I got over 300,000 credits for a population of 14,800.
Elite Dangerous | System Colonisation Beta Details & Feedback
- Thread starter Paul_Crowther
- Start date
false advertisement. they're up
One thing that really gets on my nerves:
Please provid detailed informations about the exact type of settlements in the system map.
Currently there is no such information.
Why can't i see whether this is a comms installation, or a relay, or on the surface a Refinery Hub or an Tier1 Medium Agricultural Settlement.
I have to actually fly there to find out what it is, even when i have built it with my own hands. There is room enough in the information box (top right button in the system map) that has the same text for every installation. And very little information about outposts and settlements.

Communication or its lack is valid feedback to the developer. I’m certain something between a livestream of the coding process and no information could be arranged.
Over-reading into a maintenance notice is not FDevs fault directly but a little update now and then on a headline feature disabled would go a long way.
The faction that got 4 were not the system controller but one of the other factions so it isn't based on influence share in this case. My faction were pretty much on the same INF and got nothing so who knows what governs it. Still, I'll have one of them in a couple of days and ....in couple of weeks...... the whole system! Mwahh ha ha haaa.... Oh, the power!
quoting Paul in another Thread
"Hi folks, we appreciate you are eager to know more on the Colonisation pause. We don't have anything to announce right now as investigations are still ongoing. We are not able to offer a timetable at this time. Rest assured that as soon as we can share more we will let everyone know. "

The update in the pause thread is that there is no update, so that is a "no". I'd say another week at least is a reasonable bet.
Does anyone know if surface hubs like the refinery count toward the increased point cost?
I have feedback - How about we don't get shot at and/ or fined for viewing the ground installations we built? LOL
I built my second ground site that has done just that. An exploration hub of all things. Turns out? It's like trying to get into Fort Knox and his highly militarized. My poor T9 space trucker can't take that kind of beating. Doesn't seem very "Exploration Hub" to me. It would be like going on a long road trip, pulling off at the truck stop/ rest stop and everyone has AKs and opening fire on you. Like, "Whoa! I just need to use the damn restroom and maybe have a go at some crappy vending machine coffee!"
Also, on a separate note? Doesn't it seem like population should be higher? I have a few tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 ground sites and space installations, but I feel like the coriolis port, alone, especially in being T3, should facilitate 10,000 on its own. My system's population is only 20K. I always thought those tall structures on the outside of the coriolis port were buildings people lived in.

Don't be absurd and quit attempting to derail my comments.
while I was shipping battle weapons and combat stabilizers I was half expecting the police from the faction whose stations i was building would scan me and get mad. Fortunately no scans that time around.
I realized I had battle weapons for building up a military settlement. I had to go 8 jumps out of my way to get them. Had to stop for fuel. Trying to boost with silent running through a slot and stop before hitting the back in a Cutter is... a challenge. Most expensive fuel bill I've ever had.
Beacon has returned \o/
If you mean the Silenus Refinery then no. I already had a Coriolis port when I built my Silenus refinery and when I 'bought' the main Planetary Port it only cost 6 T3 points, not 12.
This might seem like an issue on paper but unless you are trying to pick up more cargo at another port where those commodities are deemed illegal due to jurisdiction (generally military stuff like Battle Weapons), you’ll be off fine. Because there is never any security patrols at a construction site (not seen any yet anyway).

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this. But it would be nice -- and makes sense -- that architects would have level three security access at installations which they built. It would also be nice if facilities acknowledged the architect in their radio communications. Thanks!

People take time to produce on site, have you been shipping any in?
