I have a question, I will soon be reaching the point where I can exchange my CP points for a ship, and my question is this.

If I do that, will the ship spawn where I want it to, like can I change the location and the system and such, or does it appere at my present location by default?

It will appear at your location

I have another question, and this is for anybody who reads this, but des anyone use the surveys to earn CP points, and if you do what do you find trustworthy?

Try to only use the ones that are worth 499CPs. Those have always worked for me, though not every one of them will pay off.

Blvd-media mostly pays off, without tons of spam. CPALeads is just the opposite; few pay off, and all send TONS of spam.
