It's Completely Pointless... Please Let it End!

[Cmdr Travers]

What are you planning to do in Tenebrae when (if?) you get there?
Assuming you're the only Cmdr looking in that direction you are going to be the only one building anything there so will likely be stuck in the same position as you are now.

I would like to be able to build out to Tenebrae, home of the Magellan's Star cardinal point, for much of the same reasons as people want to build out to Beagle Point, Sagittarius A*, or anywhere else in the galaxy... because it's there

The greatest irony being that you're the person worth talking to, because you just speak in terms of yourself, what's good or not for you and that you're only speaking for yourself.

The internet, and by extension social media is full of far too many people who believe that what's good for them is what's best for everybody.

I take that as a compliment .

Resources would be needed, so I'd need at least one landable HMC planet. There's nothing here right now unless I head back in the wrong direction or just get way too far from my refinery system, which also means heading in the wrong direction.

What sort of resources do you mean (that your refinery can't produce) and why would this need a HMC rather than any other landable when targeting a high-tech economy?

(And if you're surrounded by other people's colonies already ... have none of them built a decent high-tech station either that you can use instead?)

It's an assumption, based on observation, and in lieu of any actual information from Frontier about how everything works. I assume that manufacturing requires raw materials, and high tech commodities would require metals in the system.

I'm certain there are other commanders who have built high-tech systems in the area I'm in, but that's not really the point is it? I could stay in the bubble if I wanted to hang around other people's systems.

Is the end of the colonisation beta, or changes to it, anywhere in this two year plan?

...and the specs of Panther Clipper, please?

And thus wind up with;

2) Unless you can create a colony that serves a very specific, and much needed purpose, there's little incentive to stay there and further curate it

For myself, I'm just looking at setting up some tritium pumps around the fringes. Unexpectedly it turned out gold, silver, bertandrite and indite are good money spinners...

Not the case at all.

A high-tech economy imports metals, yes. But it doesn't need those metals to be present in the same system - hyperdrives exist, and NPCs are assumed to use them to supply a baseline to every station sufficient to allow it to produce a baseline level of exports.

The ways to get a high-tech economy are documented in-game, in Frontier's patch notes, and in arguably more convenient third party formats as well. I've mentioned the easiest one earlier in this thread, though there are others.

As Ian has articulated in full, why do you think there is "no actual information from Frontier about how everything works?" First post was quite a good criticism of things wrong with Trailblazers but now you're accusing them of not having a new UI and Codex and release notes, when... they do? And you haven't engaged with them. How are you expecting FDev to fix that?

I assume that manufacturing requires raw materials, and high tech commodities would require metals in the system.

The Extraction->Refinery->Industry->High Tech value chain has been in the game since those types of economy were introduced so I don't know why you'd think that even in the absence of specific instruction.

I'm certain there are other commanders who have built high-tech systems in the area I'm in, but that's not really the point is it? I could stay in the bubble if I wanted to hang around other people's systems.

And I could play any number of 4X games in spaaaace if I wanted to will resources into being. Instead I am playing the space-simcade thingy built on Stellar Forge and I am quite happy that Stellar Forge's whims have to be incorporated into one's colonisation strategy.

to get reasonable amounts of HT Products for daisy-chaining, its enough to put an HT Outpost in a Stars orbit, maybe backed up by a Satellite and a Government-Installation. Thats all. Done that several times.
Anything else (especcially Ind / Ref) in the system just consumes stuff from the HT Market and diminishes the variety of goods by week-links. Keep your systems one eco only!

I think we're done here.
