I'm not sure if this has been asked already (there's currently 128 pages on this thread!)
It would be incredibly useful if we could set a filter for the market to the materials required for a specific construction (as can be done for missions) rather than having to screenshot the requirements, write them down, or go into the galactic map then the system map then the construction in question and look there.
It would also be useful to be able to go directly to construction sites on planetary bodies without having to move the cursor to the planet and zoom in and rotate the planet.
This would make managing the various construction projects much easier, especially when there can be multiple such points in a system at the same time.

The set is 95% standard, sold at the same type of station. The only difference is with composites that are sold at planetary ports

There remain small nuances that are easy to see. Usually I start them first so that I don't waste time on them later.

\o/ I lost my System Architect and Crane mission etc. again, it seems. A beacon is still there and the colonisation ship too, but...

Anyone else with such symptoms?

EDIT: An lo! there it is again, after logging in. Schrödinger's Cat, so it must be an API.

I hope architect will not have fines and not be scanned by authority in their systems.

You will. I'm pretty sure that you have to basically abide by the laws of the minor faction you expanded off of. I don't think you'll have a choice of choosing high security versus anarchy system types, apart from maybe whatever the minor faction security was in the system you expanded from.

Anyone else with such symptoms?

Working for me. Just checked the Concourse again. VistaG, Frontline and Pioneer have all opened up.
Looking good so far but the cherry on top is my cute little bartendress. I hope she sticks around. 😎

Yeah, it's like how could they extend the range while keeping it balanced? A lot of people have commented on the range.

So something like where you can go 50 ly out but it's costlier and have to wait a month or two before claiming another system, or longer for 100 ly. That and other people can't build off your claim for a significant while, and can only go 15 ly, to prevent instant long range daisy chains. Maybe you can only claim one far from bubble system but can eventually daisy chain 15 ly off it. So basically everyone gets a chance to leap far from the bubble but you're locked into that choice for a long time. It would sate the explorer's urge and keep things balanced.

I don't expect any significant changes now, they're probably gonna gather data for awhile. I just hope in the future there are improvements to the system like with claim range or variety of station completion methods. Improvements that keep player enjoyment and balance in mind.

So don't know how long it takes to code changes or the work involved. To keep it simple why not allow everyone a 25-100 ly claim from the bubble? Same month to complete and resources required. Maybe get one or two of these total unless fdev metrics show more is ok. Can't chain 100 ly off 100 ly. If 100 ly is too much make it 50. Give people a chance to pick something they really want but keep it balanced.

Thank you! Well, my experience was a little less stable, alternating between days and hours, as of today. You never know. But I bet you've never met my Piper Stevens, serving the bar on The Lawful & Vernon, my carrier. She went with me to the end of the galaxy and back and still looks the same as ever. Highlander in reverse. Hoping to find another one like her in the starport I'm building, as it will be named after a friend (passed away about 3 years ago) whom I promised it. So, here we got a sacred mission. Still I bet yours doesn't serve beer too. Working towards that!

I received the weekly payout for having a system colonized, I only have one outpost. I was not expecting some elaborate payout, but seriously...15,309 credits? That doesn't even cover the cost of fuel it took to build the thing.

I don't know what the number for a single outpost in a single system should be, but it's not 15,309 credits. 100k Credits feels more appropriate? I don't know how much tax they plan on taking away once you hit 5mil, but it shows how many single outpost systems you need to build to even begin to hit that amount.

Bugs and server issues aside... I have to say I really like this update. Look at the beautiful place I chose to build a research facility. On the other side of this huge crater, right at the edge, there will be a tourist facility.
I have two nice planets in my system with blue (but a bit thin) atmospheres.
This one even has a snowy polar cap, so I'll choose a nice place for the facility there too.
