Staking claims would be dope. But i feel like that would have its draw backs like if 3 people with multi billions stake multiple claims.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...forums.frontier.co.uk
I suggested staking.

I've also considered various issues with the current system and thought of ways to address which wouldn't be too "overpowered" and would still solve many problems like sniping, abandoned systems and lack of range.
Elite Dangerous | System Colonisation Claim Pause
Greetings Commanders, Thank you so much for your feedback and participation in the live Beta for System Colonisation. The response and engagement we have had has been phenomenal and you have progressed in colonising the galaxy at an incredible rate. So far you have colonised over 8000 systems...
Has anyone had any luck mines still showing on main menu and contact still greyed out ??
I would hope if it were implemented it would be strictly balanced, one a week or even month.
To all those worried about sniping. There's 400 billion star systems in the ED galaxy. As time goes on, it'll get to a point where the claim chains branch out so much that no one will have the time nor resources to "nab that lovely system you just spotted".
There's no FOMO here. Just bide your time!

No it's still closed. At least for me and many others.By the time I get home, tonight, everything will have been claimed up to Andromeda
I was. Missed out anyway
this problems could be easily avoided if we had 50-100ly range for colonisation - no daisy building. or limit it to only 1 system for 1 architect allowed, period.

Happens. Is why I don't daisy chain. Just find systems that you like and work to it but never expect to get it.I was. Missed out anyway
50000% would make this so much easier
I believe FDev only turned on some systems to see if their fix worked. The rest of us will have to wait until FDev decides if the fixes worked or not.
I got the message 1 minute after it was posted. I've been logging in and out for hours and still don't have access.
Getting just a wee bit tiresome.
seriously, it needs to be more than 16 lyrs even 25 or 45 would be way better.
Yeah, I am done with colonization.
I spent days looking for a system, claimed it and then the colony ship never showed up even though I was listed as the architect, spent hours trying to get it to show up, hours with support only to have them tell me they have nothing to do with colonization and that I was just -outa-luck, and then had the claim disappear 3 days later when they pushed out the March 6th update.
I just spent 2.5 hours relogging every 3 minutes trying to get a claim on the system with a greyed out system contact.
I am not spending another second with this crap.

It becomes a problem if you're trying to reach a system that only has a limited number of other systems in range (like high or low below the galactic plane). If there's only one route to where you're chaining to, there's nothing stopping a sniper dropping an Orbis in your path and your chain essentially grinds to a halt.
There needs to be a grace period, even it its just one hour, for the architect to have exclusive use over the facilities of a station they themselves built.

To some extent, sure...
However, given how little of those 400 Billion we've even visited, let alone colonized.....premium systems closer to the current centers of human civilizations are a bit of a FOMO proposition.
We'll never know, will we? It's irrelevant now anyway. But had I known beforehand that colonization would open at a particular time, and still lost the system, at least it would have been a fair fight. Congratz to whomever got the system, though.
