Where Are The Colonization Ships Going?

[Ralph Vargr]

A lot depends on where Frontier thinks the "edge" of the bubble is.

I'm guessing one on the way to the Pleiades, one on the Colonia Highway, and maybe one towards the Coal Sack. That leaves two.

@Ian Doncaster chime in, please.

I don't have any more info on this than you do. But in terms of wild guesses ... "Five" is a difficult number to arrange symmetrically.

Unless they want to put some further into deep space to be new colonisation centres, I'd guess one of:
- a pentagon parallel to the galactic plane around the centre of the bubble
- a triangle parallel to the galactic plane around the centre of the bubble, then one at the top and one at the bottom
- a square NE, NW, SE, SW - and then the spare could go in the Pleiades
- LYR conveniently funds a sixth one and they go in the cardinal directions outward from Sol

They will be placed wherever FD decide to place them.

I'm thinking the square.

Yes, far from me.

 

[GroG79]

Yes, far from me.

You do not need one. You are retired

I have to drive 72 km (one way) to get anything accomplished with the State Of Missouri. That's nearly a full-time job in itself.

 

[aRJay]

Two in the bubble, one each in Colonia, Coalsack and WitchHead, maybe once things get opened up.

Why not the pipe nebula.... we arrived today!

Looks like I wasn't far off with "add a sixth bonus one", though I had my guess a little rotated from what they went with.

HIP 90578 (NW)
Orgen (NE)
Bletii (SE)
34 Omicron Cephei (SW)
Klikis (NE high)
Ngobe (S low)

Special hybrid economies (classed as "Service", though not resembling standard Service economies) selling all construction requirements at high volumes, including Emergency Power Cells, and also both Insulating Membrane and CMM Composite.

Interesting drop pattern. They are not as far out as I thought they might be.

Good News: Klikis is 43 LY away. Bad news: it already has 25 fleet carriers hovering over it...

That means the settlements and ports the FCs used to raid are now free to regenerate. They won't be able to pillage both the megaships and settlements/ports.

That's the hope.

 

[Ralph Vargr]

Arrived at Trailblazer Promise in Klikis.

Boy, is it stocked. The FC's have not drained it down.

You cannot bookmark this megaship. I think they will move her next week, perhaps.

You cannot disembark. You can use outfitting and repair, as well as refuel.

 

[Radiculeous]

Just arrived in Klikis system, but don't see Promise anywhere. Am I missing something or is a bug?
I was just in Orgen and stocked up at Song. Only left as I was continuously attacked by power play patrols.

answered my question... scanning the system first would help
