• Year recap, plans and feelings, just go watch it

• Colonization or, we heard you like grinding…

• Making the bubble bigger, or shoot off to colonia 2 - keys to the galaxy

• Purchase a claim from a claim contact - looking at 10LY

• 24h to deploy to claim beacon or it reverts - one at a time

• Select primary star port, it’s pre-positioned, so I think you’re just picking the type of station

• Construction ship, receive materials to build your selected station - largest thing

• Any players can deliver - fill the list - starport goes in limited, on the thursday it will go fully active - Limited time on primary star port and has some infrastructure cost.

• Claim beacon becomes nav beacon and claim contact appears in the new port

• Large undertaking

• You are the system architect, you can’t lose this control of constructions

• Systems vary in what they can do after colonizing them, which can be researched ahead of time

• Systems start with the faction you bought the claim from

• Space stations: system map shows potential locations, choose an appropriate installation that can go there, buy it and summon a construction platform.

• Smaller facilities will need to be built to have enough infrastructure to support building larger ones

• On surface, you can pick the location of the construction, place and orient the future facility

• Ground base construction facility, complete as normal.

• Interconnected system economy, population,

• Planning a beta, early next year

• Apparently the ground construction facilities will stay forever if their stock for building the base isn’t complete.

• One more pre-recorded show for December

• If you think thargoids are coming to an end, watch the socials

• Tactical core chips aren’t needed anymore

• The black paints for Mandalay
