13'000 CMM Composites , not sure there is that many in the galaxy.

There isn't

 

[Ozric]

I wonder if we could end up making enough to negate the fleet carrier maintenance cost...

Zulu Romeo enterprises. I can see the empire now

 

[Hireed]

Other than CMM Composites, what's wrong with the reqs?

They are HUGE! And what is the benefit? It is completely unclear. And most importantly, why can't I regulate the visits to my stations considering how much time I need to build them. In short, so far everything looks very unpleasant.

Trader with a T9 or Clipper, even a Corvette kitted for trading can move most of those reqs no problem in a very short amount of time.

Was fixed, just tried. And the bartender sales seem to work as well again

I just tried as well managed to move loads of assets and goods over to carrier and back.
only ones that would not transfer for me was data but that was only half full on ship anyways

Yeah, CMM composites availability is going to be a big blocker.

Wow, I see now the system architect will receive income from his/her systems, plus discounts on ships and equipment. That is new. Originally there was no specific reward proposed as far as I remember, other than sandbox impact and steering the colonized system economy to your advantage.

Also as far as I know originally there was no clear indication that we could have our own squadron BGS faction in there by default at start. So that is another tangible benefit.

 

[Cmdr Sylveste]

I wonder how many have spent the last few days hauling CMM Composites to a largely meaningless CG?

Yeah thats an interesting update, if it stays that way may need to start collecting resources to claim a system later once the expansion has progressed outwards

Not meaningless if the megaships (one per tier) that will be constructed will carry everything - including CMM Composites.

Not that I'm complaining but I can see how some people will baulk at the build reqs.
An orbis build needs 238,676 tons of materials (I added up the mats list from a post on page 4 above). For any solo player (sans fleet carrier or squadron to help) that's a lot of grind. I run a shieldless T9 for cargo runs (called bullseye btw ) with 786ton cargo capacity, so that'd be 303 trips assuming full cargo on each run from supply station to station construction. Easy to share that amongst a squadron but hell of a lot of runs for solo player. I'm v.close to top 10 in current CG having hauled 90k tons so far in my T9 in just over a week so used to heavy haulin - but very repetitive. The CMM composites may be the toughest part though. Inara shows highest spawn is 178 in LP292 sector so to gather 11000 of these is 62 runs alone for any solo player unless the task is shared by a squad and a FC to do the heavy haulin.

EDIT: tho reading the post above, would have to figure the megaship use and how that works to lighten the load. I'm still waiting for the update to download

 

[Deltafus]

The devs said that there will be mega ship already there to help, where they are

True, will be a grind, FC will help a lot. The CMM Composite is brutal. Hope those new supply ships from the CG are meant to help with that.

Hi folks, we're aware of the CMM Composites discussion and this is being reviewed.

[l1nk-dna]

Component refinery required, mix mats/ore input = CMM Comps etc out , thnx

 

[Mastadon623]

Does FDEV have a timeline for re-enabling escape pod rescues and rare commodity trading for merits? It's been disable for three months now and I would very much like to engage in those gameplay loops for merits. It would help add some variety and spice to my PowerPlay loops.

Thanks!

 

[selbie]

So are all previously inhabited systems supposed to have a Colonisation Rep present? or are they only located within the bubble for now?

 

[Mersozz]

Definitely a good idea to check each avaiable project before you choose what to build. The amount of materials will vary depending on what you decide to build, and the difference is very significant.

 

[CMDR_Raikkonen]

Players should be able to get a mortgage on resources to build.

Allow them to be built with BGS ships doing the work, and then generous benefactors take a cut of a any profits going forward lol!
