Elite Dangerous | System Colonisation Beta Details & Feedback

[Devilish Dave]

For some reason I keep getting told that "System Claim Unsuccessful" been trying for quite long now, even went to another port.

There's nothing there and the icon is green (if it weren't I couldn't even start setting it up). I go through the process, accept the 25M charge and after a little wait, I get this error "System Claim Unsuccessful".

There is a Fleet Carrier hovering above the only planet in that system, could their placement block other users from building there?

I have already seen someone else share this, but I would like to give the feedback that having CMM composites, especially in the tens of thousands, is far too much for any sort of build. Considering how rare this commodities are to begin with, needing 10k-50k in order to build a starport is... Just not fun. Please either remove them entirely from the list of resources needed, or make them about 100 maximum!

 

[Firedrax]

For what I selected the CMM Composite requirements are, 52,310. I do not think this can done in 4 weeks due to the low volumes and landing pad requirements.

 

[crnook]

I agree, CMM Composites need massive supply boost. There wont be any available in a few hours when the building is underway.

 

[Macros Black]

The CMM Conposite requirement is too high with the current availability.
FC jump times will also probably be a problem.

Is colonization possible in Colonia region? Checked two systems - one with large starport, one with outpost - no contact

 

[SpaceExplorer31]

Hi, here are my early feedback :
15 Ly range is perfect for the beginning in my opinion.
Resource requirement seem pretty balanced : very expansive for large starports but smaller teams and solo players can still build their own outposts. But i agree with others : the CMM Composites requirement is a huge issue that, at the current point, is a complete softlock. There is literally not enough CMM Composites available in the whole Bubble to build a single outpost. The issue is not the requirement itself, but the available stocks, but i'm confident it will be adressed.
For user interfaces etc, it's really nice : clean, easy to understand, intuitive, nothing more to say.

Hi folks, we're aware of the CMM Composites discussion and this is being reviewed.

Seems they will need to put out a patch out to make building stations even possible.

Already out of stock in most systems. I grabbed less than 100 before I lost the ability to find any.

This thread is for feedback on the Colonisation feature only. Please keep on topic.

 

[CMDR Cal1pso]

The CMM Composite requirement for building a Coriolis station or even an Outpost seems a little steep. An Outpost requires 3,912 units of CMM Composite which requires a bunch of system-hopping as the biggest single supply is 364 according to Inara. Should be sharply reduced as this will otherwise be a significant resource bottleneck.
View attachment 418282

For comparison, a Coriolis station requires 11,261 units of CMM Composite.

They are not “slightly” overstated, they are grossly overstated. According to Inara's data, only 25 stations with composites have 100 or more available. I.e. 2500 composites for 25 stations with the required 13k for Coriolis and ~53k for Orbis is a complete nonsense.

 

[alexzk]

Something tells me nobody is going to finish building their station just because there isnt enough CMM composites, and probably other resources are gonna be limited very soon as well

Something tells me it will be a lot of new bases manufacturing those soon.

 

[pvaljann]

Perhaps the proposed Brewer megaships from the CG were going to be a source of CMM composites, amongst other things. Seems only 3 on the cards (unless the CG gets extended).

 

[Rebel Yell]

So now we have a problem with antagonistic player groups dropping colonies inside BGS controlled space that had previously been safe due to the hard work of CMDRs. Thanks a lot, several years of hard BGS work are now right down the toilet.

R.I.P. BGS ...but I guess it may result in the same "problem" with Powerplay should "colonies" become eligible for being acquired.

 

[Fresse Blutström]

The fact that Colonia is once again being gutted is no longer bearable!

 

[Kzak]

Colonia seems not to get Colonization - for now.

 

[darkthought]

The fact that Colonia is once again being gutted is no longer bearable!

You do not want this mess over there right now.

 

[fernandofilipe86]

R.I.P. BGS

This will change everything!

 

[Ereshkigal]

I’m having trouble selecting the place for my station I want to build. How do I move that from the default?

 

[alexzk]

Need to increase the cost of colonization. This should be an endgame activity. Not something a player a few days into the game can do. Would also slow things down.

Nope, I'm just happy it is about 1 carrier of mats, that I can do alone without being drained.
