A lot of folks have been requesting that Grim HEX be added as a starting location. What are our thoughts on that?

TL;DRGrim HEX lacks facilities other starting locations have, so it won't be a starting location in 3.15, though it remains under active discussion.

So we talked about Grim HEX, and it's still a topic of discussion. Unfortunately, Grim HEX doesn't have all of the facilities that all the other starting locations have. So obviously, when we take into account new players, and new players come into the verse, we have to make sure that you can get your ground vehicle out or you can get access to your ship and so on and so forth. So it's not to say that we won't add Grim HEX as a starting location in the future. For 3.15, it won't be a starting location, but it is something that we are actively discussing, Todd, myself, Chris, Tony, about Grim HEX. So all you criminals out there, we do want to do you a solid, but for now, you'll have to be UEE until you go criminal.

Yeah, I think there also needs to be consideration for the beginning player experience. For the first-time player of Star Citizen who doesn't know any better, is Grim HEX the place we want them to start that journey if they've never experienced the PU before? That's definitely got to be factored into the conversation.

Yeah, there's always more considerations than people think about. There's lots of different angles that you can take on it. But yeah, like I said, it's definitely on the table. We're discussing it, but I doubt we'll be adding it as a starting location for 3.15.
