Elite Dangerous | System Colonisation Claims Unpaused
- Thread starter Paul_Crowther
- Start date
So when will that process complete?
I have a feeling FDev enabled some systems to see if their fix worked, and if so they'll enable it everywhere. Otherwise they'll just have to shut off a few systems instead of the whole shebang.
What say you @Paul_Crowther ?

Thanks, has the completion of the primary harbor been changed by other people?
Its seems to take a really long time for it to reach everyone. Just wondering but why not just restart the servers with the Contact enabled that way everyone could have gotten it at the same time instead of people freaking out on missing out on a system they cant claim but someone in a system that works can claim that system.
Those curious about the cheaters. From what some of us have been able to tell, it appears their systems have been wiped but the claim remains.
Well if I had known it involved Peter Seferanawitch (sic) I would have clicked straight away.I have linked to the reference to provide culture
Was anything done to address system sniping?
Not much point to hunting for premium systems until then.

what do you mean?
it seems these hamsters is running inside a bunch of pentiums-166
I managed to claim one system 30 minutes ago, abandoned claim 10 minutes later, and after some scouting nearby - colonisation contact on another station are still locked.

So Colonisation is turned on for me, but only in select systems such as Minerva for example.
Flying away from that system, it is already off again.
It does seem like these things will be turned on randomly because I don't believe the patch bounces from system to system, but follows a list which who knows how is ordered.

It's first come first serve. Just gotta be there or miss out.
Changes are needed for making claims at new outposts
I just spent 12 hours straight grinding to daisy chain out to a star system I wanted only to have it stolen by someone else who was camping out waiting for my last load at the colonization ship. That felt really bad. It’s like ganking has been added to my solo/pve world, but worse. Getting...
I have to say, this is a frustrating game experience. First off, I spent half an hour jumping through many different systems just to find one that was in range of my target system and had an unsuspended colonization service. After all that effort, I finally get to the point where I can find one and initiate the claim... and then I get stuck waiting for the "Processing Request" for 30 seconds, only to see the dreaded message: "System Claim Unsuccessful". Many relogs, attempts to claim in "differently". Doesn't work.

Another suggestion for far claims
So idea for far colonization claims that tries to work in the beta system/BGS. If you look at the forums you'll find strong opinions about range. Some people want more, some say it will be ruinous. My hope is neither side has ultimate say. I'm for more range yet can see the concerns of the other...
I suggested staking.
Would have been nice if you guys had told us like a day in advance or at least half a day in advance. I spent days looking for a good system and just found out it was claimed because I wasn't around to do it myself
What if (probably) whoever took this system also spent days searching until he/she found this same particular one as well?
System sniping....you build initial structure for a colony to get another system in range and someone can lie in wait for your station to complete and having an advantage to getting it first since you have to leave the colonization ship first to get to your new station to claim. It has been suggested, here and on Youtube, that a new station in a new system should grant a small exclusivity period for the builder to use it first....anywhere from 5 min to an hour.
I wanted to see if Fdev had any plans of addressing that.
