Making Rech more attractive

Rech: Gateway to Arden

If you're hopping through the Spinward Main at jump-2, consider a stop-over at Rech (SPIN2112 D9957AA-6).

From Mora

Consider the trip from Mora to Arden at jump-2:

Mora (A) - Rorise (C) - Somem (C) - Vanejen (C) - Heroni (E) - Belizo (B) - Jae Tellona (A)* - Fulacin (A) - Tureded (C) - Echiste (C) - RECH (D) ...

You might want to hit Rhylanor along the way. Just make a loop at Jae Tellona:

Jae Tellona (A)* - Rylanor (A) - Porozlo (A) [jump-1] - Fulacin (A)

By stopping at Rech, you can jump past Djinni (Red) and Wypoc (Amber) into Dinomn (a good B-class starport). The rest of the route to Arden skips the smaller starports and favors the better ones:

... Denomn (B) - Extolay (B) - Tionale (C) - Tremous Dex (B) - Zircon (C) - Arden (B)​

Yes, there's a more-spinward route:

Fulacin (A) - Kinorb (C) - Treece (D) - Yori (C) - Regina (A) - Extolay (B)​

compared to

Fulacin (A) - Tureded (C) - Echiste (C) - Rech (D) - Denomn (B) - Extolay (B)​



From Lunion

If you're coming from Lunion, you'll probably end up at Rech.

Lunion (A) - Capon (B) - Byret (B) - Fosey (A) - Garrineski (B) - Icetina (B) - La'Belle (C) - Tureded (C) - Echiste (C) - RECH (D) - Denomn (B) - Extolay (B)​

This is actually two jump-2 jumps shorter than the Regina route, though any trip that way has the benefit of hitting Yori (high-pop) and Regina.


Polishing Rech

Okay, if I were the charismatic dictator of Rech, I'd do my best to turn Rech into an attractive stop. Probably turn its underground maze into a sort of museum of old ships and set up some amazing casinos and other entertainment. Maybe something that you can't get anywhere else.

What would you do?
 
My suggestion, figure trade patterns with Yori, Dinom or even Treece. Then build a trade Policy. Example, if you decide that a market for water exist on desert world Yori and K'Kirka, allow free bulk loading of water for ships going there. As to Casino, a law level of 2 on Dinom make me think that Sin City for people of Regina (law level 9) might be closer to home than Reach .

As usual, have fun
