Almost all my planets have disappeared from my system

[Ben Cysco]

So, I just logged in to go do some hauling and thought I'd look at my system and start planning where to put another installation and yeah.... my gas giants have gone, their moons gone, all planetary bodies except one. I think I had 30+ bodies in total... could be 20+, I don't remember.

I bit disappointing but thats life. Kinda made me smile. God just up and took away my whole solar system.

This and 2 for 2 binary systems I've claimed having the first port at the furthest star. My first Colonisation Ship was put 300,000ls from the main star. I managed to complete the Coriolis using mostly a type-8 for speed. This new system has is at 50,0000ls. Its not fun hauling those distances without a carrier. I'll live, but this sort of grind is getting tedious and the benefits are so low, its really feeling like its not worth the effort. I mainly just wanted to have a port close to some easy mining and storing my ships. My own little slice of the pie for a home system. As it stands, with the economics not seemingly working well. A total lack of any real documentation and some pretty lacklustre updates from Frontier that seem to suggest there was no real plan for how it was going to work. I dunno... The fun is tanking and the grind for very tiny amounts of weekly income isn't really going to make me keep coming back. Also, I'm pretty sure the industrial plant I just finished was supposed to have up to medium landing pads only to find out it has no landing pads at all. It might have been my mistake but I was sure I was careful in selecting the right one.

Anyway, hopefully things get worked out soon and some updates can make it feel worthwhile bothering. At least, we can hope.

I'm having login issues (for the last couple of hours) and having problems with the issue tracker (as in it's having trouble bringing up the list of reported issues) so I'm assuming an issue with servers....unless it turns out to be an internet connectivity glitch....

From a memory of another post with the same problem, I think re FSS the system helps. It might be worth a try.

Then sell the data to UC just to be sure.

Agreed, Far too much effort for very little reward with this colony stuff !

 

[Dragsham]

Oh no colonisation is balanced, perfect as it is according to some cmdrs. There's no over-emphasis on hauling at all. We just choose to do too much of it. Call it grinding. We could/should take years perhaps.?
We hate it, we try to solo it. We have no basis for contesting fdevs sole hauling OTT philosophy.
You raise a point and someone will counter with benign counters.
Human nature i guess.


Hope your planets come back Op

FSS brought it my 37 bodies back, but it was weird D-Scan did nothing and I had to locate a number of planets with the ship as they didn't appear in the FSS unless I was pointing at them. I have sold the Data a couple of times since starting that system. Guess I need to do it again when the server comes back up.

Each to their own. For me, hauling this much stuff, especially solo, should come with a worthwhile, material gain. I could do 1 hour of platinum mining and get $50mil easily. Thats roughly one year of income from a station. 50 weeks at 100,000 credits. Thats a ridiculously low. Horribly unbalanced in my opinion. And, without having enough knowledge available to plan out a system to help you sell something like Platinum (for example) in the same system for a decent return, you're literally wasting an immense amount of time guessing, praying, and hoping it works out.

I don't think its wrong to think that a considerable change to the game should come with at least a basic knowledge base to point you in the right direction when introduced. I was expecting at least a reasonable return for my time or a cut of the sales made at the station or cheaper goods as the owner... something that makes the time worthwhile. I suspect theres going to be an awful lot of dead and abandoned systems within a few months.

Technically, the D-scanner ONLY (1) discovers stars (2) tells you the body count and (3) enables you to use the FSS. So this is pretty normal outside of discovered space. The reason you usually see more on the map in new-to-you but previously-discovered system is not actually because of the D-scanner.

Did you happen to die in the game recently?

The reason you usually see more on the map in new-to-you but previously-discovered system is not actually because of the D-scanner.

But it does allow you to see the system via the system menu. You just don't get the information for the bodies until you use FSS.

No... a few days ago I I died but I've re-logged in multiple times since then. Sold Cartographics and been in and out of the system dozens of times hauling.
