Colonisation: cancel and reclaim, waiting period?

I had claimed a system and would like to cancel the construction in order to build a smaller station.
Can I claim the system again immediately after canceling the construction, or is this only possible after a waiting period?
 
I would also like to know this.

Also, can we first build a small station and then build a large station? Or are we restricted if we choose a small station?
 
Claimed a system a few hours ago, deployed beacon, colonization ship arrived ok, eventually managed to queue a carrier jump - logged off for a bit. Back on now and the system I claimed has a red cross and says its invalid in the architect view (ship does show in system though).
 
I have seen 23/25 million as the figure elsewhere and they did say it was going to cost less than an FC to get a system license.
Hmm. Ok. I guess the true cost is in buying/shipping the mats for building the station. Did you figure what it will cost to build your first outpost/starport?

Not looked at that yet, I am going to finish the CG first then look into setting up a colony when the first generation ones are established.

Cool man, if you could post back when you find out, I'd like to get an idea of the cost.

I guess it doesn't really matter...according to the Gal Map, literally every single system that can be claimed, has already been claimed.

I guess I'll wait a month and check back. Fun game.

So far it costs nothing, you can actually make credits when building the station since the colonization ship pays above the galactic standard for the goods.

The only cost (so far as I've experienced) is just the initial 25 million cedits.
 
Cost is $25m flat to claim a system. Cost of mats range from $200m to $525m depending on the starport. Apparently you make the money back when selling it to yourself though?

Same to me, 😥

As others have said, if you don't buy the commodities above market rates you could be in profit from the process.

Remember, the system isn't "yours", it belongs to the faction that you agree the expansion with. You're just contracting with them to do some of the work.
 
where is the cancel-button? when trying to claim a system quickly, i overlooked at the very beginning which place in the system was selected, i thought you can select the place later after claiming, now i'm supposed to build a station where it doesn't suit me at all. i miss the cancel button.
