At the moment there is a problem in the system with continuing construction, yesterday I built the main station, but today I noticed that the task to build the main station appeared again and does not allow me to build anything in the system

Greetings Commanders,

Thank you so much for your feedback and participation in the live Beta for System Colonisation. The response and engagement we have had has been phenomenal and you have progressed in colonising the galaxy at an incredible rate.

So far you have colonised over 8000 systems and completed over 13,000 facilities! In just a few days that is an astounding achievement!

…

What about the CG Megaships coming to support System Colonisation?
We have temporarily delayed these until next week.

Does this mean we will have an extra week to complete the CG and deliver all the planned Megaships?

@PaulCrowther I have room to build 3 stations in my system but I only completed one outpost and one construction platform.. It will not let me build a large station. Since its been paused. Also the game is suspended.

concerningly, I'm no longer the system architect for my system.
I was last night, but am not this morning.

The FAQ says:
Any progress which was made before the pause will have taken effect but may not have been shown on the UI. This is a visual issue and progress will be correctly displayed once our investigations are complete. No progress has been lost.

Does that apply this this instance to? the SC suite isn't working either (as expected if I'm not the architect) so this represents a functional change not just a display issue on the UI.
Just wanting to check if this is expected!

Greetings Commanders,

Thank you so much for your feedback and participation in the live Beta for System Colonisation. The response and engagement we have had has been phenomenal and you have progressed in colonising the galaxy at an incredible rate.

So far you have colonised over 8000 systems and completed over 13,000 facilities! In just a few days that is an astounding achievement!

One of the reasons we launched System Colonisation as a live beta was to test this at scale, which is something very hard to do for us internally. Thanks to your astounding efforts we have received lots of incredibly helpful data and feedback and it has also identified an important issue that needs to be addressed. This issue greatly impacts the ability to claim systems and needs more thorough investigation.

To that end we have made the decision to temporarily disable the Colonisation contact and pause the ability to claim new systems. This will prevent further expansion for the time being but does not impact any of the progress already made. Players that have already claimed systems will still be able to colonise within them.

The development team are working on this as a matter of urgency. As soon as we have more to share we will let you know.

FAQ​

Will there be any more changes following this investigation?
During this live Beta we will be continuing to review data and feedback and make changes where necessary. The live Beta is designed to gather data on scale to ensure we can offer the best outcome.

Will my progress be lost?
No! Any efforts made to colonise the galaxy so far will continue to remain in place and you can continue to focus on building and upgrading your systems. This only affects the ability to claim new areas.

I made a claim but it reset when I logged in, what happens now?
Any progress which was made before the pause will have taken effect but may not have been shown on the UI. This is a visual issue and progress will be correctly displayed once our investigations are complete. No progress has been lost.

Will you be rolling back?
There are no current plans for a roll back.

What about the CG Megaships coming to support System Colonisation?
We have temporarily delayed these until next week.

Will my progress be lost?
No! Any efforts made to colonise the galaxy so far, including any System Architect status', will continue to remain in place and you can continue to focus on building and upgrading your systems. This only affects the ability to claim new areas.

Thanks for the information.
But what happens to a system we have claimed, but the initial station is still in progress? If I fullfill the request from the colonisation ship, the system will be mine?

will the team be looking into reports of rampant cheating and exploiting of colonization? To me it seems rather demotivating to invest time if some can just exploit the system.

I assume you are referring to grabbing another system once the primary one is built. I think this is working as intended as once the station appears in game it's operational, just not fully done yet. You can land and go into the station, all of the contacts are there and active (so if you loiter and get a fine you can pay it off - proof that contacts are intended to be active), and the Apex guy is there. All the other services will be implemented on the next server tick, which is logical seeing that inventories and such over the whole game would be updated at that time, such as the Pioneer tier 2 and 3 suits being available in some places. As far as I know, there has been no cheating.

So, is there any indication of how long this pause might last? Of course I'll have one claim to work on once I complete it, and a second if the status there is reinstated... but I am curious anyway.

I have the feeling they don't really know what's going on.
There's users here that are suffering from resets of their progress each time they log on - that's not an UI issue....

Elite, unfortunately it has affected myself. I'm now not showing as having a system. Any feedback you could give me would be appreciated, as I'm an extremely annoyed CMDR at the moment.

Hey folks,

We've added the following to our FAQ bit:

My system architect status is missing/I can't continue to work on my systems
This issue is currently being investigated and a solution will be available very soon. Once this solution is in place your system architect status and progress will be displayed correctly.

At least acknowledge the exploit and ban the cheaters. This lax view on exploits will drive people from the game.
