Home base not set when beginning the game.

When I began the game, I never set a home base.  I didn't know what it meant, so I didn't do anything with it.  After an excursion to an outer island, I died thinking I would return to an alpha terminal.  Instead, I was back at a beta.

Please set it so new players start out with an alpha terminal as their home base to prevent them from being unable to escape the island without spending hours to get out.
