While I welcome the option offered to players to singlehandedly build their own systems, I still believe it should be only accessible to the most motivated ones, requiring a lot of effort and dedication to achieve it.
The games has all the mechanics and motivational reasons to team up on a global effort: squadrons to organize efficiently the effort, PowerPlay to then acquire the new systems within the Power. And more to come hopefully
I see your point, and I would agree—if the feature were actually designed that way.
You only have one architect per system, which doesn’t feel very "squadron-like" to me. If it were truly intended for squadrons/groups, they should have locked it behind squadron/group/vanguard mechanics.
I assume the passive income will go solely to the architect, which again doesn’t seem very collaborative. From what I’ve seen, the only one benefiting from colonising a system is the architect. If that remains limited to a single person, then collaborative colonisation is nothing more than charity work—there’s no real reward for anyone else.
Perhaps with the introduction of Vanguards, your point would make more sense. But for now, we can only judge it by how it currently works in the game.
As it stands, the feature feels conflicted and unsure of what it’s trying to be.
. I'll hand over my account to you and you can play it for me if you'd like.
for an outpost? I'm afraid you're lost in the sauce my friend. People have got jobs and things to do outside playing this game.
. Nonsense take.
