Ships Can't get invite mission for Marcus Qwent because Sirius system is in lockdown! Aaargh!!!

Just to check that I'm not going mad and that there really is a very stupid game design decision with unlocking Marcus Qwent.

1. I'm Allied with Sirius Corporation
2. I have a Sirius system permit
3. I'm at Patterson Enterprise

However, the Sirius System is in lockdown so there's no missions available here or at O'Brien Vision

This means that I absolutely cannot get the mission needed to unlock Marcus Qwent, right?

If so, what a colossal piece of %^&* this bit of game design is.

I thought the general consensus was that the return of storylines, with consequences, was a good thing?

Just wait until next week, do you absolutely need him now?

Of course I don't absolutely need him right now, stop making silly straw man arguments. However I do like to plan out what I'm going to do and don't have the luxury of being able to change direction and refit at the drop of a hat so yes it is somewhat frustrating to be messed about by bad game design - it is possible to have game unlocks that don't get messed about when storyline changes are made - the problem is that the devs haven't bothered to design a robust game.

I understand, you've got everything you want so anyone who doesn't isn't worthy of consideration or empathy. Well done, you win at forum warriors, you must be so proud of your accomplishment.

As a thank you for such high praise you can win at making wild assumptions.

I’m simply playing a character who exists within the constraints of the game world, and given a choice between salting the forums and enjoying the atmosphere of the latest ‘surprise’ rescue events, I’d much rather do the latter 👍

When I was going to unlock Vatermann Lave was in famine and there were exactly zero Lavian brandy for sale. Annoying at the time? Certainly. Important at the larger scale of things? Not at all. And that was just regular BGS happening. Just wait and do the unlock when its available again.

Oh, and AX CZs have been available exactly once during the last year ...

And the poorly timed ones too. I imagine the devs will have red faces when they realise just what they‘ve done here. It just so happens that an excruciatingly small minority of people needed this engineer at this precise time and they’ve gone and ruined that, with of all things, some story.

Like we don’t have enough story already. This game is story heavy. Story centric. Story laden. Too much story. Thread after thread, bitterly complaining about all the story and they go and wallop a load more in.

I sympathise, but checking the system was under lockdown is easily seen on the galaxy map.

I appreciate that nothing in game tells you this, or would indicate you need to check in the first place.

As others have said it will be all available again (probably) next Thursday.

Good hunting.

When there is no story (read: GalNet empty for months and months), people complain about that too. FDev gives people story, people complain about that.
