That says it all and the thread can be closed. It's enough if there is an announcement at some point that there will be an update.
From mpov I think they will want it done before frontier unlocked and definitely before the new ship arrives as otherwise they might end up fire fighting on two fronts so to speak. The only reason I was pushing for well shoving for an update was after a week there had been no information forth coming and no response to any queries about the pause. Again from mpov if we had an update once a week think that's appropriate and that's an easy thing to convey e.g from now on we will provide an update before the weekly tick or something along those lines. That way peeps would know where they stood, it's the not knowing anything that can get people wound up and some us that play Elite are a unique bunch so to speak lol 
Do we even know what the problem actually is?
We have some idea but "knowing" what it is and how serious it is has to wait for the results of the FD investigation & resulting fix.
No. There is speculation, but nothing official.
From 1100 CDT to 2322 CDT yesterday, I ran through all of King Crimson, Triumivirate, many others, and was reduced to "We Built This City" at the end of 12 hours and 22 minutes of trucking.
I needed an update from Paul Crowther every time I made a run...

I did not need that particular song stuck in my head... thanx mate.
You have my condolences for your loss of musical taste.
Mate my little one doesn't believe we had to queue at the bottom of our road to use a red phone box

Block time to one of my usual sourcing ports is 17 minutes. Call it three runs an hour. Ignoring trips to planetary ports, and the need to switch to medium ships for certain materials, the 28 runs to build an outpost will take 9.33 hours on the Hobbs meter.

Note: distance was 42 LY, optimized port supply and location, boost and SCO were in near-continuous use.

I do.
I also remember ordering console games by phone from an importer based hundreds of kms away from where I lived (the bane of village life - so couldn't just waltz into their shop down the road), only to be delivered 6-12 weeks later, if I was lucky and they weren't out of stock. Every day I would come home from school in the hope that the game had arrived, or desperately hoping the mailman was just running late, only to be disappointed. Now and then I'd try to call, be stuck in their queue for 20 minutes, and when I'd finally get through to be told no news, try again next week.
Frontier are doing a pretty good job at emulating those days, got to admit.
To avoid long distance charges on the phone, we used to send cassettes to each other by mail.
The analogue equivalent of recorded messages on Whatsapp/Signal instead of texts?
Imo that would have been fairer but from Frontiers point of View it would have been worse as all momentum for Colonization would have been lost and there wouldn't have been those arx purchases. Plus there would have been a lot of bad publicity as from what I've seen all the main YouTubers jumped in straight away so their loyal subjects could see the magnificence of their glorious new estates lol ( a little bit of sarcasm and humour there ). If paused Frontier would not have got all the advertising of Colonization and also none of the how to guides would have been there. In addition they wouldn't have been able to continue working on the bugs as limited data would be coming In. Tbf though we don't know what their working on or the plans for colonization. If it where to be paused for all they would also have the whole community asking questions this would put more pressure on Frontier to fix an reinstate. This way Frontier can give the appearance their working on something and not really have to give any details as it's automatically presumed it would be Colonization. So to sum up all that Waffle it's better for it to be this way for Frontier because it only affects a portion of the player base rather than all ( who want to take part ) and data can be collated to suit Frontiers own timescale.OTOH powerplay 2 had a similar issue months ago and still not turned on. maybe they should have just paused all colonisation and then at least we are all in the same boat
A Coriolis station is roughly 54,000 tons of hauling. 75 runs. 25 hours.
Thinking about it this pause does put the non participants in worse spot. As the longer colonization is shut down the more Cmdr's will complete their systems meaning again there will be more competition for systems whenever it may be available for all. Gonna have to Mark my territory lol
