colonization

Of course, many, many player groups started the land grab with pre-selected targets. Leaving us solo players left out. This thread is for losers like me. Here's my "lost system": HIP 79346 Loaded with gas giant rings brimming with stuff, this is a mining playground. Please share your tales...

In the quiet countryside of the Netherlands, a movement is gaining momentum. Groups of ordinary Dutch citizens—engineers, scientists, farmers, and dreamers—are uniting around an extraordinary goal: to leave Earth behind and begin anew on a distant planet. For these pioneers, the decision to...

#dutchexpansion Amsterdam—For the Verhoeven family, life has never felt more precarious. Every evening, as the sun sets over their quiet suburban home, they glance nervously at the ominous silhouette suspended in the sky. It is the fractured remains of a Thargoid Titan, one of the alien...

From: Concerned Dutch citizens Date: 4 jan 3311 To: Citizens of the Federation Subject: An Urgent Call for Unity and Renewal in the Post-War Era Dear Fellow Citizens, We address you today not as strangers, but as brothers and sisters bound by a shared identity—Federation citizens, united in...

Motley Cruel is looking for new members! With Elite evolving and the time until Vanguard is released we would like to grow our ranks. We accept players that enjoy solo play too! Mostly UK based. We're a fun Squadron of experienced players and ready to welcome new members of all skill and...

A few questions and concerns about system colonisation: Building diversity - we can place existing assets. How do they prevent the settlements from looking the same or too similar? Building upgrades - when a settlement grows can the buildings get bigger? Settlement size - how large can a...

What I've found so far is; some system in the bubble has higher population and strong economic (high supply commodity, fairly low price). These system has something in common; 1. Not far from power headquarter than 50 ly. 2. Not far from Sol system than 100 ly. 3. Have at least one Earth-like...

It is with great excitement that we receive the news about player-driven colonization. I speak as an individual commander committed to exploration and advocating for "population dynamics" which I posted about here years ago. I also am one of the leaders of a larger squadron and leading player...

When do you think they will introduce these concepts into the game? I would like to be able to explore outside the bubble and pick a planet, Mark that location and then begin a gameplay loop where I go to occupied space and bring back personell to occupy and build the new settlement. Collect...

With the new content coming in Update 11(Fleet Carrier Interiors) I wanted to make a proposal. I call it the Outer Rim Initiative. The Goal would be to find isolated pockets that require a fleet carrier to get into and out of. I know that at least one place was discovered before fleet...

Now that the Milky Way galaxy just got a little smaller with the DW expedition: 1. is it possible to get space legs similar to the way this exists in X4: Foundations or (Candyman meets boogey man alert) Star Citizen? It would be great to be able to exit your spaceship/land rover when landed on...

In that spirit please refrain from name calling. (sjw, snowflake, idiot, etc) Introduction: I read this article recently called We need to change the way we talk about space exploration by National Geographic Then I started following the links and started reading The Racist Language of Space...

I think the current mechanism of human expansion (mostly through community goals and FDEV generated bases) is a bit restrictive and not terribly interesting from the players' perspective. Despite attempts to involve the player base in the construction of new bases, I've never really felt any...

This idea has a complexity which could be part of a new DLC. It would require quite a lot of assets and balancing. But I feel confident it has a huge potential to create more identification and emersion for players with the world they act in. Here's the idea (note: every letter in quotation...

Maybe you use the fleet carrier to set up a colony: Steps: Collect participating friends to be part of a colony "fleet" (not required, but available) Compile money to purchase a fleet carrier and associated components that will comprise the colony infrastructure at the destination (perhaps a...

Hi Commanders.... Now you can vote for the Best of E3 Peoples Choice. Doesn't HAVE to be Elite: Dangerous......but was is not the best? :) :p Here's the link: http://woobox.com/p3omtv/8p3sor See you in the Milkyway!
