Hello, let me introduce you to my colonized system. I hope you like it. I'm going to show you military, communications, and agricultural facilities, as well as a large space base that I just started. I hope you like it. Hello, let me introduce you to my colonized system.

Larger than a Drake-Class Carrier, Colonisation ships are mindblowing in person.
I made sure to include some of those Trailblazing ship trails of my own in this shot. :)


Thanks to Frontier Developments for featuring this screenshot on last weeks #StellarScreenshots highlights!

Very few feelings in a video game compare to knowing you've made a lasting mark on the universe. With that in mind, it's hard not to feel like the Trailblazers update has truly expanded on that potential in Elite: Dangerous.

My new scientific base, it's mission: to investigate the star's fluctuations and analyze anomalies. This is expected to provide a better understanding of this unstable star for the Federation.

Guest Hub served as a springboard for the colonization of another system.

This system is not nice and is not meant to be, pirates will be up to mischief here and an anarchy faction will be in charge once the system is built.

The perfect place for bounties.

I haven't finish my primary port because I'm busy with my exams recently. But I found this treasure system at the border of the bubble. It has many gas giants and landable moons.

Moreover, the colonisation ship automatically choose the most beautiful moon as the primary port location. It is a moon with a pretty green atmosphere and several bio samples. I'm defintely going to build a surface port on it!

o7 Commanders!
Trailblazers hit us with a lot of new content, but also a decent amount of bugs, like these 2 colonisation beacons where there should be only 1 πŸ˜…

But also a new huge Colonisation Ship, which is approximately 2-3 times larger than the Fleet Carrier, with twice as much landing pads on both sides!

With a new megaship, I've also decided to make something new, the Constructor, a new Imperial Cutter in my fleet that is a cargo ship, which I was using to build, together with friends, my first starport (with default name atm, I have limited ARX and I need to be very careful with giving it a name πŸ˜…).

I would love to have shared a beautiful trailblazers screenshot, however my choice of system and the position of my newly constructed pirate outpost doesnt lend itself to spectacular sunrises unfortunately.

My station, recently renamed to the more appropriate Black Outpost, is in perpetual darkness, stuck in the shadow of the single planet in the system. I'm planning on marketing it as a must see destination for all goth and wanna be vampire pirates. Its gonna be a goldmine!

I decided to give this colonisation thing a go and I picked COL 285 SECTOR KK-B B15-5 to colonise:

I had to buy and outfit a Type 9 so I could haul a bunch of goods and hopefully build my first station.

"I present to you the solitude inside an under deployment outpost. This is Biggle Terminal, in system Hydrae Sector SD-T b3, which I am the architect under L&L Company. From cargo to undertaking colonisation to expand the galaxy! Also some pics of the first settlements: Laffey Extraction Enterprise and Boldyr Hydroponics Exchange, both already operational! Now all the efforts are around the system Space Farm: Amaldi Vista. hope to see you CMDRs at the system, Biggle Terminal will be operational on Thursday March 4th 3311. Fly Safe! o7"

After cutting off a complete mountain peak we can safely build our new mining site out of reach of any other than airborne attacks...

Fun fact: When the station was finished within some hours and setup by the system, there were also some Exo-Bio plants placed on the platform. They grow pretty fast... πŸ˜‚

My colonization efforts are between helping my Brazilian community and also my CANONN group and also my own interests and those of my friends.

In this photo I share is of my front line for large-scale operations, great Cutter. And for small resources I'm using a T-8 and after all the effort, a photo of a station from a friend system, a Coriolis X.

I liked the update, and I think the new game feature has brought more life and play options for the game. I've claimed one system, and I'm building my system infrastructure right now. The material acquisition process can be tricky for some materials, but the great views of Elite Dangerous Galaxy are always refreshing. Here are some pictures of my hauling process, picking materials into one surface outpost and delivering them in my system colonization ship:

Greetings from Verne Platform in UGPS 0722-05, a system shrouded in perpetual darkness! We have a significant amount of work here: we're constructing the Tier 3 planetary port, Aphrodite. We invite all commanders who wish to earn credits to participate! But don't forget your flashlights, visibility here is almost nil!
