At present there is no info (that I can find) on when we will be able to colonize, small positive though in the feedback thread Paul is answering. I did ask in there so hopefully it's been seen, tbh though it's been asked a lot so I would have thought Fdev have seen the requests for info and for now are sticking with the diplomatic silence until they can figure out how to word it lol. On the other hand they really might not know and don't really want to put that out there yet, fearing the pitchforks lol

What feedback thread are you referencing?
Elite Dangerous | System Colonisation Beta Details & Feedback
Oh, I force-refreshed the page (by pressing shift and clicking the refresh button), and now it works. False alarm, I suppose. ...Glad I could help! :P
Probably referring to this specific new post here from today--> https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...on-beta-details-feedback.634055/post-10571810
Yeah Neestar was spot on that's the one proves things are being observed what things though well that's a questionElite Dangerous | System Colonisation Beta Details & Feedback

They do not appear to have anything to say about it

given that you're bored, how would you know you're not in the process of building your space bar right now?
FDev. Make it so!
Make those pubs full of pub stuff!. And perhaps a place where to shift illegal goods to the barman
Flimley
The space bars seems like a money-making machines. I think after stations Frontier should focus on adding meaningful to players constructions like those landable space (and why not surface) bars.FDev. Make it so!

I would pay for customisations. I mean they missing a lot on those. I think there is bigger potential here than with ships and less costly if done well. Maybe another update in the future... Or we get real base-building (dreaming)
@Paul_Crowther
Could we get some clarification on the following statement(s):
The reason I ask for clarification is that I claimed a system on March 3, 2025, 8 PM. I deployed a colonization beacon in the system roughly 30 minutes later and was listed as the architect for the system, but the colonization ship never showed up. I gave it 12 hours to see if it would show up before I submitted a ticket. While I was disgruntled at the delay, I was still hopeful because of the two statements (quoted above) that you published a day after my ticket was submitted, but the following day the new update went out which wiped out my claim to the system and showed it as unclaimed. The subsequent responses to my ticket from Frontier Support essentially tell me I am SOL because I don't have a valid claim to the system.
Response from FDev support today:
March 3, 8:45 PM (EST)

Well at least there's one positive you can still build in your Hip System but yeah they are keeping very schtum about the pause well actually anything unless it's already posted. You never know when it gets to Frontier unlocked and if at that stage there's still no info more people will be commenting because they'll be more people who've finished systems. It may motivate them to say more

I can't build in my HIP system, because FDev yanked the claim that I had for 53 hours.
The system I do have (OT Serpentis) was claimed for BGS purposes to shore up our minor player factions home system. Because of that, our squadron worked around the clock to get stations built near our home system, and completed a T2-T3 station every single day once Colonization was released. Could I build more at OT Serpentis? Yes. But it isn't a great system, and we are taking a slow approach to building those systems out to maximize BGS participation.
Sorry to hear mate misinterpreted your post and it's good to hear someone is trying to take account of the Bgs. Bgs wise I've heard it's been a wee bit chaotic for my squad. Hope Fdev sort something soon and sorry if I sounded negative the longer this "pause" goes on the more frustrated I get about it, Tbh thinking of getting rid of the mats I got ready to start with, otherwise all I'm gonna do is sit and wait for info that doesn't appear to be forth coming. Hope something/Fdev sorts resolves the issue for you soon
Yes you can, but that would be 787 systems with one outpost per system , you will probably build an outpost in two days so around 4.3 years and you will haul around 15 million tons of materials, so around 20.000 T9 loads not counting the trips back to the bubble in your carrier for more materials and Tritium.
Good luck in your endeavors.
@Paul_Crowther Whilst I have reluctantly accepted that you are unable to give out any information (Barring that there is no information) or imply a timeline for the pause I would like to ask one thing. Is there going to be a "Heads_up" so to speak of when the pause will be lifted before it is. I've been waiting/loitering in a system for a while now and the passing locals appear to be getting suspicious of my intentions.
I know your not able to give out much at the moment but even a one word answer would be appreciated, obviously one of those answers is more favourable to myself lol. I also appreciate that at the moment it is a very busy time for you and the rest of the Fdev team. For what it's worth considering I haven't been able to take part yet it looks good. As I love trucking that won't be a problem for me though have to admit even though I have read up on colonization I still don't get the construction pointing system and how each type of "building" effects the population and economy but I digress.
Have also thought about something that might help on the forums I know from my point of view that I find it incredibly frustrating when there is no reply to a query and you have no idea if it's even been read or not. Maybe put a check Mark on the message so that it shows it's been acknowledged by a Cm. Again only going from my point of view but it would relieve a lot of the frustration of not knowing whether it's been seen especially when the forums are this busy, may even help to combat the appearance that it's just being avoided. Anyways talking about my frustration I'm off to Sacrifice some Survivors in Dead by Daylight to vent said frustration and wait for the "Heads-Up o7 and keep your chin up Cheers Daze
