System Colonization Assistance Megathread

I have begun construction of a new coriolis station in system COL 285 SECTOR SW-G B25-9.
The main port is finished, so there is no time limit on this station.
Still, if anyone wishes to give a hand with aluminium, steel, CMMs and/or titanium, and earn a little money on the trading, any help will be met with open arms :):):)

T3 port at that distance? Ouch. Carrier job if I've seen one. I definitely haven't got systems or an eye on systems with stars much further out than that and the masochistic vein to do it without carrier hauling.

Build projects of my own? Uhh, nothing I need help with right now so I'll drop out into the shadows again. Wouldn't ask for it without offering some of my own first anyway...

Greetings from the the Dark Wheel.
 
Anyone else finding it hard going at present? I have 3 weeks 2 days 21 hours left at Col 285 Sector BI-I c10-4 and just cleared 54% but with the Panther Clipper less than a week away and back to back community goals my progress is slower than usual and also not made time to help others out recently
 
I ll deliver the aluminium and titanium later this day or saturday.
Thank you, any help appreciated but make sure your T3 is on track. I'm trying to finish the steel off then a breather so will drop by your system and see what I can source. 100k ls of SCO is a break of sorts
 
Your outpost Bouwens Platform is now at 55%. I have enough titanium and steel on the carrier to finish the construction, hopefully tomorrow evening.
I am happy to help out on any other construction, concentrating on the high volume stuff. Let me know which are the best local refinery systems.
Your surface installation needs some EPC. If you haven't picked any up yet, I have some on the carrier I can easily spare.
Thank you very much! I noticed the progress made and a FC in orbit.
I have been sourcing metals from Mooz Refinery on Synuefe XK-N c23-25. Seems to be the one with higher supplies. For CMM Composites, inson Gateway in HIP 30183 is the closest. I haven't decided yet on what more to build. I do hope to get some local production of materials needed for any further colonisation efforts.

Yes, I noticed your FC there yesterday, when I was filling up again. I am back in your system with enough steel, titanium and LOX for your outpost Coande Point, which I will deliver today. I will fill up again for your other outpost.
 
Thank you again, I will focus on the stuff that can be carried in the cargo hold of a T9.
I am also probably going to focus on the surface facilities.
Some Al, Ti and Steel are already starting to show on the local spaceports.

If you want, feel free to friend me in-game and/or inara.

Coande Point is now at 85%, and I am off to get the CMM, LOX, steel and titanium for your remaining orbital outpost.
I see that you have a couple of large surface installations as well, so let me know if you need some help with those.

You have helped a lot, can't possibly ask for more help.
I am building the surface facilities slowly anyway, to see how each affect the economy. But for now I am concentrating on the stuff which total tonnage is under my T9 cargo capacity because I currently don't have the time (or energy) for multiple trips. But as I said, I am going to go slow with those anyway. Next I will probably be building a new Military/Security facility to raise the system security level.

I am delivering the high volume stuff to your remaining outpost now. Friend requests sent (fingers crossed, never done that before. In game name is Swansong57, just in case you get confused). I haven't picked up any commodities for your other surface ports, but if you need a bit of help later just post on here.
 
So, I did say I wouldn’t ask for any assistance before providing some of my own…

but my plan changed as I’m looking to put down a refinery with a T3 starter port in the part of Veil West nebula’s colonization effort that has lesser coverage, as the main ones in the area stick near the nebula and/or its “western” side (so to speak). Specifics -

System : Veil West Sector BQ-Y d49
Port location - Planet 1, 363ls
Port type - Orbis
Planet type - High Metal Content, landable, no biologicals or geologicals… 3 surface slots
Remaining time (at moment of posting) - 4 weeks, claim was just made

To avoid confusion, the architect is Jana Razeki in the form of my second/alt account.

Once established I’d take care of the actual refinery/support structure building myself. Just would like a hand to actually put it down. Going to do some of it myself if it doesn’t complete super quickly - however currently the plan is to take a few days off hauling for the Panther Clipper II release. And may not get to it until Tuesday evening or Wednesday. Only made the claim ‘now’ to avoid somebody throwing down an industrial outpost above a world better used for other applications. Which I have had happen here already.

[Edit : the closest large refinery already existing is Veil West Sector GW-W c1-13 at 38 ly, if you don’t want to take a carrier or fill it locally]

Why a T3, well, I’m mostly going to the “Be very sure it won’t risk running out ever” extent. No systems with rocky bodies that are suitable and/or have a primary port on them have also yet entered claim range around this ‘side’… however I am a largely solo player so this effort on my own would be a bit out of reach, unless risking significant burnout to push it over the line.

It would also be a closer arrival point than any of the existing refineries, which additionally would start being distant once colony efforts move slightly further from immediate nebula surroundings. If they ever do.

Would this also benefit me? Yes, by creating a one-hop refinery location near one of my local claims. But I would like it to serve other people as well, and I find having to only do one jump to and from instead of 2-3 each way pretty convenient.

Additionally, in this particular area near a nebula, I would not like to make system claims just to “chain” somewhere with no intent to actually develop the system, even if just stars are in it, to reach a “good” refinery system with plenty of rocky bodies. It might not even be near anyway, thanks to the system generation.

If or when done I’ll throw in a picture with contributors as thanks.

I swapped to my Type-8 briefly, so much to like about it but I miss the extra capacity of the Type-9. Mentioning as perhaps the Panther Clipper capacity will do the same to the current big two. After watching the early testers I suspect the Panther Clipper will feel closer in behaviour to the Type-8 or Corvette than the Type-9 or Cutter
Finally, i ve reached one of my targeted main star systems at the current colonisation efforts.

System: AB Aurigae
I've dropped off some commodities. 100k ls is OKish with the Type-9 but slightly beyond the 70-80k ls I find it takes in it's stride. Will hang fire now and return in a Panther Clipper to see what difference that makes
System : Veil West Sector BQ-Y d49
It's a trek from my current location (38 jumps with a tiddly emergency fuel scoop) but I'm going to head over and see what I can do

Friend request accepted.
I am not the most sociable in online games, and I mostly play solo. But when I meet someone friendly and helpful, I usually give a try. If there is any thing I can do to help you in the future, feel free to message me. I don't do PvP and am not the best at Xeno, but exploration, trading and even some bounty hunting (NPCs) I am game.

Same here, as I always play in solo. I should do some more exploring, but there is always something going on in the bubble these days.
Currently doing the CG, as it's in my powers space. Unfortunately, more merits means more care packages, which I don't need.
 
Hello everyone I am a solo player starting my first t3 orbital "THE WINGED OAK CASINO" in my dream system Wredguia SX-L d7-92. I feel selfish asking for help knowing I cannot return the favor since I want to fully develop this system but the task of building a t3 is a bit intimidating for me.

The reason this system is special is because it is right next to Sothis, has 2 ELWs, has 1 WW, has 2 NSPs (NSPs aren't showing due to bug but FD is working on it), and several buildable HMCs. I want to fully develop this system to see how good a fully developed system of this magnitude does in every aspect. It may even turn into one of the most populated systems if I play my cards right.

Any or no help is fine I just wanted to post this in case somebody wanted to break in their new clipper with something. If anyone sees something that absolutely should be built there feel free to message me as well. Thank you for your help!
