So, sorry if it had been asked before but I'm curious about this for some reasons.

When I made a search about the fleet positions (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,38274.0.html) I found this:

12th Fleet (CONFIRMED): Based at Wolf 359 (a @#%$ assignment for Terrans)
13th Fleet: Based at Ross 128 (the REALLY Terran @#%$ assignment)

Could anyone explain to me, why are these assigments are that bad for Terrans? Thanks in advance.

Because it's backwater duty. Mindless patrols with no event, etc. Go play Derelict.

I've played Derelict.

But anyway, I'd rather be bored and fly around countless patrols with no event as you said, then getting in trouble 24/7 against shivans, NTF or whatever

Well soldiers want glory and to be a hero, not fly patrols around asteroids.

Oh **** in SthCrs the 13th Fleet is based on Betelgeuse! I have to correct it...

Which fleet is based on Betelgeuse?!?

It's not canon. 12th is canon.
