So here's what I think. We have two or three general regions as candidates.

The Nyx Region (includes Odin, Castra, Pyro, Tohil, and Bremen.)

The Terra Region (includes Tayac, Magnus, Stanton, Hadrian, Pyro, Goss, and Taranis.)

The Idris Region, which is a bit of an odd duck compared to the first two. (includes Elysium, Tamsa, Banshee, Fora, Garron, and Kabal.)

We can easily classify these as Northwest (or North), East, and Southeast regions, respectively.

Each of these regions share similar characteristics in that they offer various opportunities and benefits, and as long as we set up an Org Hangar in a system relevant to those regions, we will have served the needs of that region at large.

What do you think?

Well I'm late to the party but I officially put Hadrian in for consideration. It's one or two jumps away from quite a few systems of interest including Nyx, Pyro, Terra, and Stanton which gives a good balance of legal and illicit activities...and it's close to Xi'an territory / the "north" edge of the known galaxy...which is good for explorers and traders.

And c'mon...setting up base in an abandoned minefield with two gas giants to provide us fuel and a local station converted to a trading post? Sounds like a solid place to repeatedly crash into things to me.

i tend to agree, nothing super hostile. id rather not have to be on my guard while at home or make it too easy for others to cause us grief
it would be a good idea for people new to the game to stay with the fleet and learn the basics while they can get ammo and fuel for free and get used to fighting while they have the AAA from the turrets of javalins and idrises. so i figure a place like nyx would be good for that plus since its industrial we could teach people how to do trade missions from our own home

Hadrian is extremely high security, and is also riddled with minefields. It's unsafe for pretty much everyone. I wouldn't suggest it.

My biggest reason to say "no" to Nyx is because every pirate and their mom is going to go there, you know it's going to happen don't even lie to me.

Chathcart system and the Spider space station. You will find me there. I think it would be a good place for test.

One of the problems with Odin is that it's so unique, in that it's got one of the largest untapped deposits of minerals in that sector of the galaxy, and that means a lot of organizations are going to be racing to be the first to successfully exploit it.

The challenge? The mineral fields are also where electrical storms happen, and can fry your ship.

Ultimately, if the north is heavily competed, we're better off looking south and/or east. That is to say, we can look around Terra, or around Leir/Fora. The alternative is to leverage our numbers to our advantage, and push people out of Odin in order to maximize our profits. Thoughts?

And nothing super-duper popular, which skeeves me about nyx; I suspect a LOT of people ar headed for nyx, odin, terra, and stanton.. It might behoove us to find something that offers us similar benefits with a much lower profile.

I need to spend some time on the map and look around a bit more. I agree with you that a ton of orgs will be going for that area just for the minerals. Isnt there are something like 3000 orgs (dont quote me on that number just thought I heard that from the live stream.) I know we have the numbers to try to carve out our own system but with the instancing and limited number of systems we might be forced to have a roommate or two.

I'm partial to a PvP heavy area. The game seems to really push the social aspect so even mundane industry stuff might be risky. In which case if we're sitting along a major trade route we can control and have access to easy commerce as long as we can hold onto it.
And given the size of Test Squadron even if we get pushed out we can always push others out until we get strong enough to evict people from places we want.
I think we should pick an area that should yield the most content(pvp and pve) with the most potential wealth.

That was a lot of words to say i don't think we should shy away from possible PvP but embrace it.

One thing to remember is that while we will have a haevy presence in any area we call "home", we cannot OWN territory like one can in EvE.
