I’ve been based in colonia now for approximately 6 months. It is by no means a hill billy outpost anymore. Quite the opposite in fact, it’s a thriving economy with a rapidly expanding population.
The frustration in not being able to support the local economy in not being able to buy decent sizes of A rated modules is what drives cmdrs back to the bubble . We are only just starting to be able to engineer to G5 and that’s only with two of the engineers. I really think the region is missing out and in my humble opinion is being held back in terms of attracting more players to the region.
The region offers all the same kinds of gameplay as in the bubble perhaps the only exception is the Thargoid narrative, and we enjoy access to as many pristine rings as almost every system offers them, so it’s a miners dream.
We have a few player factions that I dip in and out of supporting them when required. If Passenger missions are your thing then I can confirm that several systems offer short one jump high value VIP missions and any amount of long haul from 2k ly to 22k lyr upto +30m a pop.
If you’re grinding combat rank, we have plenty of compromised Nav beacons , war and civil war states and everything that comes with them-CZ’s and G5 mat USS’s .
If you’re a trader, either find and supply missions or direct trade routes are plentiful, basically what I’m saying is the only bad thing about the colonia region is as I said earlier, is not being able to buy a decent sized A class module.
I’m earning a fortune, but cannot spend much of it locally, I’ve made a point of buying small and medium ships and take them around the engineers just to try and increase my rep.
Are there any plans to introduce the full range of module availability to the region,? or should I go back to the bubble ? . Why can’t we have a Jamieson memorial type of station ? Where every module and ship can be available, even at a premium, I’m sure players wouldn’t mind paying extra for the privilege of buying the module size and class they want . Or maybe a CG for this would I feel be well attended
I’m loving the region, it’s getting better, but fitting out a ship locally sucks .
Fly safe and regards to all
