Hi, I just wanted to do a quick post to express my feedback of the experience so far of colonization. I found it interesting but rough and incomplete in terms of rewards, user interface and overall purpose & experience.
It's also time for the next ship big cargo hauler ship that puts the T9 to shame but fly's better in super cruise with more optimizations. That would also help the experience to be more interesting and an easy arx purchase if the ship was designed in a cool design. Unless changes to rewards occur I can't see my self doing much more of this activity past the rare occasional event.
Thanks for hearing my thoughts! =)
- No control over initial station placement – Getting stuck on the dark side of a planet with no sunlight is frustrating.
- No material tracking – We need a materials list or a pinned mission in the transactions panel to check resource requirements when away from the colonization ship.
- Lack of personal base-building – Building for AI factions is fine, but without player-made factions, personal bases, or meaningful rewards (like item storage, resource refining, customization or meaningful passive income), it feels disappointing.
- No incentives for teamwork – Players should be able to claim systems as a squadron/vanguard, share rewards, and create player-driven missions like hiring friends or npc's to help build.
- Passive income is too low – The earnings are so small that they provide no real benefit.
- UI lacks key info – There’s little to no detail on economy types, structure benefits, or meaningful differences between options.
- No abandon button – Mistakenly placed outposts should have an option to be removed.
