Trailblazers has landed! To celebrate, we're launching four colonisation-centric ED rewards. This is the first of them! To win one of our 15 $20 prizes, we want you to make a video guide explaining how to colonise in Elite Dangerous. We imagine the best way to go about this in order to maximise your video views is to create a 'how to get started in colonisation' guide, complete with a video walkthrough of the process's key elements.
That said, you might want to consider other angles to distinguish your video from other creators' videos, ideas include: 'ten top tips for colonisation in Elite Dangerous' or 'How to master colonisation, fast'. You're the experts so we'll leave the details up to you. We're looking for videos that are high quality and at least five minutes long.
In your post description, please tag us at the end of your post! We're @JustAbout__ on YouTube, @justaboutcommunity on Instagram, and @justaboutcommunity on TikTok. We'd also love it if you included #Just.
Hit the 'submit to this reward' button just below this description - do not use the reply button unless you just want to comment on the thread, as replies will not be counted as entries!
Share a link to your post in the box that appears, then expand it so we can view the video on Just.
Submissions will be regularly reviewed, and awarded if they meet the brief and are of sufficient quality. Once all prizes have been awarded (or the deadline is met), this reward will close. We may turn the submissions into curated content, and we'll always credit you for your work.

Hi Commander and Justabout:
I gave some important points that are unavoidable in colonization: the system doesn't work, it doesn't produce raw materials, or the stations provide little material. And I explained step by step what to do so you don't miss out on how to colonize.
I hope you like it. It's written in the YouTube video commentary so those who missed it can read it and not watch it again, saving time.

o7 CMDRs.
Colonisation has been out for a couple of weeks already, apologies as real life happened and I couldn't make the video until now. It is my first time making a fully edited video, any feedback is welcome. More videos to come!
Have fun! o7

o7 Commanders!
Colonisation is for a while now. It's not a complicated system but it's worth to introduce new commanders how all this stuff works.

Today, I’m going to walk you through the exciting process of colonizing your very first system in the Trailblazers update for Elite Dangerous. Colonization is your chance to take control of an unclaimed system and shape it however you see fit—well, as much as the game lets you, anyway. I’ll guide you step-by-step on where to kick off the colonization journey, how to make your claim, how to deploy your claim beacon, and, of course, how to lay the foundation for your very own space station. Let’s get this colony started!
