Elite Dangerous PMC System Colonization Project

[Snake Man]

What is Elite Dangerous PMC System Colonization Project?

It is me colonizing Snake Sector as much as possible. Right now still in the beginning of Elite Dangerous v4.1.2.102 trailblazer update release this project will be mostly me grabbing as many Snake Sector system claims as possible by making a claim with primary port being an outpost.

Primary Port? when you make a elite system colonization claim you have to choose the primary port facility type, the location of primary port is pre-determined by elite but you as a system architect can choose which kind of station will you build. Options are outpost and starport. Differences are quite huge, outpost requires about 22,500 tons of cargo delivered to construct it while orbis/ocellus starports require some crazy like 240,000 tons of cargo delivered. Always choose outpost as primary port, its easiest to construct and you have no problems completing it in 28 days (one month, basically) time which elite sets for new claims (additional builds have no time limit).

In the future I want to build/construct more facilities in these systems when there is rest of the life time to do that, right now my focus is just to grab as many colonization claims as possible. Sure I try to cherry pick only the good systems which allow more constructions.

This topic in PMC Tactical Forum is to document my daily system colonization efforts.

More to come, stay tuned.

The current Elite Dangerous PMC system colonization project location is Snake Sector ER-V b2-0 system, see inara link for details.

If any cargo hauling traders want to help me out and get paid 20k/ton profit + system colonization ship profits for the effort, then head over to that system and say hello to me in system chat, I am there hauling cargo non stop right now in this timestamp.

Traders who help me haul cargo for the system colonization ship will get paid manually once the job is done. I will have to write down the details but in extremely short description, first you help me haul the cargo to complete outpost construction, then you have to send me your elite game journal LOG files for inspection where I can pull out every single cargo run and ton you delivered to system colonization ship. Once that is done, then we do the fleet carrier credit transfer, you buy something really cheap and then sell it back to the same carrier with ridiculously high price, therefore getting paid the pre-calculated sum of credits. But indeed more details and guide/tutorial on that later when I get around writing one.

For now, as said, current PMC system colonization construction is Snake Sector ER-V b2-0 system, see you there if you want to be part of the project while getting paid.

Just traveled through all the open colonization claim systems and docked into system colonization ships to get EDMC colonization plugin filled with data. I also wrote the data down to copy-paste text format.

Here is that required commodities list text:

Update on PMC system colonization project, made a lot of progress today on Snake Sector ZU-Y c7 system. Now this and Snake Sector ER-V b2-0 are pretty much done as PMC fleet carriers ran out of required commodities to supply these system colonization ships. For example water purifiers, those ran out from any carrier holding them, got none right now. They could be picked up fairly easily within 100 light year (LY) distance but I rather send fleet carrier to do a proper loading than just cherry pick few commodities.

Oh and I did check out Klikis 1 for free slots again today and it was a no go, man those Trailblazer Megaship systems suck so bad, I decided not to bother with them, I wont go into the long list of issues on those systems here but yeah decision has been made and I started to remove trailblazer megaship bookmarks from my CMDR's galaxy maps and firefox etc, I am done with megaships, they are not worth it.

Had to call an early night today, just cant continue, not feeling exhausted or burnt out "specifically" but just feeling like nope, cant do it man, cant continue hauling cargo today anymore, time to chill rest of the evening. This is what you get when you play 17hrs/day since february 17th

Kind of bummer as I was just preparing to move a fleet carrier to loading system but deciding where to send her just felt like "blah" heh. Oh well maybe tomorrow then.

Doing good progress so far, hopefully getting those water purifiers bought soon and to conclude two constructions in rapid fashion.

Just moments ago finished system colonization outpost construction for Snake Sector ER-V b2-0 system, new outpost is now up and running.
