Great news - NC has finally got a custom favorites list!
Being previously tied to Finder's favorites, it supported only local paths on the native filesystems. The lack of internal way to change this list was an old annoyance (1), but since 10.11 it became a real problem (2, 3) as those APIs to access Finder's favorites were deprecated and now may fail under some unknown circumstances.
I've added an internal list, which supports virtually any location NC can show, including complex constructions like "a folder inside an archive placed on a ftp hosting". Initially NC will try to fetch favorites list from Finder, if it fails, NC will fill this list with default folders set.
To manage the favorites list there's a new window (Go->Favorites->Manage Favorites or Ctrl+Cmd+B), where it's possible to add/remove or rearrange the favorite locations:

There's a new hotkey: Cmd+B to quickly add the currently focused panel item to the favorites list.
Also, NC now gathers a list of frequently visited locations, which are now shown by Cmd+3 in quick navigation list and in Go->Frequently Visisited. NC accounts visits' frequency and time points, so it can calculate something like a "frecency"(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frecency) when showing the most actual locations. Locations, which are included in Favorites list, are excluded from the frequently visited list.
Here's a build with the additions:
