna bump into him again after that

Mine is Tiliala's Lament. It's a Fleet Operations Carrier type megaship inside the bubble that has a shipyard and such, but due to the unique circumstances regarding its creation, it does not move. Because it's a megaship (i.e. not a regular station) there is never a mail slot, but because it's a megaship (i.e. not an outpost station) there are plenty of large pads available.

I usually end up coming back to hackworth ring. I heard someone say something about hackworth orbital, and I ended up mistaking hackworth *ring* for it, and I ended up using it for trading missions. Theres really no reason to use it, trade routes are terrible compared to other stations, its poorly stocked, and it's in the middle of bumfuck nowhere (just barely outside the power play areas, but still in the bubble). But I'm sentimental about it, as I got both my first type 6 and type 7 there.

I love Kipling orbital on Pleiades nebula. I bought my Dolphin there, lot of amazing views in the region.

[@AeroQC]

Just started playing Elite: Dangerous this week and have pretty much settled in to Farkas Dock, in the AY Indi system, as my home base. I immediately veered off in the opposite direction as soon as I had full control of my first Sidewinder, and stumbled upon Soper Hub as I was looking for routes to trade in and make some credits. I learned that there was a famine going on and many missions that revolved around helping out with the relief. With the nearby systems providing tech and agriculture with quite a few viable loops, I've built a fair bit of change. The local mobsters have appreciated the coffee I've imported, resulting in them taking control of Farkas Dock with the caffeine high and even giving me practice with smuggling missions. I may not stay there forever, but it'll always feel like home.

When I just started playing, I used to live on Baker's Prospect in Asellus Primus, then moved to LHS 3006, Lenoard Nimoy Station. There were even void opals in the planet's ring, right there, and for some time I could sell these right at my home station. Everything was good, I've done missions for my faction, but then the station was captured by New Pilots Initiative. I've tried to prevent that, but couldn't do much on my own... Had to move to another system, still miss my old home thoguh - I loved that place.

My true home is Groombridge 34's Ford City. I know it's 75k ls from the arrival point, but doing trade runs to there really gave me that "space trucker" feel. Plus I noticed that those 50M wing missions pop up a lot there, and once I got my type 9 I could even run some of them all by myself. Ford City is usually Tritium hungry when it comes to the missions, and with a lot of the systems around Groombridge 34's economy specializing in Refineries, it makes for an excellent Tritium run mission base.

Anyone wanting to spend some time in LYR space for the discount, Kehparagwe has plenty of close stations and nearby systems (like Artume) have a decent amount of otherwise rare mission commodities. Goldstein station in Lembava (1 jump away) also sells the Corvette, so it's a good place to grind fed rank.

I also quite enjoy the nearby system nltt 9949, as it has two stations 2ls away from each other, with some missions between the two and many missions to the nearby system beadule (2.8ly away) and it has a mix of fed and imp factions in both stations

Also, the fastest way to approach the station is always to go full throttle until the timer is below 8 seconds, then reduce throttle to 75% (this is bindable, or you could use stepped throttle) - straight path, no skill required.

My initial home system was a place called McCullie ring. It was a great little place with a pretty damn good selection of modules and ships. It's in Wolf's 865 if I remember correctly. I've recently gotten into PVP and have lived in shinrarta for a while but my lease is up and I'm getting the hell out of that place LOL. I can't even go get a loaf of bread without somebody pulling me. Anyway I like that station because nearby in the same system is a ring with low temperature diamonds and void Opals. I took a small ship with no Shields some cargo space and no limpets went out stocked up on void Opals and then just continually did something similar upgrading ships until I could afford better gear. It's got a lot of sentimental value to me and in addition it is also the home of my alternate account. Magnus Gateway is another grade station with a lot of modules. Can't remember what their ship selection was like. I think I'm going to move to REI Gateway and make some new PVP friends and start a little trouble. .
