Place your secret base.
Keep in mind traffic patterns and accesibility. A tiny border station way out on the far-west side of Tau-37 may be a good spot, but there's not a lot to do around there.
Also to keep it interesting, no bases 500KM off the edge of the map, or 100km "above" the normal plane of the system.
Anyways, I would put a nice little retreat in the dark debris cloud in New York near Pittsburgh/Maine where you attacked a certain criminal base during one of the early campaign missions. IMO it's perfect - visually concealed and no real reason to go there, but still close to the hub of Liberty.
