I just had this happen to me and I must say its a terrible design from the devs. It is really worse than It thought with us literally just copy pasting dev tools that have no custom functionality for the colonization aspect. Super lame and disappointing but expected. The more I dig into the colonization aspect the more shallow I see it is.

Are you seriously surprised? Nothing in ED has ever had depth.

Well, at least Colonization is something; The game was a mile wide and an inch deep, now it's an inch deep and a mile wide.

For some reason there's no landing pad so I touch down at the side. I get a fine for trespassing, then a bounty, attacked by the system authorities
I'm now wanted in my own system by my own authorities for daring to take a look at the base I just spent two days building

Just because you commissioned the building doesn't mean you own it. It's owned by Brewer Corporation.

And even if you did own the building that still doesn't put you above the law!

Nah, the game does have depth. The thing is that much of that depth is hidden below the surface, and you have to go your way to find it. The game doesn't spoon-feed you its contents.

They were fine with me sourcing and shipping all the parts down there, choosing the placement and facility name.

Then once it's complete the big blue text on the screen says ' please depart and return later'

I do exactly this I get attacked. Does that make sense to you?

I think colonisation has highlighted just how much depth there is working in the background.

This is not worth arguing. Some people are just never satisfied.

Yes like many other things it is a trap.

Despite the general lack of decay and dereliction, even though we have all these high tech toys Elite Dangerous is pretty much a dystopia the sort of place they would blow up a billion credit passenger liner for parking and traffic violations.

Perhaps they wanted to test that you hadn’t short changed them on the security features.
