Not completely happy with it, but I've got no time to polish it - P2A Expedition is starting today and I'm not missing it! also this video is stupid, forget about it... :) music: www.pixabay.com
Im yet to visit Colonia, its the complete opposite end of the bubble and beyond where im based (Hoff) but maybe im making a wild assumption but if thargs invade the bubble we may be pushed out to Colonia? Idk, i love this game man, appreciate the info regarding engineering in Colonia..the stars are so dense there too
I've been at Colonia twice, first with my ol' trusty Anaconda, the second with Krait Phantom back in 2018, on my 2nd trip i decided to stay here at Colonia, roaming around the center, discovering weird interesting stuff. I parked my conda at Sol, i hope it survive the invasion lol. But dont worry we Colonians will welcome all of you bubble boys with open arms if everything gone wrong out there ;)
@@dashausdesamadeus9557 thanks cmdr, it may very well do..atm my home system is just light years away from the present maelstrom and other arriving stargoids..troubling times. Keep the kettle warm we may need it :)
Just got back from Colonia recently after first visiting Sag A , and was surprised bookmarks I made years earlier nearby were still undiscovered. Might head back out sometime for more exploration
You forgot the most important factor Colonia is missing: almost impossible to collect engineering materials (all types, raw is almost impossible, encoded is impossible and manufacturing? Only independent factions which you can only get 3 Grade 5 mats) so basically you have to go to the bubble to farm. Also, no Guardian sites.., so you gotta go to Colonia to farm them. I love Colonia, everything is cool except those facts above. That’s why I’m leaving Colonia
Colonia has the world of Death. The Bubble has Mitterend Hollow. _cue cutaway of Peter holding two Ernest VHSs. Blockbuster is closing, and he can only pick one._
Colonia is great and I feel more "at home" there than in ny part of the Bubble, but just be aware of a few limitations: there are no Superpowers in Colonia so you won't grind any Superpower rank there; likewise, a few materials related to Superpowers can't be found (like Imperial Protection) implying that you'll have to come back from time to time to "finance" engineering; some system states don't exist in Colonia so you won't find related materials/commodities either; some settlements types/ground missions don't exist either; there are no Goids or Guardian stuff in Colonia; there are very few PVP opportunities; there are no CG; there is no lore or story going on; Colonia is very lightly inhabited by human CMDRs, you will have to stay around Jacques Station if you care about Elite community feeling.
I have 2 more. Nearly all the stations have Interstellar Factors All 3 material traders are 1-2 jumps away from each other. I thought the CCN ruled Colonia ;)
I havent played elite for a few months now, I pretty much gave up on it. I dont wanna have anything to do with Fdev and their products anymore and the silly clown fiesta of a war with the thargoids...But after watching this video, being reminded of Colonia which I forgot about visiting cause of the absolute demotivation Fdev constantly caused throughout the years..Maybe, maybe I should start the engines of my Conda one final time. One last quest, a long and lonesome journey to forget the past..and maybe to rediscover, at least a part, of the Commander who I once was. I think I'll take you on, Colonia. Lets roll the dice one last time and see what we get! The rest is up to the stars. o7
I have a time share on Foster Terminal in Coeus, and I sometimes go out there for a few weeks or months at a time, but my squad is mainly based in the bubble when we aren't on an expedition so it's hard to stay out there for too long. It is very pretty and has a frontier feel to it. It's also a small neighborhood of sorts, since if you piss off a local faction you quickly find out everyone in Colonia suddenly hates you lol.
In the process of setting up my fleet carrier with all the engineered ships I might need, as well as topping up on all metrials, etc., then I shall set out, taking my time to get there, enjoying the trip while leaving my second account I just got in the bubble to grind away on it's own fleet carrier.
I got rid of my carrier, it was more pain than it was worth for exploration, the short jump range and stops to grind tritium was just too much of a grind. I can make the trip to Colonia much faster in my Aspx or Dbx. I think Fleet Carriers need to be reworked. They need to be smaller and a minimum of 1500ly jump range, they need to look like small docks instead of aircraft carriers. They should be equipped with a biodome with only 2-3 landing pads, small and medium.
I have been in Colonia for a few months now and went to buy a Scorpion SRV. Nearest dealer? 22,431 light years away. Need to find an anarchy system in outbreak? 22,000+ ly away. Colonia is a cool place and I'm glad I went there, but they don't have everything that you can get in the bubble. I guess that adds to the realism.
what is the quickest way to get to colonia? I don't have a lot of spare time at the minute but after seeing this video, I now really want to go! edit: also before I start my voyage is there anything I should do before? (e.g. guardian unlocks and empire/fed rank)
Quickest way is to hit the neutron Highway with a ship with good jumprange, but you can always check for a Fleet Carrier Ferry on FCOC discord, If you want to engineer here, check this old video of mine first: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9MY77Ji7H80.html&t
On my way back to the bubble after a 60000 ly Colonia Sag A loop. Just have to say that it is not for cmdrs with OCD. You will be compelled to map everything. 😅
As much as Colonia sounds great, How does one engineer ships in Colonia? Are there any engineers in Colonia? I can't function without and engineered ship. I guess, if you have all the ships you want, then it would not be an issue.
Two question's, can one obtain any and all of the various modual's one may desire for a particual load out. And of all the available station's, which one should I make my home station. I've been a resident of Jameson Memorial for more than 7,000 hour's. Older now, the bubble has gotten so full of wanna be's. The constant interdiction's, and seeking of materail's, I've come to the end of the line and looking to resettle somewhere else. I've got only three ship's one of which I use to utilize only for the delivering of cargo once a month for power play. And will be soon selling it. Leaving only two that I'd have transferred to Colonia. After gettng there via a bus or flying a Diamond back, which I'd purchase, utilize for the long trip, then sell once I get there.
Between Colonia Dream in Ratraii, Colonia Hub and Jaques Station in Colonia system - you should be able to get every module with very few minor exceptions. Every tech broker, every engineer and every material trader is just a jump or two away but there might be a problem in obtaining superpower made ships like Corvette or Cutter. There were alliance ships avaible in Carcosa system - but that only happens if the system is in anarchy state, when The Nameless rule it. Which might be or it may not be - as it is a subject of pretty much constant war between two human player factions, one of which is not an anarchy faction. :) also if you are planning on engineering here - it is a good idea of stacking up on superpower related mats as well, I'm thinking imperial shielding and Core Dynamic composites :) As to where to base yourself, you've got to visit them systems and choose where you like it best, I would avoid Colonia system - it's a pvp territory - If you know what I mean ;) Besides Jaques Station is the most traffic heavy station in the game, constanty plugged by tourists Belugas.
Why bother, just pick up a team trading mission to move Cutter worth of cargo for 50M to a system that's one jump away, get few friends, to do the same, share them missions when cashing in, easy Bill in a day... you keep ferrying those Sothis tourist or whatever though, lol
6:26 'Alliance' BWHAHAHAHHAHA I cracked up! ... .. In fact, this whole video was hilarious and well edited! ← Comment for algorithm + 👍 'd #OldManPaxus Rating: ☆☆☆☆
Thargoids? Haha, you fools supported the Colonia Bridge project, they'll follow it to you if we fail. Should have stuck with the 13 original planetary ports we build years ago. The rest of the bridge wasn't needed. :)
@@Fru_videos I will be glad of being hunted in elite :D And by the way, I am also planning my trip to Colonia soon. There are one fraction, which always needs help :) Going to Colonia from bubble is like going to small town from a big city. So calm and quiet in there. And that's just charming
If Colonia had thargoids (so I can grind them), a station like Jameson Memorial that requires Elite I rank (not trading rank), a bit more engineers, cool places and guardian sites then I would go there.
Not that good of a comparison but ok. XD I feel like this is just a video of you hating on the bubble and not giving a good comparison. Terrible video. lol It's good place to visit but that it, and not till you quite abit into the game. Everything you need is in or near the bubble.
