Why not automatically assign a faction based on the name of the colonized system architect’s squadron ?

Votre escadron peut s'aligner sur la faction que vous avez choisie, qui sera placée comme 3ème faction dans le système que vous concevez.
Comme le contrat de construction est acheté auprès d'une faction, celle-ci contrôlera le système.
Après tout, le rôle de l'architecte est simplement celui d'un concepteur et d'un transporteur, et non celui d'un propriétaire.

No, we pay for the system and then we pay for the components.

That's not how the system works currently, because squadrons are not factions. There are Player Minor Factions though. Maybe the Vanguards update enables such things.




What OP wants is when he colonizes a system that a Player Minor Faction of his choice inhabits the system.

exactly, even if it is the 4th least influential faction

You get paid for the commodities delivered so you’re not paying for them.

No, we pay for the system and then we pay for the components.

And you don't pay for the system. You pay for exclusive development of that system, for its occupants.

No, we pay for the system and then we pay for the components.

You pay for the contract to develop the system (and the faction that contract was bought from will be the controlling faction in the newly built system)
Commodities are delivered and sold, at greater than Galactic average, to the construction facility.
By the time the first asset is built the contract price is normally recovered.

Have you built anything, or just assuming?
