I don't have a cargo rack, no limpets (cargo scoop only), no fuel scoop, no limpet controller, no vehicle hanger. Just weapons, shields and hull reinforcement. You need to lean up that ship.

I decided to travel around a bit and check how colonization is going. The biggest rush seems to be towards big nebulas about 1-2k light years away from the bubble. In two months, commanders have just about reached Barnard's Loop, which is about 1,5k out. There is just about another bubble on the way there with hundreds of systems.
The views of the area are of course spectacular, as there are numerous big nebulas around, namely Barnard's Loop, Flame Nebula, Horsehead, Running Man, Orion, etc. And of course many obstacles as much of the area is locked or difficult to navigate. Trying to pick a system to colonize myself!

Eeeeww, cargo scoop? What do you think this is? The dark ages?
I get what you mean though. I use the Krait for combat but it's not a pure combat ship. I aim to get a ship around 80 to 90% of where I intend it to be for a particular playstyle but I like to keep them as least slightly multirole.
Part of the reason I was screwing around is because I was considering turning on him, but I was looking at the speed of damage and thought 'Nah'. This time anyway. I'm just intrigued with the idea of having to evade people upon re-entering Shinrarta at this point. I've not been in open much since Cocijo.
I meant to quote this. I think it's a really cool thing what they're doing.
If you pick up cargo, you will be attacked, sometimes with no warning. Cargo scoops aren't so bad, it takes a little more skill, I only grab mats anyway. I will pick a fight with 50% shields and less on my hull, it's a great adrenaline rush.
I'm rubbish at it though. I'd spend most of the time smashing mats on my hull.If you pick up cargo, you will be attacked, sometimes with no warning.

This makes me wonder how - or if - Colonial is expanding.
And, of course, there's DW3 coming along.
At this rate, the Milky Way will soon be completely colonised and we'll need to seek other galaxies to infest.

Hi
I'll be interested to know or find out eventually whether any of those locked off systems (Col 70 Sectors etc.) will be unlocked when players get near there. There's quite a few systems in those Col 70 areas that haven't even been explored / discovered yet.
Those permit locked systems were obviously put aside for some future gameplay. I just wonder whether it was one new feature of gameplay or perhaps several in mind. Either that or they've just been locked to give Frontier some 'options' for future gameplay that even they're not sure of yet.
Okay, what am I doing?....Still mining, when I get to about 500t of Platinum I'll be heading back to take part in that CG. presuming it's still active when I get back! ...I aim to get back into the bubble in the next few days though, I enjoy mining to a certain degree but when I start to get distracted easily I know it's time to give it a rest and do something different in the game, before I go crazy! 
.
I haven't given Colonisation any more thought at the moment, from what I can glean from reading the forum the feature still isn't working as intended, some players seem to be ploughing ahead with it while others (like myself) are temporarily giving it a miss for various reasons. I've mentioned it before but in my personal experience it's made the Galmap very confusing now and difficult to navigate, with the amount of inhabited systems in the bubble that's sprung up. It just seems for want of a better word, 'cluttered'.

Lei Gong is from Chinese mythology - not any particular religion, he's older than Tao. The "Gong" in this context is usually translated as "duke" or "lord." The same figure is sometimes called Lei Kung. See also multiple spellings of kung fu / kungfu (which just means "really very good at..." and in the martial context that's somehow become "really very good at doing that weird Chinese fighting style")
The confusion arises because the (ancient) Chinese love compound words like the Germans do and when you write down two ideograms which mean "Thunder Lord," over time people just go "oh ok, these two characters together are basically a word then" in the same way English speakers might eventually make that "thunderlord" if we said it a lot to refer to one concept.
As for "what are you up to..." I'm enjoying my new ultrawide immensely. However liveries and the odd texture keep disappearing at odd moments now. With a bit of experimentation last night I noted that my frame rate on the surface is directly correlated with supersampling regardless of what all the other quality settings are on, which means the problem now is my 1060 just can't push pixels fast enough. I had a feeling that might happen... good job the screen was a lot cheaper than expected, got some left over to fix the new bottleneck...
Also can't work out if the bacteria is gonna be on the green stuff or the white stuff!

Yes. By the time I've finished my second orbital outpost and a surface science outpost I'll be sick of the T9 and want something with more cargo space and a nicer cockpit before I consider hauling for any more new stations.
Other than the satisfaction of building something, I'm not sure what game play contribution more colonised systems and stations makes. Especially considering my player faction cannot escape the confines of the bubble to colonise anywhere in their name.
Yeah. A 1060 6GB and an ultrawide display don't usually collocate well. I found I even had to run FSR to get high framerates on a 3070 Ti with mine.
It can.
If you're in a squadron aligned to a minor faction, the faction tags along for the ride when you make a claim. You can then flip the new colony to your faction and start staking claims to new systems from the station.
I'm currently playing Starfield. I CBA with the pure hauling any longer.
Seen plenty of red planets, but this one might be the reddest. A bit darker up here but in the valleys it was pretty blinding.
Good bio payout, though. As well as this osseus spiralis there were frutexa flamesis hiding in the hills, plus some cheaper stratum and cactoida - about cr100m all told.
Bacteria will be on the one that provides the least contrast, unless it isn’t.
I often find that the white stuff is pretty much the same as the coloured stuff by the time you get there with the colour shift being a distance thing.
Hiding, often in plain sight, is a feature of Frutexa Flamesis.
The Winters side of the CG has already reached tier 4 of 5, but with 56% of the total platinum still needed it might last well into the last week.Hi

But other heavily loaded FC owners might be more cautious and deliver a big haul early just to be sure.
Oh wow. I had no idea. Thank you!
My first colonisation was done with an alt account that is not a member of my player faction.
There is no range limit for this someone with a Squadron linked to a Colonia faction has colonised a system from the bubble and the Colonia faction claimed the Squadron spot in the new system, third of the four.
