way, way outside the bubble. As far out of the galactiv plane as is feasibly reachable with normalish ships.

The limit at the moment is 15LY. But we could do a chain of small outposts in 15LY steps to get to a distant system to develop further?

Time Zones probably preclude me from getting much involved with any planning, so just treat me as a grunt and tell me ‘where, what and when’.
Meanwhile, I will swap out my collective for the throttle quadrant and convert my Anaconda into a ‘trash hauler’… just give me a couple of days (at least) to get that done and back up to speed. I am very, very rusty.
Love the name ‘Roanoke’ for a colony… very ironic.
And in honour of our ‘founding father’. I propose the name of Frishmuth’s Folly for our first station

I keep logging in and then just logging right back out… I’m so out of touch with the game I’m not sure where or what I wanna do anymore.

I did see someone… maybe here? Pondering the possibility that the new station building features might open up the Formidine Rift which I find to be fascinating… maybe its time for me to relocate out of the core.

Im looking for an excuse to buy a Cutter, This seems like it would be the perfect job for it.
Would like to point out naming stations cost 5k ARX. Which is about 3 GBP. Just an FYI.
Either way, Outpost would be the best way since it seems quickest. Not sure what would make sense after that. Kind of wondering if it would make sense to have one of us build the first system and then have someone do another and just build out and then start helping each other build up each system.
Id be willing to bet with the right combination of stations and outposts in each system we could dang near be self sustaining.
Also wondering if we should wait to see what the final counts for materials will be. Would hate to build and in a month FDEV cuts the requirements in half, but then again they might raise it.

Agree. No need to rush things.

Absolutely agree too.
In other news I collected my first ever fragment of Guardian Blueprints. Now I can unlock the Guardian FSD booster.
Since I’m here I will try to collect a few more, in case I could want more Guardian tech in the next future - but overall my expedition can be considered a full blown success.

As a side note : does anyone have Guardian’s tech weapons? Of Ship Launched Fighters? If so what do you think of them?

This could work. I’m happy to provide carrier support to whoever when needed. Assuming carrier jumps get fixed at some point (they’re still borked 
).

I can’t see myself colonising a system any time soon. Pretty sure I don’t have anywhere near enough credits to even stake a claim.
But I’m more that willing to help out running supplies, etc as required.

I think its 25mil to stake a claim, which isn’t all that bad honestly. Then just paying attention to prices of commodities needed. Assume you get about galactic average for everything and you’ll be good.

OK def have more than that. At least 500-700 mil IIRC. I was sitting on a couple of billion but went on a bit of a spending bender not long before my current hiatus - pimped out Anaconda, Fed Dropship and Alliance Crusader.

Oh that’s interesting- what made you pick the Crusader over the Chieftain?

Can’t remember for sure, might have been for the ability to deploy fighters

Interesting point.
I never used them, even if I have ships that could fit a fighter’s launch bay…

Could easily make a quick Billion on an exobiology adveture.
After I get my cutter, i feel a fed rank grind so I can get a vette.

Hah! I finally managed to schedule a carrier jump, and it’s going to take over an hour! The servers must be really struggling at the moment.
I have moved her to the Changthini system where there is a refinery settlement (Popper’s Folly, I think?) that sells composites and metals cheap and with good supply. I plan to load up the carrier over the next week or so so that once we choose a system to colonise we can move quickly getting the initial outpost built. Any help would be appreciated. I have put buy orders for about 125% galactic average price so anyone who wants to help can make a (small) profit.

Hey man, if tonight - or tomorrow - I can manage to finish collecting Guardians blueprint fragments I promise I’ll bring my T-9 ‘‘Isengard’’ to help the loading of your Carrier.
In case the Refinery settlement doesn’t have a Large pad I’ll prep a secondary transport.
