Description:

I logged off in the HIP 23759 system, just off of the Witch's head nebula, on May 26th. I back in May 28th and found myself in the Synuefe ni-c b19-2 system, 356 light years distant. Exploration data appears to be intact.
Also:
I had never previously visited the Synuefe NIC b19-2 system. I had no exploration data for it.
I cannot plot a course from my current location to my previous one (possibly due to the COL 70 sector, which now lies between the two locations.)


Steps to reproduce: Unknown

Same issue here - disconnected in HIP 29896, today I reconnected and found myself in Synuefe NIC b19-2, a jump of something like 796 lightyears. HIP 29896 now says "requires unknown permit."

I blame Thargoids, personally.

 

[Kalpa]

Yeah, thargoids.

On a side note, I'm pretty sure the support will be glad to move you to the 'other side' of new permit region, if you're unhappy where the automatic move threw you!

 

[Birdnose]

Heh. Mostly it was just disconcerting, because I ended up back closer to the bubble -- my initial thought was that I'd reverted to an earlier position, and possibly lost my exploration data. But it looks like it's intact. Guess I'll know for sure when I try to sell it.

 

[MarcusVatta]

So we were both transported to the same system? That's a possibly spooky coincidence.

I really hope it wasn't support that moved me. I departed Maia after the patch dropped, so I wasn't trapped, and I threaded my way around the COL 70 sector with some difficulty, but I made it, and was ready to move towards my next destination.

Glancing at other threads it looks like possibly everyone who was in the general vicinity of the Witch Head Nebula and Barnard's Loop was dropped back in Synuefe.

I was actually exploring with a partner, in my previous session -- it'll be interesting to see if she ended up in the same system.
