Elite Dangerous | System Colonisation Beta Details & Feedback

So as a single player can I start with a smaller outpost and then build a large station at my leisure later in the same system?
The time required for the initial station does not take into account that some people have a real life.

Request for the ability to claim a system for a squadron with a passive share for all squadron members when the wealth of the claimed system increases.​

As the stations in the system increase, the system architects also receive a regular passive income with weekly payouts in the millions.
It would be cool if you could claim a system like this for a squadron and then all members of the squadron would get a passive share as the wealth of the claimed system increases. Since it is very time-consuming to build more and larger stations, in my opinion this would have made much more sense for a multiplayer game. At the moment everyone has the desire to build their own system. That is too bad.
 
When the update dropped, I wanted to run with a Coriolis station, now I realise that an Outpost is better to get the ball rolling and launch from there. I cancelled my claim to reclaim it (first time, so shouldn't be locked out) and the UI is saying I'm now locked out of that system, even after a relog and waiting for the ship + beacon to disappear.

This has also happened to a friend of mine, which led to her losing the claim to someone else, and was a system she was eyeing up.

The issue of being locked out immediately should either be clarified or fixed urgently, so people can safely restart a claim without the chance of someone else taking it.

This is intentional. The System Colonisation contact is available in the core systems and in all successfully colonised systems which have completed the primary port. Certain signature systems cannot be claimed.
I did a wrong quote. Derp

I'm hoping the Vanguard system starts to address things like this and make it easier to share ownership of all assets, including fleet carriers and colonised systems.
 
My colony has been lost?
After relogging today, my claimed colony is there, the colonization carrier is there, however:
  • it no longer recognizes me as architect
  • it is gone from my mission tasks
  • the colonisation map does not work anymore
anyone else with this as well?

Yes, same here.

I've seen it mentioned on the forums a few times, apparently after exiting the game and relaunching (sometimes more than once) it goes back to normal.

Same here, no mission, no colony in the galmap, system has the construction ship but when I dock on it the CMDR field is empty.
I did notice the game took VERY long to load on a black screen before the main menu, and took a very long time to load on orage spin ship screen.
Quit to desktop, this time the game loaded much faster to main menu, but orange spinship still took longer than usual, no mission.
Quit to main menu, this time the game loaded pretty fast, and my mission was back and everything is functioning correctly.
I imagine the servers are having a hard time updating clients with their claims and eventually the request times out, loading you in without the requisite information.

TL;DR: Keep relogging until it works.
