If there are any threads I didn't see them. All the ones I found are over a year old or locked.

This is one of my favorite all time games and I'm getting back into playing after a 6 month "break". Just a few questions I'd ask on the official forums but there is very little traffic there.

I'm playing this game as a Pirate but eventually would like to get the Hub and PHQ. So from what I've read it looks as though if I just leave the Boron and Teladi alone I should be alright? Is this correct?
