Passively waiting with a parked FC is objectively not equivalent to active system-building. Valuable systems won't be reached by simply hanging around, but through player investment, which I think should be be valued and rewarded.

Do you leave your partner standing in a parking space while you fetch the car?
Hey, I can we get a clarification please on what is locked down exactly? When I go to my system (working with a team of 4 others, and we did not do any exploitation we moved all the materials and did all the builds the hard way)
Anyway
1) We started and Outpost and Finished it.
2) We build a Satillite and Built it
3) We are building a Mining Facility (Orbital) For the build point,
4) We planned to build a Tier 2 full Starport with the point but I seem to have lost my Archetect flag in my most valuable system. Like i said its already got the first outpost can I get my flag back or is it gone? We going to be able to continue building in our claimed systems like the OP says or is everything just turned off now?
<EDIT>
I just want to point out that last night I was on at 3 am and things were fine and I could build and I did read the other posts before posting this but I was conserned that the Dev said we can continue to build in system but when each of my friends claimed 1 system and none of us can continue our in system builds so I was trying to get clarification that thisi s in fact as intended or a bug?

As far as I understood (and hopefully for myself) the update in a few hours is intended to solve especially this bug with missing architect status in "owned" systems.
There was also a lore context given to it with Thargoid War refugees (from the Titan incursion) "looking for a new place to start in". Now I'm not sure how the maths works exactly with some twelve(12) billion people*, especially when a number of those may just be missing/abducted still(how many were moved off the Titans before we got to them, if so) or outright dead, but there's a situation creating a precedent**.
It's also a little 'funny' how in terms of the population, Inara and Lhou Mans around Oya plus the systems assaulted by Cocijo around Sol account for the majority of populations affected, by numbers alone. Most other fringe systems were relatively small.
*Approximate figure - and it could be more that I haven't noticed. I know Sol used to have 22 or 26 billion inhabitants and it looks like with the war's conclusion some other affected systems may have "lost" BGS population too. I don't recall Lhou Mans 'only' having around 4 billion inhabitants anyway... but if I am wrong there, perhaps someone with more accurate BGS records could jump in.
**It actually feels more like the superpowers are just handing the refugee problem off for the fringes to deal with so they can focus their attention on the very important matter of bashing each other's heads in. And pretending the Thargoids aren't gonna be a problem any longer because we sent a few Titans to oblivion and handed them a more negligible loss than the mycoid caused.
A new life awaits you in the off-world colonies, a chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure!
Must have turned something back on, that little carrier bug showing two lines of same item is back
I'm sure the Superpowers-that-be managed to pack in many of those who opposed them on those refugee ships
I have no idea how you can possibly move 500 million people, let alone 12 billion, from one solar system to another. Even if you packed them close together standing up, only so many of those medical pods will fit in our largest ships. Speaking for myself, I'm going to keep a close eye on those new colonies near Thargoid territory. And who knows? I may even stumble upon Raaxla by accident while doing it
I've got a feeling that you can complete all the goods deliveries, but if there is no Colonisation contact/you're not listed as the system architect, you won't get the confirmation, construction points, and ability to start off another outpost/settlement in the same system - yet. When it is unfrozen and the contact becomes available, you should be able to start another site in the same system (or get a beacon for another system).
So during the freeze you're like a guest contributor to your "own" system.
I've had human signals / surface crash sites 17,000 ly out (the opposite direction to Colonia, down the spiral arm) even after the dustant-signals/POI "fix".
I guess that's what happens when you go from ten years ago with very limited jump-range ships to people buckyballing across the entire diameter of the galaxy in a couple of hours or less. You can reach Beagle Point and be back home by teatime, so of course human detritus is everywhere (like the Thargoid sensors in every ammonia world system).
That misses the point there won't be any systems to expand to and keep a cohesive "mini bubble", your systems will all be hundreds of LY from each other.
Thanks, that's my second system so only has a part-built (but nearly completed) Outpost orbital station. Not sure if I should finish it or wait for the tick.
On the other hand, there's going to be all these little chains spreading out from the bubble like fingers to various places, making players able to access new pockets of relatively unexplored space and be able to pop to a nearby system to turn in the data before they auger their ship into a 3g world after they forgot to check the mass.
Thank you very much for explaining. Appriciate it!
Unfortunately, after being able to complete the construction of my outpost, I then seem to have lost the architect interface again so can't add anything further to the system. I expect this will just be a part of the visual bug (at least I hope so), so I wish FDEV well in sorting out the problems.
Edit: and just saw the posts above suggesting the update coming will hopefully fix this. Still, my wishes towards FDEV being able to solve the problems remains unchanged....good luck and god speed.
Update: I completed the second system's Outpost anyway, and it let me rename it. I still had System Architect status, but can't start a second base in the system I imagine after I log off, the Architect status will disappear for now.
Nice touch that they list the colonisation agent as a suspended service on the system map station info:
They've been pretty good at getting on to this quickly, I feel. I wish them luck, too.
Perfect timing to extend it to 3 weeks, as people now have time during the colonization break.
