Glad you're enjoying it so far! I know a random start has been a commonly requested feature in the game for a long time and tried my best to make it a reality in the scenario.

I don't see a Random Start option. How am I missing this?

Very last option on the starting list.

What does it say? Random Start? My last option is Rogue PX-37
Do I have to update the scenario somehow?
I've restarted the game a few times also. I'm not seeing it. Odd.

It's right past that and yes it says random start.

OK, I see it now. I unsubbed and resubbed and that seems to have fixed it.

When I changed the difficulty settings before starting I got an infinite loading screen. When I restarted without doing that it loaded fine.
I started inside a crashed DSE back on a large Temperate Rainforest planet inside Zirax territory. LOL
Looks like an interesting start. Great work!

Hmm you should not have started inside a wreck. Weird.

Assuming that that isn't a bug (given what Ravien said), you're lucky! I haven't run across any wreckage of any kind on my planet, and I've zoomed around pretty much the whole thing on a hoverbike. LOL There are some Zirax territories/POIs that I have no hope of taking on with the starter pistol and a hoverbike, a Talon territory with a village but, alas, no market, and a Polaris one with the "higher-end" trading station. I haven't found a drone base yet, but I'm sure there is one. Or maybe not! Oddly, I have not seen a single drone anywhere, not even guarding deposits or around the Zirax POIs I found. I'm guessing every one of these "random" starters has a drone base, but maybe not? Since I am still just on a hoverbike with a handheld scanner, it's easy to miss things.

The planet does have neo, cobalt, and small promethium deposits, though, so assuming I can find everything else, I'll be able to build the starter CV I always bring in right on the starter planet. There are also zasc surface rocks scattered around one of the biomes, for all the good they do me right now. LOL I'm currently working on gathering the stuff to bring in the little mining SV that I always start with. I'd just finished a tiny "emergency" base when I stopped for the night. And I only died of radiation exposure once before I got it in! LOL

EDIT: I was wrong! There is no drone base on the planet. The only possible attackers my base stats show are Talon, and I don't intend to antagonize them. So, that's nice. Don't have to worry about turrets for my wee emergency bunker.

Is it really Random?
I mean: I start and got an Teleporter Key "L"
It was really fun.
--------------------------
Here is the Question:
When i start a New Game and get the same Teleporter Key "L"
is it the same Planet or something Difference?

IDK, why don't you try it and let us know?

If I'm remembering right, the description says there are "over 20" possible starting planets, so I suspect that each teleporter randomly picks one of the 20+ to send you to. Is this "really random?" It's random in the sense that you don't get to pick where you start, yes, but it's not random in the sense that it could be any planet at all.

And there's a good reason for that. Many if not most of the planets/systems in the game aren't going to allow you to progress beyond a certain point. For instance, if there's no cobalt or neo or sathium in a system, you're not going to be building a CV to get you out of that system, so you'd be stuck. With this "random" system, I'm guessing that the possible starters could be made to have parameters such that it's at least possible, even if very, very difficult, to leave the starting planet/system.

I'm also guessing that if the system works well and people enjoy it, more planets could be added as possible starters in the future, but really only Ravien knows. :)

It's not actually possible to start on a truly random planet. They all have to be manually added to the scenario and then linked via a teleporter.
This is as "random" as you can get given the limitations of the game.

i checked that on Creative, right know :D
Its OK more Starters is Good too. I like this feature.
real Random is more for Single Player (cause all kind of Problems)

OK, I see what you mean. I tried several other random starters and each time I arrived on a platform with a portal on it. There was no portal in the one I started inside the wreck.
