If that's the case, then in most cases you should wait until both new spawns are in before settling on a system. Unless of course, the first system that spawns is an ideal one, like a perfect 1-picket constellation. Whenever you decide it's a good idea to hold off, post a ''"No current focus"'' mail explaining why the existing constellation is bad or why you decided it was a good idea to wait. That way the next person can make an informed decision when they login or a new incursion spawns.

We want to spend as much time running as possible, while keeping the moving down to a minimum. There's enough moving around in incursions by default, so we don't want to move prematurely unless there's a desperate need to do so.

If possible, favour going to systems close to other [[campuses]]. This will help new people swing by to try our incursions, or raise awareness of our community.
