ALL OF YOU COLONIZERS IN THE THREAD, POST THE POPULATION OF YOUR MOST POPULOUS SYSTEM RIGHT NOWMy most populous is 46 million, I'm working on a lot of systems right now.

Is there a way to tell which powers are involved in a Conflict Zone before entering it? The only contested system for my power has like 8 other powers in it

I want to set up a colony just to have a place to call home, but I'm having a damn hard time deciding where to put it. None of the third party tools make it easy to find a candidate, spansh has nearly every filter you need but it isn't easy to find systems that contain at least one ring

Anon01/07/26, 16:52No.2172905

Thought about getting involved in that Powerplay thing, but I am bored to tears of conflict zones and don't see a point given the statistical realities.

does anyone knows where i can get ship models to tinker in blender? i know there are stl models for printing but they lack textures

Anon01/08/26, 14:27No.2174670

From reading the guides I know I want both a surface and an orbital refinery to source materials I kind of want to build the orbital as an Asteroid Base (they're cool), but if I have it right I'll miss out on the 140% base refinery strength (and 140% industrial) from orbiting a Rocky Ice World. My question is, how bad is this hit going to be? I'm only going to use it to build up the rest of the system, not make a mini-bubble, and I'm willing to take a small hit for the asteroid aesthetic Pic related, Coriolis on top, Asteroid on bottom

Anyone have RES show up in their colony? I've got some rocky rings but so far no RES

Anon01/12/26, 21:50No.2182089

Yeah I have a bunch in multiple different systems. Pretty sure I've had them appear right after finishing the primary port, but if not the Thursday tick might gen them.

Anon01/13/26, 01:17No.2182364

Did the CG for like 2 hours while listening to podcasts on youtube.Comfy but I think I'll shelf this game for now.

Anon01/13/26, 15:52No.2183328

So how badly did colonization fuck up the immersion? Hundreds of dead systems around the bubble, I assume

Anon01/13/26, 15:53No.2183335

Is there/will there ever be an alternative to this game? And No, Fag's Sky is not alternative.

If Elite Dangerous is going to go forward and Frontier is serious about utilizing it, it needs to be fixed so it's far more user-friendly. May genuinely be time to sunset it and make a new game.

Man, the rank progression is just fucked.My chief activity is chilling around the Pleiades killing Interceptors to earn the weekly ARX quota and yet I haven't advanced more than 20% towards Combat Elite I. Meanwhile, I only do some token participation in shipping CGs and yet, voilá.

Anon01/15/26, 23:32No.2187502

Is this the best space game ever or what.

Anon01/16/26, 15:16No.2188421

It gets increasingly cringe and irritating how a group of people LARPing on Discord are treated as though they're the official game-influencing word when it comes to things being official within Elite.

I paid 0 attention to the stupid powerplay war because I knew my power was gonna get raped

I have 1000 hours in this game and never bought an anaconda. Medium ships are better for exploration and have more fun in combat.The corvette Blasts everything way better.

Basilisks now eating shit on the regular. Slowly building up enough mistaken self-confidence to think I can take on a Medusa. Gotta polish up my decidedly suboptimal shielded-joust technique first though.

Remember guys, you aren't allowed to engage in Powerplay because some people on a private Discord channel who call themselves the leaders of Powerplay decided Powerplay is on hold until Distant Worlds is done.

Tell me something If Frontier somehow dies, will someone realistically be able to run a server of their own and simulate whatever background data necessary
