Yup pure ignorance in your viewpoint.... It is a shame to see the developers supporting fools like this instead of just casual players that want to enjoy the game.

I can understand the perspective but a FC should not be a requirement to own a system.
I'm all for the work and honestly don't care that I needed to do close to 200 round trips to build the first required station to get the system claim. All I wanted was the ability to buy 1 extension.
I shouldn't have to sit here justifying how I as a casual player wants to play the game when it hurts NO ONE with an extension. I'm not saying you are doing that at all but clearly from a few people that replied to me it seems others are just too scared of casual players and demand they play the same way they do.
Can you post your T9 build? There's something wrong because my T8 can haul 350 tons (it's possible to do 400) and my T9 can move 700 tons at a time - and it has an SLF as well.
It and the AspX are better-outfitted prebuilds than they have offered in the past, but it still won't compete with a fully-engineered T9, let alone a decked-out Cutter. I have good cargo ships. It's lack of clear direction that is making colonization demoralizing, not an inability to move freight. I would happily work construction-hauling into a leg of a trade loop and tackle this task piecemeal, and after enduring the primary station grind, building out the various outposts and installations was actually fun. It's been a long time since I've had any reason to hunt down some muon imagers. But the more we learn about colonization, the less certain I am that I'm not wasting my time developing this colony any further. Because the information available to me when I began the enterprise was vague, incomplete, and potentially misleading. There doesn't seem much point continuing until there is some clarification. I wouldn't advise an unestablished player to spend actual money on a T9 to engage into grind-centric gameplay with no better guidance than trial and error.
On another note guys, while claiming, I was not able to select a T1 as the first installation. The choices were always T2 or T3 space ports. Did you experience something similiar?
By the way, both of my systems have asteroid belts.
- "Dear commander, you can of course claim a system; the usual fee is 25M. But, there is a small problem. We want you to build a Tier 2 port minimum. Our governor would like to have a bigger place than a measly outpost, so he can park his big luxurious ship."

I can't engineer.... I just filled out the cargo areas to max. I appreciate trying to help but at this point I'm so far in losing a few round trips isn't worth it. Thank you though.
You can purchase additional cargo bays for some of your empty optional slots. The station where you are picking up your supplies might have them.
It's not about engineering. I assume you have class 8 Shields when class 5 bi- weaves will do.
I do 744 in mine but that's because I have a 5D shield, 4G guardian FSD boost and a 1e? Super cruise assist module.
I hope you find a way forward.
The pre-built T9 @Ralph Vargr mentioned is a good option though. It's better than the T9 I built though it will cost you ARX.
There's probably also a megaship in your vicinity. It has everything. Tell me your system and I'll figure out which is the closest. It may make a huge difference
I fly my T9 barebones - no shields and with Grade 3 Heavy Duty Std Hull. A Thrusters Dirty 4
Until now NO Pirate could get to me
only that stupid light-panels at construction-site proved stronger then my Hull - fortunatly after unloading
There is no engineering that increases cargo space. If you put a cargo rack in every optional module slot of the Type-9, you'll get 790 tons of cargo space.
My guess of what's happening: Either you aren't actually using the Type-9 (are you sure you are not using the Type-8?), or you are not buying the maximum-sized cargo racks for each module slot. This is why we need to see your build.
Mootilda carries720 tons, with a 6A/G3 shield. Unlike Xenia, pirates annoy me...
The post that you referenced was back in Feb 26th. Things have changed a lot since then. Including several buffs to the markets and now the trailblazer mega ships.

700 tons, no shield, 2 x Class 4 HRPs. Plus minelayers, turrets and an SLF. Don't like pirates either, specially in my last runs
I have to create my "shopping" list by docking at the Colonisation ship or construction site, because the commodity quantities shown there are different from those shown in the System Architect view when you select the installation you want to build (at least in my case).
What is even more confusing is that the numbers can be slightly different each time you build the same installation. As an example, I am building an industrial outpost as my primary starport. I checked the numbers for the first two I built (in other systems), and they are slightly different. The current one needs over 100 more CMM Composites than the last one for instance.
you don´t have to dock at the CS, just click the construction site in Sysmap and the Architect button in the upper right panel - you get the actual requirement list there as well..... so you can do that from your Mat-souce position without flying to the ship first
Where is your system? If it's not too far away from me I can give you a hand hauling if you like
I feel that there should be a system to lock down landing pads for the colony ship because there are times I don't want someone to finish it for me. Also the brewer screen has made it so I have lost a system I really wanted.
