They are remaining remarkably quiet on the whole pause issue which makes me suspicious
. One thing though I would think they would want to get it sorted before the next livestream. Purely because i don't think they would want a portion of the audience repeatedly asking about it whilst there trying to show off the new pigmy marmosets in the Planet Zoo section 
(Similar question to @Nowski)
O(n) way (likely no but I gave up early 
), as well as "has it already been calculated for say 15 ly range?" and then remembered that only a tiny fraction of all stars (fewer than 1 in 1000) have been visited yet.O(nlogn) way to do it, and know if it has already been tried for the existing couple of hundred million stars in the databases?O(n) as O! ]Well, they did put engineers in Colonia so they can't think too badly of the region. I thought it would have made sense logically to colonise from there, however, FD may have thought it would strain the servers even more at this point in time, being a beta. The systems are very close together in Colonia so there would be heaps of opportunities if they did open it up.
Not more precisely personally, but the estimates of undiscovered stars are calculated for the saturation estimates at https://edastro.com/mapcharts/descriptions.html so probably someone can give you a better guess.
When I did smaller connectivity things for the Thargoid War or Powerplay mapping, I just settled for the easy-to-write way of doing it which has worst-case On^2 - in part because I generally wanted to know about all connections of a given range anyway, rather than just determining which systems formed a connected set of some sortI briefly wondered if the "reachable fraction as a function of jump range" could be directly calculated in anO(n)way (likely no but I gave up early
My theory on the colonization pause is that there's no serious flaw that justifies it; Fdev simply wants us to develop the systems and not rush to monopolize them with a single small station... and that seems like a smart move to me. Curbing greed has been a priority for them.They are remaining remarkably quiet on the whole pause issue which makes me suspicious
Why do you think people are (in general, rather than in a few specific cases) rushing like that? There's evidence both in-game and from Frontier's statements that the average player who is a System Architect is the Architect for a single system only, with very few players having more than two.

I guess you're likely to have already identified anO(nlogn)way to do it, and know if it has already been tried for the existing couple of hundred million stars in the databases?
Even tho we wanted to take part in it we again cant. We are again left alone outside a new game feature. But well nothing new there
Wow, I was initially surprised that the fraction is so low, but I guess it simply reflects that a lot of "casual" exploration (or simply getting from A to B) uses pretty big hops, meaning that most of the stars along the way are not in the database...
That's my guess as well: if you go where no cmdr has gone before, and pass/route through an otherwise unvisited sector with a semi-long jump range, the chain can only be followed with equal or greater range, even if there were plenty of undiscovered stars filling the gaps.
Mi'd been in Colonia for years, then went back to the bubble for the colonisation CG(s). Now back in Colonia, but the only station I can find with a Colonisation contact is Jaques, and it's disabled there.
