Absolutely not necessary.
Construction of coriolis, it is about 75-77 trips by cutter. If the purchase station is not far, the purchase and sale route is 10-12 minutes.
Then mathematics will tell you that this is about 15-16 hours if you only engage in this activity.
If there are 3-4 people, the coriolis is built in one evening
ONLY if you have close systems with commodities.
I started building a base in the asteroid last night, there are exactly the same amount of resources needed, now I'm loading the carrier with the remaining resources for the second time, I'm doing everything alone.Absolutely not necessary.

You know what, guys? I take my words back about paying people to unload to colony ship. I set up a trade to unload aluminium and titanium to colony ship for the highest profit haul possible, and people spit on that. I lost 5k worth of cargo, and its not even the rare CMM composites.
Either FDev comes up with a way to do some sort of contract to make people not steal, or NPC haulers. No, I don't care about the whole player economy anymore. Or FDev should do the alternative of other ways to progress on the construction than space trucking.

how ? nothing working yet here. do you have to log in some specific way?Looks Fixed now
I have a lot of systems around me. I did not wait for the SMM, took how much was available, loaded others and flew away.
And now there are no problems with CMM.
That's why I said, if not far.
My carrier stands still, I fly only on a cutter and sometimes on a T8.
Another thing is that while I fly a mule, I am stupid from this monotonous stupid work
Everyone else log off this forum, the Internet has been won!
Yes, that's for sure. Coriolis and the asteroid base are not a problem. I agree with you.
Ha! We should be able to set the profit at the colonisation ship so people only benefit from the delivery of material, rather than getting rich buying materials from your fleet carrier and using them for their own effort.
The trade-off is it takes much more time to get resources to those far-flung systems.
Seconded, this should worry Fdev because a lot of people say they get tired of hauling which means those players will not do system colonization again or skip it for a loooong time. There is already a slight downward trend in concurrent players on Steam.

Don't forget that there's even more hauling if you want to build planetary settlements/installations in the system. This is one of the worst gameplay designs I've ever seen in my gaming career. I asked several friends if they would return to the game to build some stations, but none is interested in another grind fest. I decided to try it myself and good grief...
I play Euro/American Truck Simulator, I enjoy playing a courier, but not like this. It's incredibly shallow in ED, this game right now offers nothing but endless grinding. These devs look like they don't have other vision to keep players occupied.
To be honest, planetary settlements are mostly 5-10K resources, so not too bad. With the exception of the tier 3 port which is even more resource-consuming than an Ocellus, but that is fitting when looking at the benefits that tier 3 port gives.
That's both reassuring and worrying at the same time.
Reassuring because they are working on it, but the picture of an Asp Scout, in the context of fixing something, feels ominous.
I am aware that they require less resources, but my point stands. Once you finish your station, you will be hauling even more. What a joke.
It's an Asp Scout that is flying, at least, and not as a smoking wreck on a planetary surface. Look at the bright side.That's both reassuring and worrying at the same time.

As I said if you have commodities close it is easy to do it in a ship.
But some systems now are build pretty far from some commodities, so it is not universal thing.
Only if you choose to.
I'm struggling why people are doing a thing that they are moaning about. For example Exploration doesn't appeal to me so I do very little of it.
Before you even start it's clear what's involved. Quantity of goods required is not hidden, so you know what you are getting into.
Also people seem to be in a hurry to get everything finished this week. I'm looking at this as a 1 or 2 year project for my 30 installations. I'll be doing other things and then come back and complete another installation.
Meanwhile many Cmdrs, myself included, are throughly enjoying this content.
Thanks FDev
