=== 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> Brewer Corporation confirmed the success of the second phase on November 11, and scheduled the next 26 megaships to be deployed along the Colonia Bridge route by November 25.<ref name="Bridge Gains">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/618d09b2b24934404617c131 GalNet: Colonia Bridge Gains Further Resources]</ref>

On November 19, the [[Tau Ceti Journal]] reported rumours that Brewer Corporation was making revisions to its plans for the project's third phase in response to the unexpectedly high participation rates in the first two phases. These rumours were bolstered by confirmation from an insider source that the corporation was manufacturing more modified Frame Shift Drives as incentives for phase three.<ref name="Bridge Changes">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6197ce0c7a6ab72f5234fe71 GalNet: Colonia Bridge Project Faces Possible Changes]</ref>

*[[Brewer Corporation]] is enhancing the travel corridor to [[Colonia]], but details about the project's next phase remain uncertain. Business-related [[newsfeed]] The [[Tau Ceti Journal]] published this feature: "There's no doubt that Brewer Corporation always thinks big. It has enjoyed huge commercial success as a manufacturer of [[starport]]s and [[outpost]]s, and its [[Drake-Class Carrier|Drake-class fleet carrier]] has been enormously popular. The Colonia Bridge is the [[Mega Corporation|megacorp's]] most expensive undertaking yet, investing hundreds of billions of [[credits]] on the transportation infrastructure between the [[Core Systems|core systems]] and [[Colonia Region|Colonia]]. More than one analyst predicted that the project might financially destabilise them. The first two phases proceeded on schedule. Before the end of this month, there will be a chain of 56 stationary [[megaship]]s along systems between Alcor and Colonia. But there are rumours of a change of plans for phase three, which may be early next year. It is believed that Brewer Corporation is revising its plans based on the unexpectedly high levels of participation from the galactic community. In support of this, one company insider did reveal that more [[Engineers|engineered]] [[Frame Shift Drive|frame shift drives]] are being manufactured, to be offered as incentives to contributing pilots in the third phase."<ref name="Bridge Changes" />

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Successful campaigns in the Alcor and [[Colonia]] systems will result in new [[megaship]]s being added to the Colonia Bridge. Large quantities of [[Ceramic Composites|ceramic composites]], [[Computer Components|computer components]] and [[Thermal Cooling Units|thermal cooling units]] were provided at either end of the route between the [[Core Systems|core systems]] and the distant [[Colonia Region|Colonia region]]. [[Brewer Corporation]] provided an update on the project: "Once again, the galactic community has provided the vital materials required to construct dockable megaships. These additional ports should be operational by the 25th of November, making journeys to and from Colonia easier and safer. Pilots can now collect their rewards from Macdonald Settlement in the Alcor system and [[Jaques Station]] in the Colonia system. We shall also be awarding an [[Engineers|engineered]] [[Frame Shift Drive|frame shift drive]] with [[Increased Range Frame Shift Drive|long range]] and [[Faster Boot Sequence Frame Shift Drive|fast boot]] to the majority of contributors." The top ten pilots who delivered materials to Alcor and Colonia will shortly be invited to submit suggestions to name 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="Bridge Gains" />
