As the System Engineer do you have an overview screen for the System socio/economical situation?

The short answer is no. This is what I see when I click on the system map:

I can see available orbital slots and planetary facility locations, and a very brief summary of the current state at the bottom of the screen. If I click on a facility I can see some basic information about it’s economy type and major imports and exports, but that’s about it.

The My Colonies menu shows a “system score” which is presumably related to some combination of development, wealth, and/or population, and is spectacularly unhelpful:

EDIT: Also, we’re up to 60% - Asteroid base, here we come!

Quick update: I’ve scheduled Fei Lo to jump back to Minerva and put buy orders on for the last batch of resources needed for the asteroid base. I think we’re up to about 75%!

We are now at about 91%.
Ferrying steel form the Fei Lo to the building site.

EDIT: Ok, I’m going for it and carry all the steel from the Fei Lo to the “Hencke’s Pride” Asteroid station building site…

Then there’s just 129 Computer Components to source and it’s ready. :sunglasses:

EDIT 2: All steel has been moved- Computers are all that’s left.

Done!

First to land… probably?

A work in progress still, but it’s a beauty already.

Excellent! I’ll be logging in later to have a look. Has anyone git suggestions for a suitable name? I was thinking of Muddy Hollow?Or possibly Havlok’s Pride, but that seems a little narcissistic :grin:

I had a little look around Havloks Pride this evening - I’ll post some screenshots later. The commodity market is up and running though the bar and concourse are still under deployment. There is a small issue with asteroids clipping through the hangers for a couple of the landing pads. I guess all this will be sorted out on Thursday.

I also took my core miner out for a quick bit of asteroid blasting and struck a musgravite core with my very first prospector limpet! That has literally never happened to me before :smile:. The ring is very pretty with a dense dust layer and lots of crapuscular rays.

Screenies to come …

Screenies as promised:

Surely that asteroid should be OUTSIDE the station!

The concourse is finished, mostly:

Though the shelves need stocking:

It’s a pretty bit of space, that’s for sure.

Havloks Pride is now fully commissioned and spinning, and all errant asteroids have been evacuated! I think we can call that a “job well done” and give ourselves a pat on the back :partying_face: :tada: :laughing:

Thanks for all your help, guys, and feel free to come along and explore what we built! Here’s a couple of screenies just because they’re pretty:

I am going to continue to develop the system but probably a little more slowly. To this end, I have put three more surface construction sites down on moons 12A and 12G. I have put a medium sized port on 12G which I am hoping will pick up on the refinery hub economy and therefore sell composites once completed. I have put agricultural stations on 12A to boost the system’s stats. After these one more surface settlement will provide the necessary build points for a tier 3 starport (eg. Orbis). After that, we’ll see.

Fei Lo has jumped to Klikis where there is a Trailblazer megaship, and I have put some buy orders on for the first of three carrier loads of commodities needed. If anyone wants to help load up it would be appreciated.

Not to mention an answer to the teaser picture they released, are we getting a 1000 plus cargo hauler?
