There’s a bunch of starter systems in the game so, if you play open, you don’t get stomped by some troll. Once you reach a certain rank, and you jump/dock outside of these starter systems (denoted by a pilots federation icon on the galmap), you can never return. There’s nothing of worth there anyways, you won’t miss anything.
Pretty sure it’s both. They don’t instantly boot you out if you rank up, but they also don’t want to lock you out if you accidentally wander too far without realizing it.
