Elite Dangerous | System Colonisation Beta Details & Feedback

People report that as soon as first station is finished they loose architect status. It happened to me too, system was showing "invalid" label, which I think simply means that for some time servers are updating system status (no longer temporary, now colonized) as it all returned after a while. So I don't think there's reason to panic.

i'm 34% on a coriolis, first build not even finished yet, also lost status.

Nah, this is definitely different. As above, I've lost one existing that I had for a few days now, and one in-progress.

If you look at the Galaxy map, they've all changed status from "Inhabited" with the little player-colony icon, to "Invalid"

So, they're meant to all look like this:

Having faffed around with this display before, there were nowhere near this many invalid systems previously, and 100% of the ones I've looked at are player colonies.

Given what the front page of the issue tracker currently looks like, yeah, I think it's something new...

(I'm in the same boat: I completed my outpost few days ago, and everything seemed fine yesterday; today the architect view just says "previously established inhabited system" and shows no further open construction sites.)

Yikes!
You're right, that doesn't look like what I thought happened.

I just logged in to see what's what and my system is no longer mine too. Damn o_O
 
Lost architect ability, it turned into an invalid system.
other system with first completed station no longer architect

some thing happened.

Yep, as I posted above, this seems to have happened with everyone.

This is a pretty major thing so I wouldn't panic too much, FD are bound to resolve it.

I was going to finish a supply run and claim a new system, but just gonna hang foul til this gets resolved, would hate any new work to get undone in a rollback or something.
 
My current theory regarding the SA Status loss is that it has something to do with the continuous galaxy-wide BGS Updates.

As of now both of the systems I have colonized (one finished, the other under construction) are unaffected by it, which means it's a gradual process.

But that is just me theory-crafting and I am sure it will be resolved in no time.
 
Yeah same here, lost a system that had an outpost already finished and a second system i was working on. Also lost the mission for my current system colonization.

My system doesn't show up as "invalid", but "Inhabited". In system map it reads: "Previously Established Inhabited System"
That's fun :)
 
My friends are all saying the same thing but it doesn't show to me yet as I'm still logged in. I'm now nervous!

Do I stay logged in? Do I send an invoice to FDev for the kWh cost? :p

It seems that systems that had their primary port completed are "previously inhabited" while systems just the colonization beacon or an under construction primary port are now invalid
