Elite Dangerous | System Colonisation Beta Details & Feedback

I am having the issue where I claimed a system, I went to the claimed system and deployed the Beacon, then the colonization ship never arrives.
Things I tried:
  • Jumping out and back in to the claimed system.
  • Restarting the game. - this will cause the game to ask me to redeploy the beacon again.

No matter how many times I redeploy the beacon after restarting the game, the colonization ship will not arrive.
The problem is, every time I restart, I notice that the 24 hour timer is still going, its down to less than 22 hours now....
Any help would be appreciated, I am sure that initiating an issue tracker won't help in this case because there is not way it is confirmed in less than 22 hours, which means I will lose my claimed system :(
 
15 yl is very little if you are going to an unknown system to explore, BUT if you have to make more than 100 trips in a cutter to just make your first station and it is a bit far away... and repetitive...and... not fun?

I had a similar issue. Couldn't deploy a beacon in my claimed system at the beacon deployment location marker as the mechanism kept restarting and failing. Logging out and logging back in, I discovered that my claimed system was now claimed by someone else.

I've submitted tickets.
 
So. I chose to build an Orbis station, big one with a ring round it...and it's about 200,000 units to build...which is stupid. But my main gripe is I chose the system...set up the beacon and went there. Now it's chosen a random moon for my initial starport and I couldn't be more unhappy about it...its 4300Ls from entry. I've already unclaimed and reclaimed the system so I can't start over again and I really really need a dev or something to move the colonisation ship to next to the primary star in the system and not some crappy little moon 4300Ls away from entry.

I am sorry to hear that happened to you. In my case, I already claimed the system, and I can see that its my name as Architect.

The problem I have is that, after successfully deploying the beacon, the megaship never arrives, and when I restart the game , the 24 hour times is back instead of the the 4 week one....

I had the same issue. I moved to the place, where the station is supposed to be built and reloged there. The colonization ship appeared then
 
Being able to "Pin" a list of required commodities would be good. I.e. when showing up at a commodity market, have commodities pinned/outstanding highlighted to remind you to snag them.

EDIT: This is something I have called for for a long time - see linked google doc in sig below - and especially useful now
In typical FDev fashion you need pen and paper!!
 
How long to download. mines stuck on preparing for update 0% complete for 10 mins. so far. server status good. im on fibre so its not internet. this is awaste of an evening when i have limited time . cheers

Indeed, scouting the area I'm investigating the old fashioned way, I've found that every catalog star system in the area has a beacon and colony ship (unsurprising) but all of them also show as unclaimed in the architect view. Seems the displayed claim status (in the galaxy map and at the colonization contact) isn't connecting with the actual progress here.
 
You're not. I want tritium at Mare Somnia / Abyss :D
I don't even know where that is, so then I guess we're good.

What I am worried about, is that this is a bug and when it gets fixed, somebody who didn't even bat an eye at it, will claim it before we do.
Which would in some manner, be unfair.

The icon is green, it even says that it's a valid system, I can go through all the steps, but when I go to claim it, it just says that it was unsuccessful.
Also, I do believe it someone claimed it, but hasn't deployed the beacon, the blip would be pink regardless and even if it would remain green, there's no way whoever claimed it, hasn't traveled at most 15ly back to the location within 2+ hours now.
 
Our squadron wish to create a micro-bubble (30-100 systems) outside of the current bubble. But
a) we are 160 ly away from the bubble edge (systems controlled by our user-created minor faction)
b) we'll need too many unneded intermidiate colonizations with boring M/K stars (just to make a chain)

20-40 ly colonization range is the minimum to take out of the bubble for the minor fraction we support.
Please, increase the colonization range to not pollute the galaxy with usless colonized systems.
Please, allow minor factions from the center of the bubble to reach the borders. Maybe, by allowing 60 ly colonization range withing bubble and 30 ly range outside of the bubble? Any other ideas?

PS And yes, CMM composite requirements are insane.
PPS Inability to choose location of the first station is a pain.

In my case, my system was already claimed by myself, but I coldn't deploy the beacon to confirm the claim, and on relog my claim was lost.
 
Я не могу найти список товаров, которые вы должны доставить, поскольку только система колонизации корабля прибудет в систему, рынок товаров на корабле не имеет ничего для продажи или покупки, карты показывают галактики, и системы карт также не показывают то, что необходимо, насколько я могу судить. Могу ли я получить какие-либо указания по этому поводу?
Same problem
