How can I find other people's System Colonisation Ships in game?

[AJ24]

As the title says, I'd like to be able to find other colonisation ships in the map. They're potentially very good trading points for players, and I would like to be able to help with nearby efforts.

And on a more immediate/selfish note, I'd like traders to be able to find mine easily.

Can this be done currently?

It would be very helpful for everybody if there was a filter on a galaxy map to show system with current colonisation projects/construction, with a panel that shows what the projects is (initial claim, station/settlement construction) and list of materials still needed to complete. But there is none.

Yep, that's exactly the kind of thing I was looking for - frustrating that it's lacking

If it’s no in game, I’m sure inara will have something soon.

Does the journal contain the required info?

There is a filter in Galaxy Map.

And if you know the system, you can see the commodities required to finish the station.

The System Colonisation Ships are reported in the Docked and FSSSignalDiscovered events, so the part about finding them, yes.
But if you want a list of commodities needed, that information is not being provided by the game. It doesn't feel like FDev has anyone paying attention to the journal.

Simple: search by station name and you can at least get the ones reported to Spansh https://spansh.co.uk/stations/search/68918272-F58E-11EF-9D94-F3F0C263657A/1

Edit: there are currently 1138

Trianguli Sector XZ-O a6-2 if you really wanna help

There should be an "Under Construction" filter in the GMap. But once you find one just honk and enable POI in Nav panel (or Signal source, I forget) it should show up.

By the way, where is Operation Ida? With their help and expertise, everyone's first station could be finished in a week! Give us a hand guys. Help us move them mountains. Thanks!

My GalMap is different:

I see colonisation ship icons on the System Maps too

Ah yes. That'll be what I somehow missed!

And Inara now shows colonisation ships if you add Construction Services to the services filter as well

Yea, steel and titanium are now going to be the bottlenecks for me. Should be a bit easier than cmm composites.
