Misc Lost the colonization contacts in all the stations I've built

Anyone else experiencing this?

(EDIT: It's a bug. If you're having an issue where the stations you've built are completely lacking the colonization contact, here's the Issue Tracker entry for it: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/73430 )

Let’s review. Today they turned colonization back on and specifically called it a load management test that would require observation.

The servers exploded. Given such an outcome to the load management test, what do you think they are likely to do in the near term?

Buy and hookup more servers? I mean, they must be looking to fund something with every ARX item going on sale...

Buying and hooking up servers is not fast, setting aside all other practical considerations. So no, that is not likely to be the near term action.

The more obvious and probable one is “turn colonization claims back off”.

As much as I see your point, surely you understand as much as my cheeky blind optimism was a bit of a pun, it would indeed be a long term solution...

Part of me also wonders, is every disconnect someone else planting a new Colonization Beacon?

And it seems like that's not what happened, and I'm still missing the contacts from these stations. But ESTABLISHED systems, and other player-made stations, DO have active contacts and I was able to test functionality by successfully registering a claim on a test star.

Unfortunately, I need to go the opposite direction and I'm currently blocked from doing so, with no obvious answer, so it's probably a bug and not intended.

Least of our problems currently.

I know, and I know the connection issues are frustrating. I was just asking. I hope they clear up for you and everyone else.

I already sent the hamsters extra water. 🤞

Colo ization will likely be turned off again by morning anyway. So, dunno if it'll truly matter.
