Picking Your Home Location
You can currently pick from 1 of 4 locations to set as your home location. This will be where you first wake up/respawn and where your Pledge Store purchased items and ships will be located at.
As you loot and store items in other locations throughout Stanton, or when a Character Reset occurs, all of those items and your ships will show up at this location now.
You can always change your respawn point, so it's not a big deal which location you choose, but here is some information to help guide your decision.
note
Game patches cause a Character Reset and will also move your items to your home location.
Area 18 (ArcCorp)
Area18 is one of the main commercial ports for interplanetary traffic in the surrounding region of ArcCorp. Travellers can find a variety of goods from trusted names as well as local providers, if they're not overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of this landing zone.
