Why is ABANDONING Construction effort not working?

[attilahell]

I would like to Abandon the construction effort of space station and also Abandon the claim, for me this is a waste of time and a grind that is not worth a second.

And when I try to Abandon both it says cant be done? WHY

Depends, if it is your first station in the system all you have to do is walk away and after so many weeks it will just vanish and the system will be freed up again for someone else to claim, you don't need to press a button to abandon it, just stop doing anything to finish it. If it's not the first station then you are the system architect permanently and the system will stay in an unfinished state unless other players decide to finish it for you. Either way you need do nothing, just walk (fly) away and forget about it!

Because. In Elite: Dangerous, it's Dangerous and you are Dangerously stuck with your mistakes FOREVER!

My first system is a total disaster, I just started building stuff - like ooh, that looks cool and shiny! Oooooh! That looks cooler and shinier!. Then realized it was all wrong. Then realized there were no takebacks. Then said F*!K it and just went off building then most nonsense system ever. And it's turning out to be pretty excellent. So, build what you want, make mistakes and learn for the next system.

I mean, you already have 15 systems bookmarked right??? Or is that just me?

Unless it is for a planned chain or bubble the only reason to have that many systems bookmarked for colonisation is to have plenty of opportunities to complain about sniping.

It's going to be a race with whoever puts down the last of the 95 steps to Veil West.

It's blue without the hairs. What's not to like about it.
