So there was a lot of feedback on Bristol's location blocking the Freeport and providing a safe zone for ships to run to.
This is the first of the issue people mentioned in feedback and PMs it just all takes a while.
I have for now picked the following as useful or doable spots:
I should have probably numbered these but too late now:
All of the following free the Freeport junction. We will also destroy any base that will be built there should our move request be passed.
1. 34DE: Opposite site of the system, still close to the Freeport but further away from the mining area. Good access for buyers.
2. 45E: Will be close to the Freeport, not much further from the Mine field. Better defensability and nice spot with the exclusion.
3. 45FG: Close to Freeport, pmuch same range to mining field.
This one will also reduce the safe zones of the faction in the system from 2 to 1.
4. Marshall: Moving the station closer to Marshall will keep the mining area at pretty much the same distance. But it might make the installation very unattractive to ore buyers.
I'd like to ask your opinions on this. This is not a poll, the decision where we request this moved will be our own. It's also not guaranteed staff will move the base.
We have hopes though considering it's a community wish to improve gameplay in the area.
I still think you should do what I said Thursday: Put it to Marshall Station, don't occupy more space than that area. People want FP2 and the surrounding area as activity hub, give it to them. Marshall is already defended, so if Bristol is moved there, there are not further "losses" for anyone coming to Bering while you have the NPC station better defended, and each PoB is defending each other too.
My only worry with moving it to Marshall is commercial viability. would those people that buy, fly there? I don't actually trade military salvage so I have no idea what the most common routes are.
Well, Freeport 2 is trying hard to shoot down my OS&C ship on approach to Bristol. Marshall might be somewhat more soft in that regard, so yea - i don't mind flying all the way there to grab a load of mil.salvage.
Peace, being the distant dream it is, comes inevitably, and goes hand in hand with justice.
Cursed be the war.

I do, and most of the routes use the Hamburg hole.

Marshall station sit right near to hamburg hole, that nohow not less attractive, maybe only for OC trips, that position make it high attractive for Gamma arti/relics trade.
