Just logged in for the first time since completing my outpost, I still got an inbox warning that I had 3 weeks 5 days to complete it. I checked on the galaxy map and the outpost's still good. Is this what other people are seeing? Maybe the warnings keep coming until the Thursday tick makes the system officially occupied.

Nothing if all you are expecting is to pay CR. Cost of claim is 25 million and no net cost to materials, just a LOT of hauling.
Yes that's what a lot of people are seeing. Having the mission and mixed messages about things being complete yet not available is confusing.
Additionally confusing is that people appear to be able to make more progress if they do so before logging out after completing the port. Once you log out you are then locked out of doing anything else.
I see well that I have a billion does mean I did already allot of hauling,
It's just random factions. What I meant was I'm pretty sure that "third faction is your allegience" was just luck.
I've been able to complete an outpost in one system so far and I'm floored with the quality and quantity of the content. Everything's all really well balanced. The commodity requirements are fair and it's now clear to be that there's a lot of complex gameplay to be unlocked.
I've encountered a couple of bugs, but they seem to be mostly down to server load due to everyone trying to do the same thing at once.
This is a fantastic release for FDev, you've really outdone yourselves this time! I'm speaking as someone with 59 weeks of game time.

I hope not because that could lead to a situation where the timer expires before the Thursday tick due to bad timing
Weird. As soon as I finished the last delivery, I got the whole "congratulations" bit and it's all done. No relogging etc.
Ok in which case the official guide is misleading then as it states the third one is the one you are aligned with.

That sounds pretty frustrating, the combination of not being able to make new PMFs and not being able to pick who controls the initial station makes this feel like I'm doing someone else's dirty work. I don't even think you get to have your commander be the head of the station or have your name on what you built in any way that others can see.
What I've seen reported elsewhere is that you get the following influence distribution
If you colonise with the same faction your squadron is aligned to:
- colonising squadron faction: 60%
- nearby non-Anarchy faction: 20%
- nearby Anarchy faction: 20%
If you colonise with a different faction:
- colonising faction: 60%
- nearby non-Anarchy faction: 20%
- squadron faction: 13%
- nearby Anarchy faction: 7%
It may be different again if either your colonising or squadron faction or both are themselves an Anarchy faction, or you may just get a system with a lot of Anarchy factions in it.
IDK if this helps or adds to the mystery but now there's a System Colonization Ship in the system I launched from, with icons indicating it's related to a mission, but it can't be interacted with in any way except to descend to hanger /return to surface or take off.
... I just logged off on the colonization ship. When I logged on I was on my station.

i see no issue currently.
I don't think the idea is to fully populate a system in no time with little effort. I think the idea here is a single CMDR can get a system here and there over time. Maybe claim one system and plop a station maybe a planetary output, and move on to another. Or, you build out one system fully over a longer period of time. Of course you can also work with a team of people and expedite the process.
I didn't say there was a need to relog. However from what I and many others have experienced is that after congratulations/port appears/colonisation ship flies off, if you log out then, when you come back you still have the mission and have no options to build anything. All is grey and says construction cannot start until the port is complete. If you don't log out it seems you get the option to build more or colonise another system.
I am currently having the same issue. I could build stuff but after logging out can't build anything and can't colonize any other system.
