Generally this situation sort of reminds me of the console debacle, where days/weeks would pass and all you where told was when there is news we will tell you. That went on for month after month then as people will know it was cancelled altogether, this was the reason why I left the game. It wasn't the fact that Frontier hadn't told us it was because it appeared to be disingenuous to myself to keep people on hold with little/no info bar the occasional ambiguous sentence with not much substance. To be fair though they do appear to have done a decent job with Trailblazers and I was enjoying looking for a system, have actually found two. Hopefully will be back up soon so I can claim at least one until then will hold fire until more news comes forth o7 all

Always good to hear from ex-platers - they have such hot takes
Is this where we post the meme with everyone having fun and one guy is screaming to them to stop having fun?
Why do you ask? Are you new here?
hey guys, i dont know where to post this but if you have the same problem as me, that settlements dont show up for building etc please contribute to this so FDev can see and investigate this issue. 
and if there is already an issue tracker for this problem, sorry, I missed it

Your entire first and very long paragraph is about what problems it will cause if it stays at 15ly.
One word, exploitation, some folks just have to ruin it.
Soon as they have sorted out how to stop it and hopefully ban those involved the game will restart.

I didn't answer because I thought it was blindly obvious and was already answered. the fortunate few who were able to log in at the correct time before it was paused but because they registered a claim they can still crack on with it.
and no I didn't wait "to see if it was worth doing"
as it stands at the moment some people have access to features that other people do not, hence they are the fortunate ones.
it isn't rocket science!
just keep in mind before you call me impatient (and whilst you are potentially working on your claim)... parts of powerplay 2 were turned off months ago and are still not back on yet.

Some of us, rather than claim our own systems initially, were hauling for friends so that they could build up their systems. Getting the feel of hauling stuff to build stuff. I even got to deliver the last mats to complete a ground asset.
I have been using this down time to look around at a few systems so that I have a short list of places I would like to claim and make my homestead.

I too have done that however depending on when the claims come back they may well be all gone so am reticent to get too excited about unclaimed systems until I can actually claim them.
I have found 3 nice systems tho one of which would be a gamble. it has 3 stars one of which is iirc 250,000 ls away with a bunch of planets. there is a 1 in 3 chance I could end up having a coriolis around it so I don't fancy that one.

But then, how many of the trusted ED partners who are given access to beta testing servers are actual hackers who have the knowledge and willingness to hack and exploit the game?
iirc back in beta (10 years ago) some people managed to hack and exploit the game and they were (quite rightly) thanked for it as it allowed FD to close the exploits in beta.
however obviously that is very different to the live game.
I am sure they do it with the best of intentions but historically FD have been far too forgiving of exploiters and cheaters in the live game. a certain purple haired wizard and his mates spring to mind.

You can see ahead of time where the statuíon's primary/first port will end up in the system map architect view - it will be marked with a flag rather than the "+" icon.
Though if it's only one of the three stars with planets then it's almost a guarantee the 250k one will end up having the primary station.
ooooo thanks for that thank you.
I much of the galaxy in game is discovered? Did we reach 1% yet?
That unnecessary amount of precision reminds me of the joke:
A museum tour guide is presenting a dinosaur skeleton to visitors and says that it's "65 million years and 3 weeks old."
The visitors are puzzled about how he can possibly know that.
Guide says: "Well, when I got hired the curator told me that it's 65 million years old, and that was three weeks ago."
What numbers are you using?
400bn systems divided by 8000 per week is 50 million weeks. Divide that by 52 and you end up with less than a million. Permit locked systems prolly will mean you finish a month earlier or something.
Wow. That really makes a difference, those 95.000 years we saved
