UAs, Barnacles & More Thread 5 - The Canonn

Two of you report strange permit request before crash; is it correct?

It's not just the Asp that overheats when flying upside-down. It seems likely that the top-side thrusters are not intended to keep a ship aloft in gravity, and they are overheating with the strain of trying to do so. I recall that the devs discussed that the ship became less stable if you weren't oriented with the bottom thrusters to the ground because the other thrusters aren't intended to work in this way.

Flying at a slight downward angle whilst applying appropriate vertical thrust gives a good view of the ground without eating gravel (or flying upside Down) - I struggled to get it working on my X-Box Controller and ended up using dual joystick ... Flying a dropship With a upwardoriented canopy I could not tink of anything else.

Cheers

I haven't crashed or been kicked out. Sitting in solo still 833KM around Maia A 7. Not sure what to do or think about this..

I think it's just because the transaction server is not contactable. The game probably checks it to see if you have a permit, or if a permit is required to land at all and defaults to a 'permit required' state if it can't get data.

At least two of us.

MB didn't say to not search Merope, he said searching the Nebula/Sisters may be a good idea. We have no evidence that the UA and barnacles/meta alloys are linked either. If someone finds another UA shell 150Ly from another nebula I might be more inclined to listen tho

Q: But the fact that these barnacles can be found in other nebulae, that more than one location has been hand placed, etc. proves that the UAs are not pointing at Merope because of the barnacles. The barnacles are another clue in the big puzzle, not the end of the puzzle. There is still no logical reason to focus the barnacle search in Merope. Every landable planet in the Pleiades has just as much chance of containing the hand placed fixed POI as the planets in Merope, and Merope has already been searched the most.

Had that exact same thing in Maia about 15 mins ago..

Maybe you got pulled by a Thargoid ship and just need to request docking permission from the mothership

 

[Magichp]

While the servers are down, I thought I might as well say Hi ^^

Searching Pleione 4 for the last two days, quite much gold, a bit of Polonium, interesting craters and green river-like strips of land... But no barnacles of course.
The search resumes as soon as the servers are back

you are in a suspended state; I'm not sure your session will recover for itself...

This is interesting because even if it is obviously a bug, it means that landing permits are a thing that exist.

Correct, on a planet i had just landed on, then it bumped into orbit and said required permit, then transaction error and now I can't even log back into the game, just keep getting kicked back to desktop

I just felt a great disturbance in the FD server, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

 

[ExplodingLlama]

At least two of us.

Three of us. Still can't get back on.

 

[mike123pro]

This may be nothing but I was searching Merope 2b when suddenly I'm 124km up rather than 3km and I have a message saying permit required to land here.


hmm, just got a transaction server error so that may be the cause.

I got the same problem on another planet

I stand corrected, apologies all round

 

[Hocter]

I was flying around Merope 2A and got catapulted 80KM into the air with the "Permit Required' message... I assume its a bug.

Spoiler

Relog, there have been issues with the servers. Which may cause problems like you have with permission. Known issue when you have server / conneciton issues.

I think that FD made some hot change on game and systems configuration that has not been perfectly applied, so all crashed.

 

[Byped]

could a Ua be the permit required?
