System Colonisation
System Colonisation is an upcoming, brand-new feature for ED: Odyssey. Claim star systems with player-led, free-form expansion in the galaxy.[1] The Bubble is no longer static.[1]
Overview
Frontier released limited information about system colonisation:
- Colonisation is a player-driven way to expand the Bubble and colonise new systems[2]
- Players will be able to colonise unpopulated systems within a certain distance of populated systems (distance yet to be revealed)
- Once players have colonised a system, they will begin building a starport
- After the starport is built, players will have the choice to expand within the system--building new assets, such as starports, settlements, outposts, etc)--which will dictate the economy of the system.
- Players can claim multiple systems, but one at a time--a colonised system must have the primary starport built before the players can begin colonising another system.
Development
System Colonisation was first unveiled during a Frontier Unlocked livestream on 30 October 2024.[2]
