Elite Dangerous | System Colonisation Beta Details & Feedback

I Know that it's probably been mentioned but I think there needs to be a dismantle station or a undo when placing the station. I feel like there could be that option not sure what to do with the resources still if I can pick a location to place the station it shouldn't move, but mind you there could be reasons why maybe an obstruction at the location.

At the very least we should have the option to cancel constructions currently in-progress. Having a way to see the system stats (standard of living, wealth, etc) would also be nice
 
I've built some Installations, but the construction platforms are still after wards. Shouldn't they dissappear now?
After logging on today I can confirm the small stations all have orbit lines but not the utilities / production facilities (Like the space farm and space mine etc.) however all structures are now without the construction platforms.
 
So today i got just over 111k for a system population of 112k that equates to more or less 1 credit per person living in my system, so if i can get my population to 1b i will get 1b per week meaning 52b per year.

They should add some facility upgrade, enlarge options that cost lots of credits.

Good luck with that, "colonisation" cannot be done on terraformables, or earthlikes, so its impossible to make popballs, earthlikes are worthless, good luck spending the rest of your mortal life hauling.

These planets will be valuable if we can access them in a future DLC.
 
sure, a cooling off period suffices but if you're going to put in the effort to redo an entire system, you should be allowed to. you'd literally have to put in all the effort in again, plus losing the commodities/benefits of the previous ports
It's a fully working BGS location. I think allowing commanders to delete that would ruin the game for players using that location. So redoing the entire system within a short time frame after messing it up? Ok. Otherwise, absolutely not.

I think deletions would need to occur only on Thursday's reset, with a clear message to any players who visit that location (so they know not to take missions that will obviously instantly fail the moment it's deleted).

FD have to consider the impact to the wider game. And I think there's a high chance they won't implement this sort of feature because it's going to have a high development cost. I think it's worth it, but I think it is unlikely we'll get it and so the best thing is for the game to make it very clear how things work for us, so we don't have to make these mistakes.

What I do agree to though is having the ability to cancel builds before, and not long after, they've been created (before they have any impact on the BGS, so within 12-24 hours or so). This is a no-brainer. And I hope this gets added soon.

I’m sure this’ll be introduced in some capacity or a timeout otherwise they’ll be abandoned construction sites EVERYWHERE!
This isn't new
5000 hours in-game and never seen them.
 
i mean i only have a tier 3 starter station 1 relay and a scientific settlement.
I'm a one man show so i can only tolerate so much hauling.
I wasn’t trying to be snarky, just amazed at the difference between populations and credit rewards.:)

I get the hauling fatigue. I’ve done this solo and just started on a big Planetary Port - that was a shock as it needs almost as much Steel as all of the materials required for the Coriolis I completed (which I put in a really bad slot too it seems, I’d assumed at that point that the system economy influence had more effect than it appears.)
 
Anyone else having problems adding bookmarks to just-deployed space stations? Completed a Coriolis and a medium outpost last week. I get a black adder trying to add a bookmark to either. Adding to the original medium outpost deployed last week works fine.
I had that same problem with my initial outpost. After it went fully operational I tried to bookmark it and would get a black adder. Other things bookmarked fine. Then next day it worked. Either it was a temporary bug or some hidden delay in finishing off getting operational. I'd maybe give it a day or two then try again.

My guess - once a construction is selected and the contruction site placed/confirmed by architect, it already gets a slot in the BGS. At least in the moment Thursday´s BGS Tick is running through.
I speculate that a revoke/removal/cancellation of such would seriously cause trouble to the BGS Sim.
This obviously does not apply to the contruction ship as it is not part of the BGS - just a Mega-Dumpster for Mats :), hence after 4 weeks a cancellation of Claim is possible automaticly
 
They only flash up for about 2 seconds, but they do go into the Chat window.

In fact, I'm currently getting messages indicating imminent downtime, but as there is nothing on the forums or socials, I'm assuming these are messages delayed from earlier.

:sneaky: :sneaky:
 
also, while I am here @Paul_Crowther

Can anyone confirm (or not) their nav beacon is gone after maintenance? I have a quite developed system, and the nav beacon has been there since first maintenance after patch, but is now gone
