Ok, so i’m not alone, then.
Elite Dangerous | System Colonisation Beta Details & Feedback

- Start date
Could the racers help you though?
Yes, the CMMs need a rethink, even after increasing the amount available and the refresh time, you are not considering the player demand. As a result for even Outpost build you need 4700 CMMs, and after a couple of hours, I've only managed a couple of hundred. This does not make for great gameplay.
i got stucked with quest of colonizationGreetings Commanders,
With the launch of our Trailblazers update we will be bringing System Colonisation to Elite Dangerous! The launch of System Colonisation will be as a live Beta for the feature, allowing us to review data and make adjustments over time. This is a significant update to Elite Dangerous and whilst we are very happy with the feature we do understand that some fine tuning may be required initially.
Though this is a Beta it will be on the live version of the game and any actions/progress made will NOT be wiped unless a significant issue is identified. Here is a brief explanation of how the Beta works:
What the System Colonisation Beta is
- Feature complete
- All actions/resource payments made are final and will not be refunded
- A period where we can monitor data and make balancing adjustments
What the System Colonisation Beta is not
- A work in progress
- There will be no progress wipes
- There will be no resource refunds
The aim of the Beta is to gather data and feedback specifically focused on resource balancing. We are happy with the System Colonisation feature itself and whilst we are always happy for you to share your feedback the aim of this Beta is aimed firmly at resource balancing and not changes to the feature itself.
To help us in our balancing we will be using this thread for you to share your feedback on the following areas:
As always you are welcome to share additional feedback on the forums or to raise an issues you encounter on our Issue Tracker.
- Amount of resources required
- Amount of time/distance taken to complete tasks
the quest isn`t finished when i finished my station
Roll up roll up roll up - the first race of the "3311 Magic 8 Ball Championship" is called "Thinly Veiled Slave Drive". You start at any system stocking CMM Composites, Steel or Titanium and the finish line is the colonisation ship currently parked in Hyades Sector ZU-Y d68. You need to carry at least 50 units per trip and this is a 10 lap race. Have fun everyone!
Yep IMO those required quantities are going to need to be set to just 20% of the current values. A station needing 30000 aluminium and titanium etc., I get and it should be a hard slog mission. But an always rare in game commodity at that same amount as regular construction materials? No, come on. It also doesn't make sense lore-wise to just keep buffing the amounts that it spawns at...
Next thursday server maintenance is when it completes iirc
I need a little bit more than that, 52,310. Time will tell if I get enough, but in the last 4 hours I have collected 2,731. You might just be unlucky. If you can try a different source system for them, the quantity might be higher.
I found 1500t in no less than two jumps, no searching elsewhere, that's more than I could haul. By the time I scooped it up, delivered and returned, it was back. Are they really that rare? Or are people just looking in the wrong spots?
FWIW CMM's were satisfied much earlier than titanium or steel for my outpost.
It makes sense that you need a lot of material to build a space port. Those things are huge.
However, perhaps some kind of alternative could maybe be devised to get that material other than personally transporting all of it yourself. Although it's hard to imagine what that would be.
Although I'm already envisioning it: A player group like the Fuel Rats or the Rock Rats, but to help people finish their system colonization.
I get what you're saying, but this seems to be at the root of all the complaints.Roll up roll up roll up - the first race of the "3311 Magic 8 Ball Championship" is called "Thinly Veiled Slave Drive".

People don't want to work together to achieve something.
Jacques wasn't repaired by a single commander, right?
Other commanders reported that they were able to unclaim and reclaim some time later, that‘s why I even tried it.
Also for some time, I could apparently have claimed another system, but I decided to wait for my previous system to be available again.
Then things went south and I decided to report it here.

this. I had no issues filling up what I needed within a few hrs (outpost) within nearby systems. Might come down to where people are expanding. In my quadrant there is only me and one other expansion, so there is that..
Happened to me exactly like this last night, will just go back to preloading my carrier for now
I just visited three ground ports which had a total of 1600 CMMs. The problem appears to be more how people look for them (inara?) than the actual supply, although I can appreciate there must be areas where there is high competition for them - but then that's just an aspect of playing a shared galaxy at a time when a new feature results in hugely higher demand.
Are the "settler" factions considered "native" in the new system? Or are they not such... so we're having systems with no native factions?
