Thanks for the answers. I was a bit confused. I had my Apollo Orbis Station done yesterday but its still in Deployment while the 2 Settlements i built after were finished instantly.

Has anyone worked out what purpose is served by System Colonisation Ships in already-inhabited systems? I docked at one out of curiosity, and that's all I could do there. They don't even provide R/R/R.

They are like the ones in the pre-Trailblazer established systems now, jumping off points, just signifiers that players can drop a beacon within 16ly and they will head out there.

Do the settlements have missions on offer from the factions, yet? My station didn't show any missions, but I haven't finished a ground settlement yet.

We've had a report that the cost in commodities is higher for some people than for others for the same type of facility. Could be to do with Pilot's Federation ranking, perhaps Trade PF ranking. Has anyone else seen this?

Word on the grapevine is the different costs depends on the size of the system and how many slots it has.

Native factions can't be kicked out of a system.

Is it definite that the founding faction is native?

No, but I believe it's definite that they are NOT native:
Ian Doncaster said:
You can test this by aligning a squadron to the faction, which will tell you what its home system is, but the quick answer is "no faction is native to the colonised system"

Factions can only have one home system.
Colonisation doesn't create any new factions at all.
Therefore the faction's home system isn't ever going to be the newly colonised system.

I heard none of the factions are counted as native. Any of them can be kicked out. But keep in mind, with 3 or less factions, barring any pending a retreat, they cannot be retreated.

More factions might come to the system in time... from other nearby systems. Like what happened in Colonia. Though I doubt if most places will have as much concentrate effort at BGS as Colonia attracted.

When system population is low, should be really easy to maintain the BGS in the system.

Has anyone built a successful refinery facility that you can dock at that isn't a t3 Planetary port? The refinery under hubs is the horizon settlement even though in the Nav Panel it states it has appropriate landing pads and activity is trade

I am having the same issue, I am hoping it's a bug that will be fixed. It's a tier 2 building seems odd I can dock at my tier 1 mine but not my tier 2 refinery. Also the refineries already in the bubble are dockable so why should we not be able to dock and buy aome cmm composite.

Has anyone seen this bug?
  • My colony sytem: ALBUS
  • All good with the beacon deployment.
  • Completed the first small Outpost successfully, and renamed it successfully (Sisters Base).
  • Started three new construction sites, all three of them installations.
  • Completed my first installation today, a Satellite (Collins Beacon).
  • Other two installations still to go (Orbital Construction Site: Black Enterprise) (Orbital Construction Site: Mesa's Progress).
  • I quit ED
  • I return to ED
  • My colony sytem ALBUS is now showing as a "Previously Established Inhabited System", not my colony anymore.
  • Dispite of that, all previous construction work I put in the system is still there.
  • And I still can visit, and dock, and deliver goods, to the two pending installations.
  • In the map, the yellow icon that was showing before (representing I am its architect) is now gone.
I have also read about sistems becoming "Invalid" for colonization, after teh beacon was deployed, after colonization ship had arrived, and goods being delivered already.

How come? Anyone else? Any tips?

Thanks folks

The galaxy map is now showing a lot of red crosses and solid triangles (where before they were new colonies):

Link between Powerplay and Colonization

Hi,
Do you have any information on the connection between these two aspects of the game? Is there a link between the architect's affiliation and their power, or not at all?

This has happened to me twice now. Quitting the game and restarting fixed it the first time, but the second time it hasn't worked, despite quitting and restarting twice now.

It's very disconcerting.

Thanks for the reply. I also did a few quiting and restarting, and problem persists.

Best to put in a support ticket, before the tick if possible in case it affects any completed assets.

Yesterday I had these purple triangles on the Galmap and "Previously Established Inhabited System" when plotting a jump rather than showing the number of jumps.
Selecting realistic view fixed this for me.

Over in the release thread, Paul has acknowledged the issue where System Architect status may appear to be lost. He says "Whilst we investigate, please be assured your systems, status and progress are not lost!"

Elite Dangerous | System Colonisation Beta Details & Feedback

Still think my theory is still a viable alternative, The BGS has seen the player expansion and has now decided 'it' is in taking control back, so it has removed the architects and is now going continue expanding the bubble under its control 🤖 "I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."
forums.frontier.co.uk forums.frontier.co.uk

And it appears that it is fixed already for some Commanders.

So my read is, honestly if you're affected by this, be assured nothing is lost and wait a few hours today whilst FDev deploy fixes.
