I haven't been there myself, but I plan on making a couple trips in the next month. As I understand it, the Colonia project mostly involves PvE players who mostly play in the FleetComm private group. Of course, PvP players can still show up in open, but I don't think there are a lot of them willing to make the trip. My feeling is that there is a small expanding bubble around Colonia, so it should be like playing in Mobius, but possibly with a more concentrated player base. There are all kinds of groups from exploration to mining to militia and etc., all wanting to play with like minded commanders. Of course, it's pretty sparse in regards to buying ships, outfitting, missions, and etc. And there are no RNGineers.
There is an expansion CG based on moving player factions out to Colonia where they will get a planetary base (see news and announcements forum). There is also a Christmas Convoy to bring supplies to Colonia (which will hopefully result in better outfitting). I plan on possibly taking part in both of those simultaneously. Then I'm going to clear my save and head out in a basic Sidewinder and take part in the Outlander Challenge - starting over in the new bubble.
