You have taken my quote out of context. I am quoting a statement that only 50 people per instance, with a max of 100. GG Redin' skillz.

And you're the one who's not thinking, either.
A Bengal requires logistics. Coordination. Things to allow it to function.
All of which could be cut off, and leave it vulnerable.
You don't have that problem with a permanent NPC base.

Nkato wtf does my quote concerning about how many people can fit in a server instance has to do with making a bengal our home. I never once said lets make a bengal our home in my statement.
Lets read again:
Vimes: "The thing is, this wont be EvE i.e only one instance per area, EvE can hold thousands of player in the same area while SC can hold at max 100 players (and that is a optimistic number, personally i havent seen RSI mention over 50 players in the same instance) in the same area."
My response: "A hole in theory is bengal. It aline can carry more than 50 ships and then there is the crew of 100+ for the bengal alone. The only way to really take down a bengal is with another large capital ship like a battleship or another bengal. So right there you easilly break 300 in a instance. Unless bengals are meant to be unchallenged and the rulibg authority of that instance and then people will simply park it in a profitible instance and mine/harvest in safety."
Not once did we say lets make a bengal our home. We were discussing server sizes. You need to take you anti-bengal mindset and put it in a box and release it when its actually a topic being discussed, not whenever a bengal is mentioned.
I'm not pro or anti-bengal. I'm just more concerned about making sure we don't get trapped in an EVE-style Rape-Cage because we couldn't maintain our ship.
The topic of the thread is about picking a home, and a Bengal is technically a mobile home - I was pointing out that it's important to remember that everything has an upside and a downside; the Bengal just happens to have more moving parts to worry about, which creates a maintenance and upkeep nightmare when someone decides to be a chucklefuck and cut you off.
You're the one being combative; I'm simply pointing out facts.

PYRO IS TEH BEST PLACE IN THE VERSE
Look at dem options; it's got over 9000 jump points! Pyro also has a sick station ready for us to steal, it's super close to Nyx, Terra, and Earth, and it's centrally located in Human space so we're unlikely to get roffle powned by aliens.

I like that it has lots of small and medium points. But it only has one large jump point and that could possibly be exploited for both good and bad.PYRO IS TEH BEST PLACE IN THE VERSE

Ultimately, the galaxy map is very tangled, there is no true "direct route" from one side to the other, so we need to decide as an org what region(s) we want to centralize ourselves in for a given time period. This would reduce the number of choices far more easily than a 11-page debate ever could.

Just wanted to point out Magnus System.
Holy Cow! ..... Magnus is a North to South and East to West (so to speak) pinch point for All Large and Most Medium shipping lanes.
Talking... The Major Trade Lane Of The Verse.
The Big Rigs with the Big Bucks have to come through Magnus.
This could be a Toll Gate / Fee for safe passage.
LOL... you know.... safe passage from our own pirate group.
Sounds like Magnus is Lite on Law enforcement. It's unclaimed and developing.
And we would just be offering a service... you know... protection... no law against that.
Magnus has its own safe rated gas giant for our starfares to collect fuel.
Only our Starfares can offer fuel within the Magnus System. Thats a good rule.. ensures a quality product for our traveling friends.
And there are some other near by opportunities.
1 jump away...
A new asteroid belt in Ellis System from a smashed 11th planet for Mining.
3 jump away...
Hades System is a junk yard dream. Tomb raiding and all kinds of fun stuff.
5 jump away...
Banu trading in Corel System that may also double as a jump off point for deep space exploring.
Check out the map Mammonlord posted above.

The system with the best brewery! What system has the best brewery?!? Never underestimate the power of drunken TESTies. Drunk = high morale = will to fly into suns with reckless abandon.
Seriously though, in my mind, a system with multiple entry and exit points would be harder to defend against coordinated attack. I'd pick a system with 1-3 known jump points, but not to far off the beaten path so we have access to major centres and trade routes. Unless the point of the org is to be based at a major centre. In which case, back to my first point: BREWERY.
That is all.

Not sure about you all, but I have a brewery next to my computer... I call it @Blind Owl and he pays for my booze!
Is there a star system with multiple suns? Because if we could crash into two suns at the same time, we can throw a "Mission Accomplished" banner up on the Bengal and have a real good time!

I do? Shit. I thought you were the beer fridge.
Who cares what mission. So long as its accomplished. And we're drunk. Priorities.
Lord, if I found a Binary System with Good planets, I'd name it Manticore....Ya, I'm that kind SciFi Geek.... If I was responsible for finding a regular Star system that we'd end up colonizing, I'd name it Tannhauser, that way while defending it at the jump point entry, We'd be Battling at Tannhauser Gate! If you get those Scifi References, you have Great taste in Scifi.....and are probably older than 25.......
Yes. The other reference, not so much. And I'm a sci fi geek. Guess I can't read them all.
David Weber's "Honor Harrington" Book series. The main Protagonist's home system is a binary star system, with 3 quite hospitable (is a little turbulent planets) Manticore, Sphinx, and Griffon. It's a DAMN GREAT series and a suggested read for any SciFi fan
I'll check it out. Just started into Iain M. Banks' Consider Pheblas.
