You don't. It's a figure of speech used by players to say where they consider their 'home'

You just can't.

Closest there is right now is-

A: If you paid your insurance, it will spawn you the last place you had docked.

B: If you are desperate and pick your free sidewinder respawn, it will spawn you where you first started the game.

I have a few older ships stashed where a "Free sidewinder" start would put me (Though I had a very wonky launch experience with customer support only fixing half my problems. So for all I know, it would send me somewhere else than LTT 15449 is I did now).

Closest to setting a home station is moving all the ships you have to that station.

Yep, all you need to do is point your finger at a star or space station and say "There's no place like home" three times. And viola, that place becomes "your home".

Doing this is not compulsory, and you don't actually get any benefits or anything for doing this. It's purely a head-canon thing.

The location where you restart the game if you die without enough cash in the bank to pay the insurance bill is fixed when you start playing the game. You can't change it. Deleting your save game might change it to whatever the current Newbie system is, it might not; I'm not sure. But even so, you can't manually pick which system.

Yup - no home ports -

this is as good as it gets - but you can bookmark a system by putting a sidewinder in storage.

And soon there'll be an actual bookmark option.

You can't, you just call it one. For example--

I am currently working hard to reach combat rank Elite so I can make the founders world my home planet,

Sinked almost 500 hours in this game and i'm at the dangerous rank. Not grinding my way, making money while i'm actually ranking up.

Well that sounds good. I am deadly and progress feels extremely slow.
