After spending a very long time In Colonia I have decided to go back to the bubble. I wanted to share with you some of my thoughts of Colonia, why I think it's great and also why not so great:
1) The small size makes the entire region easily accessible, being allied to most all factions of note is great for running missions about the place
2) Having engineers and material traders only two or three hops from each other is great, and the engineers are getting better and better
3) As a base for exploring from or mining Colonia is better than anywhere.
4) Being in Colonia gives a different perspective of the game, that helps broaden the appeal, at least in my opinion
5) Less good is the lack of A rated modules. That is annoying
6) Then shipping stuff from the bubble gets really expensive, especially an A rated well equipped Corvette
7) Even if there was something you wanted from the bubble, quite frankly, you don't bother because while getting back to the bubble takes 30 seconds getting back to Colonia can be a drag. Especially if you've done it a few times before. And you thought forgetting limpets was a pain in the ass...
On the whole I think I'm now ready to change my perspective again and return to civilization- to change my game style. I really hope Colonia does expand and continues to do well, not least because I've got the best part of a billion credits of ships and modules stashed out there.
So I recommend everyone take a visit, you might end up staying a while, it's a part of the fun of just how big the game is.
Now, just to decide where to call home in the bubble...
