Elite Dangerous | System Colonisation Beta Details & Feedback

[Archduke]

Strongly recommend NOT leaving any ship on the constuction megaship when construction completes.
Especially if logged off and another commander finishes construiton efforts.

I don't know if it is a bug or not. I was able to start colonizing system HIP 85253. However, two things I noticed: there are no construction points showing, and the building ship spawned 100,774 Ls away. The system looked promising, so I don't know if I chose badly, or if something is not right.

the first one auto chooses the station spot for you. mine is 267,831 LS from the main star . it doesnt affect me yet, since i'm just dropping right to the planet next door with my carrier anyway

 

[RetHZ]

Got an issue where after completing the initial starport and logging out, I'll get the objective to complete it over and over despite it clearly being there already.
This also prevents me from building anything else since it thinks the primary starport hasnt been completed yet

But it's weird that I can't see any "+" sign.

i think a station becomes "official" at the weekly maintenance tick

Yup, apparently that's when they will be "online"

 

[GraphicEqualizer]

Got a fine for my big ass ship loitering a few seconds on wrong pad... now cannot pay off the 'anonymous' fine and so cannot repair or refuel - minor inconvenience with my carrier nearby, but still an issue and could be terrible for other players without a carrier or very low of fuel/hull - I can still transfer construction goods.

No menu for paying off minor fines.

EDIT: Does the fine need to be paid off at the system you initiated the claim from i.e. not at the colonisation ship? If so this needs to be indicated somewhere at colonisation ship.
EDIT #2: Confirmed this is the case. Get a fine, go back to the starting system and pay off at the station there.

Weirdly enough, all the "+" icons became green as soon as I finished delivering materials to the colonisation ship and it allowed me to select new stuff to build straight away, which is not the case anymore after the relog.
Dumb of me to take a break before deciding what to build next

I crash to desktop frequently and my carrier can’t jump anywhere. I’m not even talking about long jump times, it just says every system in the entire galaxy, including uninhabited ones, have no free slots. So, hoping this gets resolved soon.

Same. Servers are struggling - victim of their own success methinks

EDIT: Finally got a jump slot, 1h15 countdown - really going to impact the ability to reach first port deadline at this rate. Time to take a break and see if servers are better later

Actually, had the same issue, however I decided to choose what to build by clicking on green icons, but there was no waypoint for delivering materials. I relogged and now everything is grey. But what is more weird is that elite thinks that building is already in progress.

so, we completed it, but its not complete? Do we have to wait for the daily tick for it to realize that im done? cant turn in the "mission" anywhere either!

 

[DjVortex]

They stated even in the first announcement stream that new starports become complete after the thursday maintenance break, so you'll have to wait until that.

Meanwhile I believe you can disembark at the station and see it "ready to open".

If you have delivered all the required goods, wait for the next Thursday tick for the station to go active.

 

[JohnDow]

If you have delivered all the required goods, wait for the next Thursday tick for the station to go active.And what

And what about any other construction in progress? Seems there is no way to finish it at all

 

[alexzk]

We need some priority carrier jump for people who is in the Void. 1 jump per 2 days ... I may get back to Bubble next autumn

 

[bsmith993]

Whilst stuck waiting for a carrier jump time slot I couldn't help but notice that the number of ports under construction in the galaxy map is staggering! I honestly didn't think there were that many people still in Elite!

 

[T3chnation]

If you have delivered all the required goods, wait for the next Thursday tick for the station to go active.

does this mean i cant start building the rest as well?

I've asked elsewhere, but trying again:

Now that colonisation is upon us, will PMF applications reopen? My squadron would like to participate, but obviously would prefer to further our own flag rather than being forced to adopt some random faction in some random system.
