System Colonisation: Difference between revisions
Added a summary of what Factions appear in a newly Colonized system |
Correcting colonization distance: I tried Col 285 Sector CR-M d7-94 from HIP 86672, but the "Claim System" button is disabled. The system is 15.05 Ly away from HIP 86672. Frontier made a mistake when they said the claim distance was 16 LY: previous announcements said 15 Ly. |
