Lightyear Frontier: First Base - Where to Build?

Short answer

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: id=3697298479 You can try this place near the falls.

The problem

It's been a while - like 2025 - since I played. Now that 1.0 is out I'm starting over and I'd like to get a nice spot for my first base. From where you get your ship - where is good? I started a base by a lake but the terrain is hilly and there's a lot of the floating mobs around.
