They are there. You have to explore and find the planets/space that they are in yourself though. Depending on the layout of your random generated system, you will either need a warp SV or warp CV to reach them.

I like it much better this way, since you can't just make a straight line for them as soon as your drop pod lands anymore. You have to actually progress and find them now.

Digging through the yaml files I have seen that every random game I've started in 8.0 has had at least 3 trade stations spread across the sector map.

I like space starts so when I first drop, I spawn a weak small sv and live on the trade station in orbit and/or spawn a small base in orbit and go back and forth to the surface from there. I don't like being locked into the survival start as I like to be a merchant/trader in the beginning. And then explorer.

Since the new survival start does not seem to have a trade station in orbit or on planet, I gradually build up until I can SV warp into a system that does have them and go back and forth.

It just makes it a fun start for me as it can feel like you're playing a game like X3, Freelancer and Elite Dangerous etc.

Edit: Oh, and if you want a heads up on station locations, run your seed into the Solar system Generator beforehand and have a look first.

For me the game has now become Scouting manager instead of mining manager. 4 hours of searching for neutral POI, or admin building is not my idea of fun.

For me, I'd like us to be able to create scout drones (with us able to give various instructions).
