So how will the bubble end up?

[geoffrey.hdt]

Did FDev mention of, at some point, other players will be able to build in a system already claimed/built by an architect?
Like, a request would be sent to the architect to allow or not, and automatically gets approved if no response received within X days? That would solve the issue of poor systems with only one outpost.

Just an honest question here, after seeing a lot of comments about peoples choices of their Home system.
I seen multiple people and groups saying they are building towards their main system. So my question goes.

How will this leave the bubble? I mean if people build one outpost to just be able to get to the next system and in the long run finally get to the system of choice. How can this in anyway be good for the bubble if there is highways after highways of systems with 1 outpost?
I dont think this was how they intended it to end up. But I fear thats how it's gonna be... Hundreds of systems left behind, blocking for others in the long run.

Is this why the range of 16LY was a bad move? And again us out here in the deep black (colonia) cant expand.
But looking at the starmap now its like hundreds of systems ocupied, I just wonder how many of these are actually places people want to be? Or is it like highways to peoples favorite choice of Home system?

I don't think this will be the issue. Daisy chaining will be there of course. But I think more popular will be to building mini-empires.
I mean, it's much cooler to see your colonized systems sort of like stellaris map and build mini-economies

As I alluded to above, I foresee lots of systems being claimed just to hold them. The cost per month is trivial. For mini-empire building purposes. And to control who builds beside them.

No, IIRC they said the architect role is permanent and non transferable.
