What even is this

[CloakerJones]

Can somebody tell me why exactly we need a permit to go to the Witch's reach system?

THE SYSTEM CONSISTS OF 2 AVERAGE STARS AND ONE GAS GIANT THAT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE RINGS.

NOONE EVEN LIVES THERE EITHER.

THE POPULATION IS 0

AND YET NOPE,

PERMIT.


why.

gotta be hiding something. its too baren and useless of a system for a permit.

[Lockerd]

that's probably why, it's hiding future events....like them thargoids.

....so its locked, you've never been there, and yet your galaxy map has data for it.

yes. which is why i made this thread.

it makes no sense why its locked behind a permit when there is litterally ♥♥♥♥ all in the system.

Why is it annoying you that you can't go to a system which has nothing in it? i'd be upset if there was something interesting in the system but there isn't.

[CloakerJones]

permits are for systems that are of significant value to the game. but this system doesn't even have a description as to the lore behind it or why its locked.

its not annoying, it's just out of place.

What I don't like about the current implementation is that I don't know which systems a permit exists for and which not off the bat. Especially those within the bubble.

If you click a system to plot a route it will say if it requires a permit. and if so you wont be able to plot the route because you dont have said permit.

Some of them "permits" cannot be acquired though.

[Madzombie10]

What ones? (just curious)

There are several huge areas of starfields that are permit locked

The ones by the witch head were added recently but used to be deplorable.

Rumour is that is where aliens will be based

The ones that can't be aquired will show as "Unkown Permit required".

Frontier closed off huge swathes of space a while ago. Nobody knows exactly why, but rumor is that they're either using those sectors to test stuff before it goes live (and since S3 and S4 are supposedly being developed in parallel, that would include planetary stuff and all that goodness) or that it'll be some manner of alien Bubble.

Strange. I explored around that area last year without isssue.

I'm more upset about Polaris being locked away.

Yeah it was towards the end of last year around Nov/Dec (if memory serves) that they locked it.
