The Type-11 Prospector Update 2 introduced new functionality to prevent 'claim sniping'. When the primary port is completed in a newly colonised system, an exclusive lock on making claims FROM that system's colonisation contact will be enforced for a short period.<ref name=":13">[https://www.elitedangerous.com/update-notes/4-2-1-2 Type-II Prospector Update 2 - Update Notes] - Elite Dangerous - 16 October 2025</ref>

* After this 30 minutes expires, anyone within the System Architect's Squadron may make a claim for the next 23.5 hours<ref name=":13" />

** This will function even if the System Architect is in their own solo Squadron<ref name=":13" />

* After a total of 24 hours, the exclusive claim rights lift and any player may make a claim from the newly constructed system<ref name=":13" />

** Note that if the System Architect is not in a squadron, then only the 30 minute lockout applies<ref name=":13" />

* The claim panel via the colonisation contact has been updated to display when a lockout is in effect, and details the remaining duration<ref name=":13" />

If the claimed system has planets with rings, there is a chance that [[Resource Extraction Site|Resource Extraction Sites]] will be created in the rings.
