Just made a new system colonization claim.

2026-09-21T04:08:07Z CMDR Snake Man 6th, Snake Sector UT-R b4-0, military outpost - nemesis:

This one is direct cargo ship hauling operation, only 11.49LY distance from my wannabe fleet carrier loading hub 1, plan is to use PMC Trader 22 (Panther Clipper MK2) for this direct cargo hauling.

Will be paying 20k/ton credits profit for anyone who wants to join the cargo transporting operation, its 21,850 tons total to deliver.

This construction took a while longer, yesterday hit a hard wall of burnout/boredom, had to end playing only like half way through the day to just chill and recover for later date. Today managed to continue cargo hauling but it was a bad struggle man, it really was, I am so burnt out for cargo hauling that now dunno what to do with further colonization projects, maybe this passes but I doubt it as I've been playing non stop 17hrs/day since was it june 28th just day or two prior to elite operations update release, coming to a full three months in few days.

But yeah got the cargo hauling done and orbital outpost construction was finished.

See inara Snake Sector UT-R b4-0 star system and Sargent Point station.

If any cargo hauler wants to make hundreds of millions probably billions of credits, reply here or contact me in-game, I got plenty of cargo hauling to do for good profits.

Yesterday made another system colonization claim, was too busy to post a reply here with all the info, now the construction of orbital outpost is complete and got plenty of time again to post replies :P

Logged into ravencolonial using frontier developments authentication server thingy, generally I don't like to register into gazillion websites but ravencolonial combined with srv survey tool is very good setup to plan and keep track of your system colonization efforts, its extremely precise and helpful when it comes to tracking commodities already delivered and where you could buy them in nearby systems, I really like that. Will be using ravencolonial and srv survey in the future colonization efforts most definitely.

Oh yeah and took one day off from elite, then did some stupid space ship combat a bit, so now my cargo hauling burnout has eased a bit, with those new tools in play with system colonization it actually feels interesting again, hopefully that lasts for several system claims.

Plan now is to do a lot more system colonization claims, but it all depends if my elite burnout strikes back with a vengeance, lets hope not because I wanna claim some PMC colonies.

Today made a new system colonization claim.

And some community website details about it.

EDSM: Snake Sector FW-W d1-101

Inara: Macgregor Silo

Raven Colonial: Snake Sector FW-W d1-101

This construction was direct cargo hauling with PMC Trader 24 (Panther Clipper MK2), brand new just bought it hmm was it day before yesterday or something anyways just recently, then engineered it to grade 5 specs, light weight sensors, power distributor engine focused stripped down and power plant just grade 1 stripped down and of course frame shift drive increased FSD range and mass manager. She is quite go-getter this one ;)

Sourced all the raw materials for this orbital outpost construction using ravencolonial shopping cart feature, it worked very well even though some of the data age was from year ago (real scary).

Overall this construction was really nice cargo hauling wise. It bums me out that the system is empty, this is just a "bridge" build towards other destination which will be revealed hmm maybe next week.

This means I will be hauling a lot of cargo, so if you want to make hundreds of millions of credits perhaps even over billion credits, get in touch with me either by replying here or trying to contact me in-game (which is quite difficult), and I can hook you up with some good cargo hauling deals.

Yesterday I started my second system colonization claim for the same day, it was primary port orbital outpost so same 21,835 tons of cargo to haul, to my amazement I managed to finish it off as I pushed my elite gaming day to beyond 17hrs. Once this outpost construction finished I was so zoned out, scary that I was not really tired it was just that I had that thousand yard stare after playing elite with cargo hauling 17hrs straight. There was no way to post update on this topic about the latest colonization claim so going to do that now next days morning bright and early :)

There was no plan to make and finish two system colonization claims in one day, it just happened organically, it was really amazing to realize right at the end of the evening that oh hey, I get to finish this in few cargo hops :)

Now my system colonizing hunger or obsession whatever its called, is getting stronger and stronger, I'm trying to think how do I step my game up, how can I create more orbital outposts to make these colonization claims, hmm well simple answer is fleet carriers.

Hmm thinking about putting several PMC fleet carriers to run a train from some colonization required commodities loading system to snake sector where I keep unloading them, this requires other community CMDRs to load the carriers for 20k/ton or so profits of course. Last year I had various degrees of success with that, sometimes carriers got filled up within hour or two, other times they were still empty almost a week later, its really strange how that worked back then. Today early fall of 2026, I have no idea, I do see some colonizing or fleet carrier groups having a lot of traffic in their tasks/jobs/advertising channels so I would have to assume there are plenty of cargo haulers still moving cargo for carriers which are loading up.

So today my plan is to make a new system colonization claim and then rely on myself to get the job done, put PMC Trader 24 (Panther Clipper MK2) to work and haul some heavy cargo, I would be utterly disappointed in my performance if I couldn't do one system colonization claim today. So while that is going on, would be great to have at least one fleet carrier being loaded but I feel the pressure of time, I have no time to waste here for moving carriers and making those retard buy orders not to mention learn some chat bot commands to make advertisements, so its just cargo hauling by me alone now, maybe after this chain/bridge of systems is done then I can take a breather and fully study and implement that PMC fleet carrier train routine.

If some of you read this today (2026-10-03) while its still active/valid, feel free to try contacting me in-game, there is a lot of credits to be made for cargo haulers.

Made a new system colonization claim, pretty OK system.

You can (or should at least, dunno never tried without logging in) watch as things progress in here:

Join up, I'll pay 20k/ton profit for cargo hauling.
