I have been really lucky with my start.
took a easy bounty in a system nearby and while scouting the rest of the system,
I found a Legion only with "minor" d-mods. It was a real struggle to get it home (hat to scuttle parts of my fleet)
and was running dry in an empty system though my distress call was answered by a really friendly Sindrian fleet which saved me an my crew.
I had to bank it for some time until i needed a bigger fleet.
Now I own a class 5 earth like planet with ruins and a class 5 jungle moon orbiting it,with ruins, too.
Also somewhat close to the core sector (~8 Days at Burn 16 to Westernesse, 9 to Tyle )
