Elite Dangerous | Trailblazers Update 1 - Thursday 6th March

It's not really "your" faction or Cannon's faction, more than it's mine. All factions are NPC and anyone can have their squadron pledged to any faction they want. The difference now is that you can use colonization to expand them through new colonizes, but in reality makes no difference since it was all fluff from the beginning so no one really cares except maybe people role-playing a particular faction. But it wasn't "their" faction to play with anyway.
I don't really get your point.

Player factions were created by players and put in the game by fdev on their behalf. The players chose the name and the home system of their faction. But even if you adopt an NPC faction it is still your faction in as much as your football team is your team.

Its true that anyone can create a squadron and align it with any faction player or otherwise that they wish. Nobody can stop you aligning with any faction. There are probably a dozen player groups who are aligned to The Dark Wheel for instance.
 
Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed Architect view persisting when switching between Powerplay mode & Architect mode on the Galaxy Map
  • Fixed Galaxy Map filters resetting

This is lovely, however my inner Powerplay autist informs me that Powerplay still has many things still switched off, unbalanced and in need of tweaking.
I am really, really, really hoping that existing game features get love and attention this year. Shadows & aliasing problems are my number 1, followed by combat balance, that one megathread with the list of things that don't make sense that I've lost track of, this thread of issues the tracker is a fail for https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...ing-due-to-lack-of-votes-confirmation.596654/ , there's room for improvement everywhere.
 
When you complete building the primary starport, the colonisation ship heads off to where you made the claim, so more likely returned from successful colonisation attempts.

It's 02:35 AM, and bug reporting on the Frontier website is down. You can't report bugs because the server is probably overloaded. In my case, 3 days of transporting materials to build one station and sensor stations went to hell. I lost my role as an architect in the system. Where do I generate a report for support now, if support is down? Fix it. I hope it will be better in the morning, and I'll fly again.

Perhaps waiting for the update in a few hours will help. They want besides other things fix missing architect status.
 
It would have been better to get at least the 8 Mega ships from CG (as originally intended, to see what the story line would have provided) to aid Colonisation after fixing bugs and balancing and not release it as a (totally failed) BETA
I was coming here to make a similar point... The CGs were extended an additional week because neither one was getting completed, and here we are a week into Trailblazers and they're still not done. It makes no sense to have competing resources in a CG and new feature at the same time. Either delay Trailblazers until the CGs are done, or cut the CGs short and say "oh well." Bad optics, for sure. I worked as hard as I could to get into the top 25% of both CGs and was looking forward to having them done before Trailblazers. I really hope they don't extend the CG's another week for nothing.
 
A few hours you say? Ok. I'll wait. My adult children just woke up and found notes on my Frontier account that I first played Elite on 09/30/2015... I've been playing this game for 10 years, so I can probably last a few more hours. What do you think?
I think I'll believe Frontier when they write the update will start in about four hours (and then for about four hours) and am hoping for myself that it's really gonna be fixed :)
I am sure you are able to wait that time too 👍
