Hi there, 1st post.
Back in elite for a few months, i forgot how great that game was and recently it evolved so much, i hope it stays for a long long time !
Regarding colonies though i think there's a big missed opportunity with the populating aspect of the systems.
How about having to transport population to settlements and stations, including factions representatives from the system you're expanding from and also all the contacts there ?
Those would need high class cabins while working population could be transported like cattle in low class cabins
Until you do those services would be unavailable and until you have completely populated the system it would not reach it's full economic potential.
Today you build an outpost and the day after there are contacts in it and thousands of settlers in the system, missions and economy running wild, that's absurd and like i said IMO a missed opportunity for more diverse passenger missions and passenger ships alltogether.
Thanks for reading and sorry if this has already been suggested somewhere.
