Players are trying to stop YOU unlocking Prof Palin.

A little note on the BGS for those concerned.

You can still get missions from a faction when it's in lockdown. Just go to a system where the faction in lockdown is present, but not in control of the station. Sirius Corp are in many systems, including some that are pretty far away from Sirius. If they're kicked from the immediate area, go to one of those systems. One has a nice group of RES where you can fight against lockdowns and such while quickly gaining allied rep.

Sirius Corp's home is in Sirius. They can't retreat from there, so they'll always be present.

The invitation for Qwent can be more easily found at an outpost that at station, so if you're having problems, go to the outpost in Sirius.

How so? It's a lore action and the justification I heard for Sirius by the group that I know was hitting Wolfberg was because of Salome calling for a blockade. Maybe you just aren't familiar with everyone who hit Wolfberg?

Edit: as in why hitting Sirius, not that they hit Wolfberg because of that recent Salome message

The issue there is that you have to get access to the Sirius system first (via permit) as its the only place you get invite to the engineer is in the stations in the Sirius System. So at the moment, I think the only genuine option is the Exploration data to the Procyon system (which the player groups have agreed to leave alone).

The lockdown is over. We ended it quickly, using the RES at HIP something-or-other. It's mentioned around here somewhere. Didn't take long.

If we need to do it again, it won't take a lot of effort.

Since Privateer's Alliance is my group, I can't get banned for naming and shaming. :)

1. We were hired by the player groups in Sirius Business to help in BGS and blockades of Sothis/Ceos
2. All pvp interdictions have been accompanied by a warning, if it wasn't, they aren't PA.
3. We have no real allegiance to the cause; we're guns for hire.
4. There has been opposition! ToC has been engaging our pilots to remove our blockade in Sothis/Ceos (they're great folks, we've enjoyed the RP with them immensely)
5. This op has nothing to do with engineers, read the books, listen to Salome`s requiem.

If you have any questions about my group's participation in this op, feel free to ask; I'll try to get a coherent answer to you. No guarantees since I am trapped in a small cubicle and can't escape for another 4 hours.

From my understanding very few hold anything against Privateer's Alliance, after all you are just doing a contracted job. If anything the end of this operation might see your group being hired by the opposition, since by then, or sometime in the future, any possible non-compete clause would be gone.

It's a brilliant bit of marketing to be honest, the groups that are known to be doing Sirius Buisness wouldn't have been as effective without Privateer's Alliance. Also the streams of PA at work have been rather entertaining, present company included.

Taken from Reddit user terenn_nash ;-

Procyon isnt blockaded, and will not be attacked. it will be maintained in sirius control to ensure access to qwent is not compromised. It does not have a black market and thus can't be UA bombed.

That being said - DONT GRIND OUT MISSIONS for sirius rep.

go to this system:

Col 285 Sector CX-J c9-8

scan everything with a DSS equipped, and turn the data in to a sirius controlled station in procyon, this will get you allied and then its a matter of the permit mission popping up.

I had the problem with the Modular Terminals but LHS 20 has a station that spawns at least one MT mission a click.

This no longer works. A few of us have done it over the past few days only to get 0 rep from it. I put in a bug report about it but got ignored.

And notice that Sirius has nothing much to do with the dynasty conspiracy.

Sirius is just an easy target, nothing more.

That could very well be the case, but as hired goons we aren't up for asking questions about motives :)

<out of character>

To be 100% honest, I am not up to speed on the lore. I am still working on the books, so I can't confirm or deny your statement.

Pollycough is indeed familiar with everyone that tossed SDC out of Wolfberg. They have no part in the injustice being perpetrated upon Sirius.

Implausible claim, he only knows that his group and associates weren't involved, not that everyone that took part in anti-Wolfberg operations is skipping out on Sirius. To claim otherwise is foolhardy.

Both he and I keep tabs on everyone that participated at Wolfberg. The whereabouts of very few of them is unknown but we also know their character and time availability. It is not an unreasonable claim. You'll have to turn your tin foil hat elsewhere to find the culprits that are attacking Sirius.

Again, you only know those that were in your group or contacted you, why would anyone outside of your clique even let you keep tabs on them? I'll even ask someone I know was there, but I've never heard of either of you before or your group. Maybe you should be a little more aware that the game includes more than just you and your friends.

It's been brought to my attention that some people are blaming the group that ousted SDC from Wolfberg on the BGS attack against the Sirius Corporation. I can assure you that this is far from the truth.

The group is not trying to disrupt access to engineers in any way.

Well since we can't name them it could be we are referring to two different groups claiming credit on the former and just one of the two in the latter.

Wolfberg? As in the good old days of hauling sh... biowaste to Dogmaa? Oh we had fun in that improvised CG. Successful beyond expectations - SDC not only lost the station but run away completely :D

I was one of the active participants along with my rl mates. Not as any group whatsoever but moved to action as many, many irritated forum members. Coordinating activities openly on Forum, dozens and dozens of us. This is the first time I hear such an accusation on Sirius - not a single player I know was involved. This Sirius business goes against all we did back then.

No.

More likely they were involved in breaking the lockdown. In which case I'm sorry I didn't know, I would join [up]

Clique? Never heard of me? This tells me that you weren't even there as I was one of the organizers. All those who fought against SDC discussed our actions and priorities daily, in public. The game lets us see who is logged in. And Discord lets us communicate regularly. But as you say, there may have been some who participated for one day in the months-long operation. We don't consider such players to be among those that were there for the op. Perhaps your acquaintance was one such person. It is also likely that such a person didn't pay attention to who participated in that epic operation almost 2 years ago.

Ah there it is, that smug player group elitism of 'if you aren't with us you don't count.'

No I haven't heard of you, first it's the name calling and now it's the denial that you must clearly know everyone, and if you don't they mean nothing. Between the different time zones and game modes you don't know everyone, in fact I don't even know who this 'supergroup' you refer to even is, could just be you and that other guy for all I know.
