What is your preferred starting solar system and why?

[Bwash]

I've been starting in Trinary I systems because I felt like more stars with their own clutter meant more stuff to put mining/research stations on.
But someone pointed out to me that Trinary systems also tend to be bigger which makes traversing said systems slower.
But I don't really know if that is as big an issue as that guy made it out to be.

But it made me wonder:
What type of system do you prefer to start in and why?
Noticable pros and cons?

personally:
Trinary I:
Pros:
More stuff to put stuff on.
Cons:
Maybe a bit TOO much stuff to put stuff on.

Sol:
Pros:
Recognizable
Cons:
Maybe kinda boring

Och! No one answer this one in 4 years, I would like to know latest version what is best star system to this day without using Origin proved system.

That's would help create custom empire here and there.

You bumped a 4 years old threat...crazy xeno :)

I thought btw it was only pure cosmetic or RPG things... ?

Sol is nice, you have a garanteed terraforming candidate, and another one in Proxima Centauri.

Have you tried Deneb?

I made my own personnaly but it's a bit overpowered lol

As far as I'm aware, star type for your starting system is purely cosmetic, and the only benefit a binary or trinary system gives is bigger potential for terraforming candidates within your starting system (which you won't be able to take advantage of in early game anyway).

People have starting system preferences primarily for roleplay purposes.

I like the cool blue background of the Ocean Paradise start. It definitely sets a mood. It does also always start in a nebula. so you have some privacy while you're putting on space uniforms.

Sol.

Simply because you already know the guaranteed habitable planets - Sirius and Alpha Centauri - and you know they are in a binary and a trinary system. This really speeds up the immediate exploration and colonization after game start.

You also get two guaranteed terraforming candidates, unless you play Void Dwellers (Sol). Means at least two more habitable planets within your capital sector.

Also i'm a human IRL, so playing humans in the game seems pretty natural.

I laugh!

Sol, cause I like being the humans

Since the Kaleidoscope Trinary I got some new advantage.

I've played a non-human species once in my 250 hours of Stellaris, and even though there was no reason for me to be, I was still lost lmao

I do enjoy Sol, but I don't want 2 sols in system, although.
