You can’t name the colonisation ship. Once your stations are built, select them in the system map and then click the (i) info button top right of the system map ui to find the rename options. You can keep re-rolling for an auto generated name or pay 5000 ARX to give it your own name. The "filthy soulless hole of a station" (Buur's words not mine) featured in their video was mine. I named it "The Happy Bottom Riding Club"by paying ARX.

That was the one! I love "The Happy Bottom Riding Club".
Thanks for the steer. Do you know how many Arx it costs to rename stations/settlements?
The video also seemed to show a deserted interior, no people, perhaps under construction?
I can't help, but I too would love to know when ground settlements actually appear. Perhaps at the Thursday tick, to put the assets in game?
After a player finishes one system, can he repeat colonization somewhere else?
As many times as you want, in fact you can return to your old system and continue making new stuff there, you are always the architect of every system you colonise!
Yes, there's even a nice map screen which presumably will keep track of them...
Once it is built you can change the name.
Does anyone have any idea how to produce a refinery economy yet?
Anyone know about the following?
Building a ground structure for say refining. Does the planet type matter (I'd think it might) to make a refinery more productive? Like say placing one on a metallic planet might be better than a rocky? Or even down to the composition of the surface.
Is it better to make an agricultural place on an atmosphere planet?

I haven't been able to place any refinery types yet. They don't show up as available to build for me.
The refinery thing I talk about is a ground installation.
You can only build certain things with construction points. So have to make certain things before others. You have to go to the ground level under 2k and then activate the SC-Suite. From there you get to choose what you want to build in the immediate area you are floating in.
5000 ARX
And yes, at the moment it still has scaffolding around it, very little lighting inside, and all the services except Apex are currently closed. I suspect that will change at next Thursday's server reboot.
Oh god I wish they did away with the CMM composites. Triple the steel needed or something I dont care, but dont force me to land on planets for 200 tons at a time. Frontier, that's not an incentive to finally use the planetary ports. Unless they have consistent enough supply to fill my cargo every time, it fills me with dread.
“Nothing better than flying my Type 9 to ground settlements for CMM composites!” said no one, ever.
Is there a public source for this data? Just curious because it'd be neat to look at.
Why would you when a T8 does it better?
Of course I always found the surface ports to have more character than the orbital ones.

Would be okay if I wasn't just finding 200 cmm composites every time
Does anyone know if you can remove an outpost (or other facility?)
I've built an outpost because I can't do a station in 4 weeks, but once I have the station then the outpost will be against my system theme and I'll want it gone. Is that possible?

It's a byproduct of other analysis I do.
(The line for "original bubble" should show up from tomorrow morning)
