Indeed. If people are not happy with this honorable unpaid QA role, they can always opt for quitting. It is not like somebody forces them to play the game they paid for.
Elite Dangerous | System Colonisation Claims Unpaused
- Thread starter Paul_Crowther
- Start date
well, yes I get your sarcasm - BUT did you read the fineprint in the contract?
edit: and what I don´t get as well - I am playing now since ~ 6 hours without any trouble (the adders disappeared), FC Spooltime constantly at 15:50 Minutes.... so what? One half-day of inconvenience doesn´t nearly weigh up the more then 35K hours joy I had ingame.
Sometimes happens you know?

I've got a science outpost (primary) which is, so far, doing quite well and an industrial outpost under construction. A medium agri settlement is nearly done and it's supposed to have a large pad.
Balking at building a Coriolis because it's a lot of work and I'm not sure I need it (except for reputation & flash).
You mean that they can always change whatever they want? Sure. Thus my statement. However, there are still some minimal customer rights in the EU and UK, respectively. Not that somebody will drag them to court, that is.
Hi.
How long does it take for a system that has not completed the colonization process (time expired) to become colonizable again? Is it immediately or does it take some time before it can be claimed again? And if a cmdr gives up that system colonization and cancel it after deploying colonization beacon, how long does it take to become available to other cmdrs?

You may be right... I guess we can look back in a couple of years and see how things turned out.
I sincerely hope that was a typo (for 3.5 k hours perhaps?). If not, then while I'm glad you're getting great value for money from your initial purchase, I'd worry about your wellbeing.
35K is just 4 years of constant playing. Since ED is 10 years now, why not? At least a very dedicated player, well suited for even the biggest colonization hauling task ahead.
Woohoo!
Well, 35k hours is perhaps a bit too much. 11 years x 365 days = 4015 days x 5h a day (uiuiui, that's really a lot, I'd say) 20,075. And who plays through 11 years ... Even though Xenia is certainly a very dedicated player, 10,000 to 20,000 hours is probably more like it. But that doesn't change the essence of the statement, in my opinion.
What the Problem? Starting Dezember 2014

sorry, yes was a typo hit the 3 instead of 2....
and I play with four chars, often parallel, so that makes theoretically in that last 9.5 years a daily average of ~2 hours.....
I don't think that word means what you think it means...
If you want any chance at a good system in the bubble then you will have to participate or there wont be any good systems left.
actually I do understand the whole colonization thingy as a personal CG without any time-limit and free definition of a goal. to me it doesn´t matter if developement of a specific System takes 2 Days or 2 years. Actually I am planning to daisy-chain some 850 Ly out and build a self-sufficiant bubble out there (a small cluster of maybe 30-50 Systems)
Guessed project-time ~ 2 years. Thats why it doesn´t bother me at all if the game stutters for some 12 or 14 hours.
Sure - its inconvenient, but thats rain during a stroll in the park as well......
thats quite possible, but there are roughly 400 billion systems outside of the bubble - and I do not think FDev will be able to keep that bubble-limit beyond the beta-phase - otherwise they eally would get some salt - and rightfully so!
In my case, I can do a round trip from my FC to the Colonization Ship in 5 minutes (that includes the loading/unloading).
24 trips to build the smallest outpost (792t Cutter) = 2 hrs of non-stop hauling.
Yes you can colonize a new system, solo, in just 2 hours (that's if you already have a carrier full of all the required commodities).
It takes a couple more hours beforehand to load that carrier as well.
That's not the point and you know it. We all have favourite systems in the bubble and we all would like it to have our own system as close to them as possible. What lies beyond the bubble isnt important, there is enough space as you said.
A fair shot at it for everyone would have been the least to expect if you test a beta on the live servers.

Colonia is not part of the Colonization initiative - so far. FDev has stated as much. Colonization could be opened there at a later time, though.
Can't compute, insufficient data.
