Elite Dangerous | System Colonisation Claims Unpaused

[Andy Gee]

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!

But...but...such a system will be far away from my city apartment in Sol. I told my estate agent I wouldn't take anything far out in the countryside. The people there are just too provincial for me.

Chicago here.

Colonization contact not operational. Checked a couple systems.

Also, looks like the contact is gone in one of the systems I visited.

Still not showing in St. Louis.

I know British Drinking Culture. If they've gone to the pubs, expect the next action to be Monday afternoon GMT. the Cards have a better chance of finishing above .500 than we have of seeing colonization open again.

It's not 16ly. It has never been 16ly. It was never announced as 16ly. Why do people on this forum keep saying 16ly? Stop saying 16ly, everyone.

16ly.

So I checked out a couple of places: Gidzenko Station in Kokary has an active Colonisation contact, but Bresnik Port in the neighbouring system of 82 Eridani is not active. Although I haven't tried making a claim yet. I think that for whatever reason, it's going to take a bit of time before every system eligible as a jumping off point for colonisation is going to have the contact in working order.

"System Claim Unsuccessful"

This is still a problem.

I'll try again at around Easter.

They have to make sure their friends and content partners get the systems they want first. So the good stuff is still on lockdown.

This is purely speculation but seems obvious?

The disable contact script worked. The enable contact script returned "Computer says no".

Thx

Before the colonization freeze I successfully colonized a system with two fleet carriers already in it. They did not interfere with the claim or the building of the initial station.

Boom

 

[Schits]

FDEV be looking at us like this rn.

 

[eFalcon]

Looks like some star systems don't have the contact enabled.
i am wondering when will FD fix it

 

[mobio]

So, this is the new "amazing" gameplay: waiting in a station for the System Colonization Contact to appear, in order to avoid being sniped by someone. I'm waiting since 4 hrs now.

 

[Anarch157a]

I'm beginning to think they pressed the 'unpause' button and went home for the weekend.

They're British. Brits don´t "go home for the weekend", they stop at the Pub first. Anything other and it's treason against King and Country.

 

[Pixel8ed]

Yeah, need to find another game.

 

[Savage Chaos]

UPDATE dbo.Contacts SET IsEnabled = 1 WHERE ContactType = 'Colonisation';
