Well that's made me slightly more optimistic, my happiness level has gone up by 20 percent
Come on, I think they will turn it back on. 7 days now I think its been off.Well that's made me slightly more optimistic, my happiness level has gone up by 20 percent
Okay ok as we're now negotiating I will consider raising my happiness level by another 20 percent but I will go no higher to avoid disappointment on the chance it doesn't happen lol 40% happiness level is now closed. If this does turn our out to be the point that is turned on they could have replied in a less ambiguous way and still not get too many people's hopes up, but hey I shall remain positive
I get that I started out looking for named systems but after jumping around for a few days found a perfect system by accident. Those named systems where bound to be popular, whilst on my travels if I find any interesting ones I'll throw them your way. Remembering my systems name will prove difficult however it's nearly a full line long
lol
I could see them turning on the colonizer support megaships from the CG. They did say they’d come out a week after its completion (in the original post).
Won’t be so hopeful as to expect they’ll re-enable claims yet unless they were rather quick about that investigation and/or getting a fix in.

I wouldn't mind a bit of a clue. is that so much to ask.?
ie this update ISNT related to the colonisation pause
or
hopefully this update will allow us to enable colonisation
or even..... we haven't ruled out re enabling colonisation but we are unsure yet it depends how the update goes.

This exactly, don't mind waiting if we have even a vague idea of what's going on. At present Frontier seem determined to keep anything to do with the pause to themselves even to the point they don't even seem to acknowledge any posts enquiring about it. Tbh it's infuriating it's like they have no ability to multitask sometimes, they seem to take two steps forward and then three steps back or in this case 15.99 Light Years back. Come on Frontier just give us a morsel of info I'm sure for the most part Cmdr's will be able to handle it....
Nearly at a milestone only ten off (unless anyone posts whilst I'm typing this) five hundred replies and for my part still have no idea what is going on in relation to the Big Pause. Could just be me but the more I think about it the more I just think this update tomorrow is going to bring in the megaships. Will try to remain optimistic but in light of the fact there is no information flowing in this direction it's quite difficult, though Cmdr Wingbacon did instill a little positivity in me so hopefully it lasts lol o7 and out
No.
I personally wouldn’t expect it until they have watched how the fix works for a bit, then they might restart their schedule for expanding the mechanic to locations outside the bubble.
Just reread the message from FDev which doesn’t mention anything about an update just that the weekly maintenance will possibly take up to 3 hours due to how busy the architects have been.
Presumably there are 10s of thousands of new facilities to connect and synchronise with the BGS, PP and so on.
Hey don't get rid of my last bit of optimism lol
And always with malicious intent.And at the last outpost someone snipes the system away from him
To those thinking that the extended maintenance will turn the feature back on... Damn guys, I really do hope you're right, but then why don't they just tell us?
After all, there's no way they can't tell just my posts here, X, Steam and elsewhere, that everyone is eager for it.
Why wouldn't they just say "Tomorrow's maintenance will take longer, because we are planning to turn back on the colonization feature."?
If I'd have to guess, what they are doing tomorrow is a part of the fix and only after implemented, will they decide to turn it back, but not right after.

How do mate Tbh who knows well yeah obviously Fdev do but communication on this topic appears to be Top Secret I'm hoping that it will get turned back on but the more I think about it the less likely I think it is to happen. As you've said purely because they've said nothing about it all in fact to myself it appears that they've been doing they're best to avoid it. As with yourself have posted in various places and I did get one reply on X which basically said when they're is News we will tell you which basically means nothing. So yeah fingers crossed but........
Oh well. I experienced these problems too. And since this is a Beta, I am not too troubled or nonplussed about it.
"Number 2" happens to the best of intentions. FD has done worst in some of their Elite Dangerous Upgrades, one in particular required a rollback. This is not going to happen here thank goodness.
I am sure this will be resolved too. In the meantime, I will continue construction of a large primary starport in my claimed system.
BTW, thanks for restoring the materials in lockers on settlements to be looted.

I built my outpost to test out the mechanic. it's insanely boring and falls way short of the kind of personalization I'd like to see in what amounts to the closest thing elite's had to base building.
Allow 200ly colonies. Eliminate multi-faction representation in such systems until other systems containing other factions get within 20ly, in which case bgs activtiies will occur between any in range systems and operate as a new mini-bubble.
custom color schemes with station "kit" packs that can be applied to the various types of stations.
Allow 1st station to have its location chosen
Allow System names to be purchased and set by the player.
Allow large pads on outposts only available to the architect.
All stations in the system will address the architect in some unique salutary greeting and automatically give you a landing pad without having to ask once in range.
The architect can set a tax on all goods in the system so long as it isn't an anarchy system
Additional new layout type stations should be added that are unique to player colonized systems.
Allow system architects to create system local news
create a colonization tile on the right hud. put / copy colonization info to this screen. Make each item that's needed able to be clicked to show the nearest systems that export that item (bonus if it filters on if the systems have the required stock) Allow navigation to a selected system directly from this menu using the existing nav route settings.
Allow architect role to be sold auction by the player on a auction page available to all players. Highest bidder by the end of the tick wins. Once put up for auction it can't be retracted. If no bidder wins the user's set min, it remains theirs. The user can set a min of 1 credit up to however much they want.
And for the love of everything that makes a game a game ... Make additional gameplay loops able to contribute to colonization. Add escorting. Add pirating nearby megaships by disabling them and forcing them to transfer all their cargo to the colonization ship...whatever. Anything besides this monotonous repeating space trucking garbage. Even the mindless stare-at-a-rock exobiology mechanic would be less soul sucking than space trucking. The only thing worse would be exploration.

...then it is clear what will excite you the most - the search for Raxxla.
That's as far as my optimism goes
