Elements of SDC ( some of them unoffically) also code and some german organisations have passed along plans to head out to colonia specifically jaques station with unknown artifacts and probes, the reason for this is many fold, pushing the storyline along, loosening up the political environment, research purposes and even some seeking to attract the aliens if there are any in the milky way

This is open to all and sundry, groups and freelancers alike.

If youre interested just let us know, ill be taking a load of 5 UAs and 5 UPs, this program starts now and runs on a non specific timeframe for 2-3 months, the bulk of organised convoys will take place before and after xmas leading up to New years

If those that are particpating do wish to speak up let us know

Updates will follow

Edit Nexus Project has now sponsered a colonia expansion faction https://www.elitedangerous.com/en/colonia-expansion-initiative/ its an option for those who dont want to fall under the yoke of established players there at colonia.

Really :/ why not just take your probes and fly into sag a* and leave the frontier colonies along

This is a real thing, it would be nice if we could keep the hostility to a minumum. UA/UPs are a valid gameplay mechanic and its about to be used on the frontier. Its just a thing that is happening

There may even be rare trade goods and AI relics added to the mix if enough additional commanders want to get involved - CCN arent involved in this in either way just for public record

Legit gameplay! Don't you understand? It's a code word. Read this forum and you will see a pattern how and when "legit gameplay" is used.
Often in conjunction with desperate attention seeking.
Can be caused by the feeling of being rejected by others.


For those in Colonia: just haul meta-alloys in huge quantities ("tea-bagging" Elite style might be helpful) and in Solo Mode (and announce it for extra salt).

Well said sir, the whole thing stinks of sour grapes!

Be nice with the kids please. Given their average attention span, I highly doubt most of them will go past the first 5000 ly.

The few who do will probably gank each other shortly after that and stream the whole thing on you tube while they drink children stuff (redbull for the whine).

And even if some of them stay awake long enough to reach Colonia before 2017s Christmas and interdict you, we all know they'll log even before you can deploy your hardpoints anyway.

So yeah, let them be : puberty is something hard to cope with. I feel for them.

It is what it is, lets keep it clean and civil

If you oppose the actions being undertaken , individuals are welcome to haul meta alloys out as a counter.

And I repeat - people aren't stupid, we know what this is really about.

I don't see what is unclean and not civil about that. :D

yup taking Unknown artifacts, probes, ai relics and rare trade goods to jaques.

Nice and clean nice and public and quite civil - those involved pickup and collect, get 27000ly worth of exploration data, get to jaques and drop off their items.

Actually the kids are well organised, planning has been in the works for a while, there is no central structure that can be spied upon or espionaged or anything else, just a loose mailing list, some contacts and common interests.

Most of them will be in solo - attracting aliens or interesting events / CGs / Galnet to jaques might be a pleasant and exciting side effect, and if a few more freelancers jump in then so be it

FD seem to encourage the idea of this (supoporting the 'legit gameplay' ideal) by making UA sell for relatively large value per tonne and decreasing their rarity.

The impact on PP perhaps was an intention, and I also suspect an encouragement for people to use Engineeers and not rely on Stations - but it's not good imho.

The premise of the entire game was sold on being able to forge one's own path (and I know this does kinda hypocritically also support the UA Bomb motive although that is arguably different in that it affects huge numbers of others) so being 'steered' (see my thread on the Horizons discussion board "Steering") towars certaiń gameplay features is a shallow method for FD to encourage sales of Horizons and showcase features as well as prepare for future incentive to purchase the next such expansion.

Whilst I can fully understand FD motivation for these rationales, I think they way they have dfone it, and the impact of UA bombing is possibly more harmful than good to the community at large.

I personally, am not complaining about UA bombers nor their mindset, nor does it really make much difference overall to my particular gameplay - however it has creatyed a large division of opinion within the community (and not in a friendly-rivalry' sense)

Attention seekers seeking attention at the expense of regular game players.

Christmas time would be good time to introduce the aliens that supposedly are going to make an appearance soon™ - with insanely overpowered ships, targetting relentlessly everyone with UA in their hold... :)

Careful what you wish for CMDR! These Alien ships are brought to you by the same people that gave us psycho NPC pilots. Cargo hold full of UA's or no cargo hold at all, you'll be a viable target to them.

Sounds awesome, gets all of "those" players out the bubble. :D:D

To be fair it will be quite a feat if the manage to organise and execute it between so many groups.

Luckily lots of the CCN expedition following up are bringing meta alloys so it shouldn't cause too much of a fuss.

I was under the impression, that the emphasis in Colonia was to have no political environment at all...free of the superpowers and all.

Without going to far off topic, fdev are now taking and encouraging submissions for player minor factions (ground bases only) new systems opening up and the development of political factions - i know the original JoF proposal was for a freelancer base , certain other groups have policitalised it even if their bulk werent wanting it that way. Themed minor factions are already in place, so the process has already bolted. Im aware of at least 10 maybe more submisions already having gone in from small to medium sized player groups ( the number of bases and systems will rise from 10 maybe as high as 30-40 systems) so as u can imagine the whole situation is going that way and theres no real way to consolidate it, competiting groups and powerblocks will and are developing

And worse case if jaques was to be closed again, Fdev might finally add barnacle sites out there, and theres another station and outposts to dock at, and mroe CGs to build more before xmas as well.

This convoy should be an enjoyable and interesting experience, maybe a bit divisive, but Fdev have given us the tools and the content and role play will emerge one way or another

I agree it will get even more out of the bubble thats a good thing - opportunties abound

That said im normally not a big fan of SDC, but the detachment that is going has some interest in other things that they arent disclosing to me either so we shall see there
