Would you take this system?

[Kryndude]

It's not really a choke point because I'm going to expand beyond that system anyways. It has a meager 2 EC deposit. Skipping it will save me 100 alloys and 2 admin caps. Empire sprawl is not much of an issue once you get your starports. However it would cause my second colony to be a seperate sector and later on won't benefit from trade protection from bastions. Your thoughts?

Yes, there's a juicy planet on the other side of the rainbow.

Sector size has been increased to 3 hyperlane jumps now so it should be covered by your home sector.

Your empire cohesion's gonna go to hell if you split your empire in half this early, and the half without your capital will be cut off from trade routes.

If your territory isn't connected you get a seperate sector.

A single starport can solve that. Also as long as you keep piracy in check trade will still flow through empty systems AFAIK.

I was very much inclined to do so but in the end just took it for the border.
