Thank you.
Hopefully this won't change the Guardians Sites data via the Obelisk... I don't feel like re-re-re-reupdating the very complex guide for the 101 data :(

That guide is worth its weight in (insert mineral/metal of choice) - this account will be doing the 101 soon (y)

As mentioned, this change will be gradual throughout the day rather than having them all appear in one go. The majority should be back after the downtime and all of them by the end of the day.

Thanks for letting us know. Can I ask why they disappeared? Just curious

Greetings Commanders,

Yesterday we launched the Fleet Carriers update. Thank you to all the Commanders who have shared issues you've faced so far. To address the key ones, we are planning maintenance later today at 15:00 UTC which will require some downtime, expected to last up to an hour. This post describes the key issues we intend to resolve during this downtime.

Missions
Some Commanders had their missions removed unexpectedly. This especially affected Commanders undertaking longer missions. We will restore missions from before the update to minimise the impact on players. Due to the structure of the missions system, this means that any missions taken after the update will disappear. We'll implement this in a way to make this as fair as possible - more details will be shared on this after the maintenance.

Powerplay
A server issue meant that Commanders were able to unfairly advance their chosen Power rapidly. Knowing the importance of Powerplay to many of our more experienced players, we have thought carefully about which steps to take next. As such, we have decided to rollback the Powerplay system to undo the effects of the disruption. This means that Powerplay will return to its state from before the update. This decision was made in the interest of maintaining fair play throughout the community.

Missing Sites
The same server disruption caused an issue whereby sites such as Dav's Hope, the Jameson Crash Site, Guardian sites etc. were not present after the update. These will be restored gradually throughout the course of today, with the bulk being re-added after the downtime.

Thank you for all your feedback! Please continue to use the Issue Tracker and sharing any new issues on the Known Issues thread.

Thanks for your understanding,

The Elite Dangerous Team

Good news! :)
Will this also scrape that ugly imperial decal from the hull of my carrier? I didn't put it there and I really hate the superpowers a lot.
Totally game-breaking.
Pretty please?

^^ That one.

Just to kinda elaborate, there's too much going wrong for a single issue, IMO, without being as generic as "BGS has gone wonky". Influence levels are all over the joint, mission boards weren't generating, states being reported when there's actually no states. It's a bit of a mess.

I've run 20+ high-rep missions taken and completed since the update including a rank-up. If you roll back my progress on those I am going to be somewhat salty and significantly sulphurous....

Didn't see anything about resetting rep or rank earned, just the actual missions themselves. I'm hoping this is the case!

@Bruce Garrido , is there a fix pending for the CMDRs who ended up with a ghost carrier as well? Attempting to purchase one and being dropped from the game in the purchase process lead to the vendor thinking you had a carrier, but no carrier actually being created. Leads to a locked-out condition where you can't buy carriers.

Why bother? I'm just going to sneak back and respray it.

Which leads to another very important question. When we have the opportunity to leave our ships and walk/jetpack around, will we be able to unlock/buy sprays allowing us to vanadlise other Cmdrs ships?

This issue is known to the dev team and will have a fix delivered as soon as possible.

Thanks for the link - I understand the dev team have heard about this one too, although it's a lower priority than some of the other fixes.
