What about it though?

Colonia works because it's more than one system? What's the question?

It isn't, imo. The best one I saw so far is the one made a few times; only the system architect can use the colony contact for the first 24 hours after a system is initially completed, with the option for the architect to open it up for others to use if they desire, in that time frame.

The reason the "build where you want" option isn't suitable is because the systems need to be within the BGS framework in order to function. That is based on the standard 20 LY range (I'd personally allow us to claim within 20LY but it's not my game so...)

100% this!
I wish people would actually try to understand the long term consequences when throwing out the lets build anywhere 'idea'.
... but.. but.. what about the 400 billion systems and all that ? (yawn). Its not as simple as that. But you'll never convince them.

As for sniping, the best solution I've seen posted across forums and discords is to give the architect exclusive use of system facilities for a few hours after the station/outpost is complete.

Agreed. For some commanders, Colonia is their bubble. Expansion should have been allowed from Colonia as well.

It will be.
But when you are running an experiment, because that is what this is, then why have it take place in two different places, especially if something can go wrong, as it already has?

I'm sure Colonia will be expanded upon.

Also, although there are so many stars, the developers have surely plans for empty regions and we can't just have player bases all over the place, for developers to then be forced to add unique things that much further away.

This way, expansion will go slowly and there are plenty of time for developers to make use of distant, but still nearby, systems.

For example, it's good that we have Guardian site nearby and we don't need to travel to the other side of the galaxy for that, and I highly doubt the developers would place guardian sites or such things in player claimed systems.

Darell Adams is nowhere to be reached - I hope he's not calling in sick today.

For some reason, I am sure that when Europe goes to bed, and in the morning they will log into the game and see that everything they wanted to occupy will already be occupied by people from other regions of the world. I also think it was necessary to restart the servers. Where is justice?

Weird thing my faction isn't showing in system just have the faction that I managed to get the claim from. Will this correct once the primary port has been completed ? 😅
