Although you're not going to see mega populations such as those present in core systems, populations on currently inhabited systems in the Colonia region can and *will* increase over time.



The Colonia region is *fully* connected to the background simulation; it's an ongoing enterprise that started small, but as it grows, expect it to slowly transform. Click to expand...

Can I ask a few questions about the BGS.So currently The Truckers have got Fort Mug, and since the patch landed we pushed them up to 80% already and there is a boom state but no mission board and no passengers. There is a healthy commodity market there through with painite currently, but colony economy doesn't buy or sell much. No shipyard, pitiful outfitting.So do Colony types change into different economy types? Can we expect a RNG roll to select that? Is there any way we can improve the base to make it improve with a shipyard? Can we get the mission board and passenger board fixed?With expansion can we expect the system to grow in size? I assume it was easy because there is little pressure at the moment as the BGS had to run it's Game of Life sequence and pick the next square to move to. I expect Colonia region will see a lot of border skirmishes in the next few months with factions setting their boundaries. I expect Colonia itself will be hotly contested. It's going to be a bloodbath, and I love itAlso can we have a new weekly CG to get engineers out here. Tier 3 should guarantee the engineer with some basic level 1-3 mods. Tier 8 means they get level 5 mods. Maybe 3-4 engineers could be supported out here just now (I have a nice system for onceQOL request - can we *please* separate Black Holes and Neutron Stars now in the filtering. With the high use of neutron stars it would make sense now. Also could there be a way to chain a query, like add in a systems visited filter while also having a star classification filter? Maybe one for Dav to answer if it's feasible on the database?Honestly I'm loving it out here - feels like ED back when we were doing the beta, that small bubble of systems that gradually grew and everything still seemed so grand. I expect people will realise this and we'll see a gold rush soon, lots of opportunities out here
