How and where did you search? There are lots* of CMMs availlable.

When compared to the obvious reward of owning a system, these "rewards" seem both weak, and in no way connected specifically to claiming a system. Consider me extremely skeptical. It's the same issue we had with fleet carriers. They had to make them a solo activity because there's no way to share ownership of something in elite. We're all playing a solo game, occasionally, concurrently with others. Helping me claim a system is no more a group activity with group rewards than helping me get a FC was. Sure, my squadron has some fringe benefits from me owning one, but it's not really a "reward" for doing it.
Do the market bonuses apply to everyone, everyone who participated, or just the architect? Do we know yet?
You misread. These upgrades don't require CMMs, i.e "...5000t of goods and not a CMM in sight (on the shopping list)"
I have zero problems finding CMMs
Of course, if you only consider direct gameplay bonus perttaining to your commander, then it would seem weak and playing solo.
If you consider the growth, expansion and wealth of the minor faction you chose to aid by acting as architect then there are broader ebnefits affecting a larger scope.
It's a matter of perspective. I'm not responsible for your playstyle nor value system.

Upgrades?Cool, so upgrades are like, 5000t of goods with no CMMs in sight. So much for "not achievable by individuals"
I would guess folks are using Inara, they will only find depleted stocks that way.
It's seems pretty standard to consider gameplay benefits when playing a game.
However, I don't want to drag this out at the risk of derailing the thread-- we'll agree to disagree. o7
Yes wait for thursdays tick

I know this will be a controversial suggestion but I think you should shut off the ability to buy new claims.
Reason:
The fact there are people saying that they lost theirs and someone else now owns the system is a MAJOR big when you guaranteed that no one else can take it. It will also give you time to find and patch the big causing it.
It will make people mad that they can't claim anything new but it's better to fix that than lose players and their interest when systems the like are lost to a glitch, bug or transaction server error.

Just a quick question for you folks as im way out in the black and just mulling over taking part when im back.

Thanks in advance

A random faction?
I doubt that was more than pure luck... the faction I expanded with was my sqn faction.... so I just got three randos.
I'd like to report the game has some data consistency issues. Exhibit A: Completed star port, It says it's completed, I am currently landed on it and accessing station services.
However, colonization menu thinks it's not done yet, I still have the mission in my Transactions panel despite having no way to complete it, since it's completed already
I can't place anything else. Note, when I first placed the station the below slots were green and the game notified me I could plan out my second thing to build. However, I had to quit the game do some stuff and upon relogging I find I can't do anything anymore. I can also abandon my claim to the system I already claimed, while sitting on the station I built, which seems a bit scary so I'm not going to push the button to find out what happens.

This is basically my point, my squadron has no faction, what happens if i start a new unpopulated system? does it just pick 3 random factions, player/non player?
Does the system have no faction?
If its just random i may as well just chose one that supports Pranav to help with PP.

Seems some people are getting to build more after their first outpost many others of us do not see any of this as we are locked out until Thursday.
"Complete the primary port, time remaining..." and "Congratulations Architect! This facility is complete and operational" and the same time.
AFAIK there's nothing I can click on to see those screens.
Either you should not be able to build until the Thursday tick (which is what they said before release), and the ability to do so until relogging is a bug, or you should be able to build and the mission staying is a bug.
If you tell everybody then they will try to jump their FCs which will add more overload and the jump times will get worse again.
Regardless the countdown to build the port should disappear and I shouldn't be able to abandon my claim while sitting on the primary port I built!
A small part of me does want to press the button and see if the outpost puffs out of existence around me!
