Elite Dangerous | Trailblazers Update 2 - Wednesday March 19

[Tess R Act]

That's why I was curious with my first question. I'm finishing up a surface outpost on the major planet that started it before I had any idea of how economy works. My hope is that the surface outpost would work like a coriolis but just on surface planet and the five other settlements and hubs would supply it

do as we all do - try and report here - wish You luck and all the best

You too! You would think FDev would want to explain all of this rather than letting 10,000 people loose with no idea what they're doing and turning their world map into a Jackson Pollock painting

yeah given the amount of time it would take someone to populate a decent sized system, you really don't want to be leaving these things to random chance. I mean, every unpopulated system getting some kind of starport is great, in and of itself. having these systems be actually useful in the wider galaxy, producing stuff that is needed for colonisation, is a different matter. one of the Trailblazers devs really needs a 30 minute spot on Frontier Unlocked to explain how all this works....

as long as it is no Kadinski.... or even worse an Edvard Munch

you suggest in the same way they explained how to decode Thargoid Probes and the Tharg Sites later? Or how they explained how to find Raxxla? Yep, that will happen definetly

My fear is that since it's beta, they don't exactly know how it works yet. Or how they'll eventually have it work

Raxxla is the friends we make along the way, we all know that

Managed to get in the game, but now I can't seem to find the megaship in 34 omicron cephei. No galnet article on it being moved as well.

Same. Servers are a little bipolar right now

 

[Niamhy]

that's a horse of a different colour. there is a difference between puzzles they put in for us to work out, and explaining how a BGS/Colonisation system works.

good that You name that - how the BGS works was discovered by player IRRC, not explained by FDev

Okay, nevermind, found it, but had to go in FSS to manually scan for it and then it showed in the nav panel. This game really doesn't enjoy having so many carriers in the same spot.

I may not know much about art but I know what I like?

Seems like the under construction systems are now marked as red crosses on the galmap?

Nice, it would be possible to see at a glance if an area is busy with construction - or not.

It's kinda more confusing this way - are you supposed to know this system is under construction? Revoked claim? Is it excluded for colonization, period?
