=== Phase Two === | |||
Phase two of the Colonia Bridge began on November 4, 3307. Similar to the first phase, it involved the construction of up to 26 megaships. These would be placed along the [[Colonia Connection Highway]] to link the two segments of the Colonia Bridge put into place by the first phase. Brewer Corporation would produce 20 of the megaships, while the Colonia Council handled the other six. Once again, the top ten participants in both Colonia and Alcor would be permitted to name some of the megaships, and to encourage long-range traders and deep space explorers to participate in the project, Brewer Corporation also offered Class 3, 4, and 6 modified [[Frame Shift Drive]]s as bonus rewards.<ref name="Phase Two">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6183da5d0a3c291e47134e9c GalNet: Colonia Bridge Project Enters Phase Two]</ref> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>[[Brewer Corporation]] requests deliveries in the Alcor and [[Colonia]] systems for the next phase of the Colonia Bridge project. A successful initiative in October resulted in the placement of 30 dockable [[megaship]]s at intervals of several hundred light years, providing services such as refuelling and repairs. The second phase seeks to establish this support for the full route between the [[Core Systems|core systems]] and the [[Colonia Region|Colonia region]]. A press release from Brewer Corporation stated: "We are now ready to continue work on the Colonia Bridge, by constructing additional megaships to fill the middle of the planned route. As before, we require shipments of [[Ceramic Composites|ceramic composites]], [[Computer Components|computer components]] and [[Thermal Cooling Units|thermal cooling units]] at Macdonald Settlement in the Alcor system or [[Jaques Station]] in the Colonia system. Should deliveries reach sufficient levels, the top 75% of contributors will be awarded an [[Engineers|engineered]] [[Frame Shift Drive|frame shift drive]] with [[Increased Range Frame Shift Drive|increased range]] and [[Faster Boot Sequence Frame Shift Drive|faster boot sequence]]. Our hope is that this encourages deep space explorers and long-distance haulers to take part in the Colonia Bridge project." As an additional reward, the top ten contributors at Alcor and Colonia will be invited to submit naming suggestions for the new megaships. Submissions will be subject to review by the Brewer Corporation board of directors. To ensure a variety of choice, only pilots who have not yet submitted names for the Colonia Bridge megaships will be eligible.<ref name="Phase Two" /> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Thirty [[megaships]] have been placed between the [[Core Systems|core systems]] and the [[Colonia Region|Colonia region]] to serve as stationary ports. Twenty-five dockable megaships were sent out from the Alcor system toward [[Colonia]], taking position in systems approximately 400 to 500 light years apart. Five further megaships have been established from the direction of the Colonia system. Each vessel serves as a permanent way station for travellers and businesses, designed to improve the [[Colonia Connection Highway|journey to and from Colonia]]. A variety of services are provided, including [[tritium]] refuelling for [[Drake-Class Carrier|Drake-class fleet carriers]]. The Colonia Bridge is the product of [[Brewer Corporation]], which ran a highly successful deliveries campaign to collect resources. The [[Mega Corporation|megacorp]] has confirmed that phase two of this project will commence next week. During the creation of the Colonia Bridge, the crew aboard the stationary megaship Memories of Oresrati in the Snake Sector OD-S b4-2 system reported an unusual incident. A [[Holloway Bioscience Research Facility 15|distorted transmission]] that could have been an SOS was detected on long-range sensors. Although they were unable to triangulate its source, the signal strength suggested a point of origin within 50 light years.<ref name="Initial Operational" /> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Thirty [[megaships]] have been placed between the [[Core Systems|core systems]] and the [[Colonia Region|Colonia region]] to serve as stationary ports.
