colonisation

So with the madness, drama, and FOMO about claims and stealing... how about offering everyone an opportunity to equalize the playing field? As of now people who are on more, have carriers and credits, friends in game etc are at an advantage in claiming systems. Yet even those who can churn out...

I placed station at the wrong spot. Got gas giant with metal ring (A ring) and ice ring (B ring). Meant to place it in a ice ring (B ring) but didnt know how it works. Looks like slot 0 is A ring and slot 1 is a B ring. I thought slot 0 is somewhere in ring and slot 1 is outside the ring. Now I...

Greetings Commanders, Dear Frontier Development, Now that colonisation is open for everyone, The Gatekeepers are willing to participate in colonisation, serving their beliefs. The Gatekeepers would like to be registered as faction, though currently there seems not to be a way to do this in a...

Many people, even when playing in a squadron, are playing solo most of the time. Changing the owning fraction of the system to the squadron's one may prevent from chaining owning fraction for multiple systems on the outer rims of the galaxy. Of course you could BGS your way to the top, but it is...

I just spent 12 hours straight grinding to daisy chain out to a star system I wanted only to have it stolen by someone else who was camping out waiting for my last load at the colonization ship. That felt really bad. It’s like ganking has been added to my solo/pve world, but worse. Getting...

I've anticipated base building for a long time. The recently released colonization gameplay isn't the base building I had in mind, but it is still a neat feature of Elite. However, some of the costs (in time and tonnage) to complete construction projects are steep for a solo player. I assume the...

The system colonization beta has only 1 viable playstyle: hauling supplies and materials. This is a monotonous activity. Many people dislike hauling especially for 100s of hours. So activities should be added to integrate other careers. For example: Combat = defend or escort NPC traders from...

As the title says I spent the last two days hauling all the necessary commodities to complete a station in my claimed system. Upon completion of delivering the last if the commodities i notice I can't upgrade it or otherwise interact with the system as My Colonies in the Galaxy map is empty...

o7 Commanders and Dev team! One of the iterations on the Trailblazers update that I would love to see is an Architect Settlement; a true ground-based home base that would give the Commander who architected the system a place to call their own. Here's a suggestion of a few things that the...

As the first cmdr to successfully claim ownership of the PUPPIS SECTOR TO-R B4-4 system under the new colony gameplay, my friend and I had achieved over 50% infrastructure development progress. However, yesterday the system ownership status was abruptly removed from my account without...

I understand that everyone wants their own systems, but wouldn't it be more logical to make this mechanic inside the squadron? Since it will probably be almost impossible to pull this off alone. In the end, the squadrons themselves do not have enough expansion inside the game, except to rally...

Dear Frontier Developments Team, Thank you for your dedication in bringing Elite Dangerous to life. This game has captured the imaginations of space enthusiasts and gamers a like, offering an unparalleled scale and depth. As a passionate player, I wanted to share some ideas for the game’s...

Wow I started my own loreplay colonisation in Arcadia system: Lyaiso YW-B b13-5, and sent there two carriers - outfitted as a space station. I made lore for that, some funny stories, and prepared an expredition (1-Nov - start) to the Arcadia...

So with the current Thargoid incursion into the bubble and whatever other armageddon FDev has planned for the future I have a proposal: Outfit stations with an Emergency FSD drive. I am aware that stations such as Orbis and Ocelus are deployed via an FSD at the back, then the FSD is replaced...

Has no-one requested a PLANETARY ship, with NO FSD, for transport and haulage within solar systems and as a general construction, colonisation and scientific reserch vessel? I ask because, after a boring day scanning obscure TV channels, I stumbled across Gerry Anderson's "Space 1999" and was...

Joystick waggling! My X52 Pro and pedals arrived today - woo! I am fairly impressed with the hardware, it's solid and seems well made. Unfortunately it doesn't click, and the old trick of holding the base and waggling the joystick has got me absolutely nowhere in Daley Thompsons Decathlon :(...
