Not getting the Sirius Permit mission?

[Pville_Piper]

Try Davy Dock in Procyon. That and Lucy's Star are the only 2 systems where the permit is obtainable, I remember reading on the wiki.

Wiki is wrong... I did most of mine at Avik. The Davy dock at Procyon and the Bruce Prospect at Avik are controlled by the Sirius Corp. so any profitable activity, such as turning in bounties, selling exploration data, mining and selling it at that station and trading AT A PROFIT, in addition to missions for Sirius Corp, will increase your rep with Sirius Corp... In your case the invite will likely come quickly but I can take a couple of days for the invite mission to spawn.

Just relax, head over to Davy dock, do some missions or profitable activity at the station that you enjoy and it will come.

BTW... Selling trade at a loss decreases you rep with the controlling faction.

I had to travle to the variou stations in scylla to get the siriu persmission. But the Qwent invite is waiting.

got my Qwent invite first roll of the board in Sirius, at the outpost there in the system.

I got my Sirius permit in Sothis/Ceos runs. Never ever touched Sirius area before. Also for the poor soul searching for the Qwent invite - it can ONLY be issued from within Sirius system. Interesting fact: Sirius Corp doesn't have to own the station for the invitation to spawn.

It's not just Qwent although that's the most talked about issue. It can be the same for Liz Ryder or naval rank missions amongst others. It's the RNG gods having a laugh.

I got mine at Procyon, Davy Dock after waiting for ever at Sirius.

Well I started to go ahead with doing the engineers. I already had Sirius Corp Allied in Sothis however I never got the permit. I now have the intro to Marco Qwent but it still tells me that I have to be invited by them. What am I suppose to do here? I have checked the missions boards for over 2 hours and even going from solo to open but no permit mission... Any ideas?

The Sirius permit will only be offered by the Sirius Corp faction in the Sirius System! You have to go to Sirius system and even though your are already allied you will probably need to run a couple of missions for the local (Sirius) Sirius Corp faction in order to get the permit and the invitation. I had to. As I recall the permit mission was received at a Sirius station and when I delivered I received the invitation.

Are you saying you need to enter the system you are locked out of by a permit, in order to gain the permit you need to enter the system in the first place?

No, not really, Catch 22. But the Qwent's INVITATION, yes, you're right.

I confirm Davy Dock. I´ve built my rep quite quickly in AVIK getting bounties and then spent hours trying to find the permit in all neighbouring systems with Sirius corp ... nothing. Then I found this thread so I went to Davy dock and it was there immediately. Yippee!

 

[Bome]

After being allied with Sirius Corp for so long through Sothis/Ceos trade runs back in the day, I never got the permit. Today I just got the Sirius permit by going to the AVIK system and landing at BRUCE PROSPECT. At first i didnt get any missions or mail but after logging in and out 2x the mission popped up for me

Ok. This is annoying me to the point of writing on the forums, which I rarely do anymore. It seems to me that this is at best negligence and at worst overtly obtuse game design.

After raising my rep at the San system to allied status (via my preferred method of bounty hunting), I travel to Leuyten's Star (neighboring Sirius) only to discover that my status is barely friendly there. Why? This doesn't make any sense. I then see that the permit mission is present on the mission board, but I can't get it because of my low (friendly) reputation. Very annoying. After spending significant time on Google, I've seen conflicting suggestions on how you can raise your rep in distanced systems AND that you need to have allied rep in systems systems close to Sirius. So which one is it FD? Because I can't see you providing any sort of clear information on this at all? Why do I have to resort to wasting time and being confused over vague and conflicting information from secondary sources? After all, we're talking about a feature (Engineers) that seems very central to the game. It just seems sloppy to me.

It appears that I will probably have to spend several nights grinding Sirius rep again by way of boring and scarce missions. I don't see the logic behind it. I've already gained rep with Sirius corp, albeit in a system about a hundred LY away. It appears that instead of making the information needed to get access to Qwent available and coherent, FD are leaning on information sources outside the game. Hopefully I'm wrong, but this just seems like poor game design to me. Maybe I'm missing something important - in which case, please inform me - but at the moment I get the impression that this feature is unfinished and doesn't hold the standard that should warrant a place in any finished product.

Some of the confusion over this might stem from the fact that the permit mission appears very infrequently. This would probably lead to conflicting information on the net. But why have that particular mission only appear once in a blue moon? Is there ANY reason for this beyond simply being obtuse for the sake of wasting people's time?

I'm allied with Sirius now, but they're in a state of investment, which apparently means there are no missions (including, I'm guessing, the one that gets me the Sirius permit).

There is really no way to avoid a grind. Just do missions from the station offering the permit and work your way up that way. Keep going, because you get there eventually.

But "allied with Sirius" means very little, doesn't it? You can be allied with Sirius in one system and not allied at all in another. Or is there some main aggregate of Sirius rep somewhere to be found that I've missed?

That just doesn't sound fun to me. It's like more like a bottleneck of boringness.

The only pre-requisite is to be allied with Sirus Corporation, in any one system. However, the permit mission is inserted with the same basic RNG as any other mission, so it will not automatically appear immediately.

It can be one or two board refreshes. Or twenty. Welcome to the many layers of RNG. Please enjoy your stay.

Ok. So I'll just keep refreshing the mission board in the San system until the permit mission appears. Game design-wise that is just terribly clunky. But at least it works - hopefully.

You may as well do some missions and keep coming back. At least you get to enjoy the 'space' outside, rather than sat in a station clicking refresh buttons

No comment. Just do whatever missions take your fancy. Because the game knows what you want, and is coded to never let you actually have it. The mission will eventually appear; but there is no "this one weird trick to ripped abs and permit unlocks" to it. Just RNG. Like pretty much everything else.

 

[Katnisseve]

As has been stated previously.... Go to Davys Dock in Procylon. For me, the permit mission appeared after doing one or two missions. Then, do that permit mission. Yes, you have to be allied with Sirius Corp, but there are several factions at some of these stations that arent directly sirius corp. Only Sirius Corporation needs to be Allied.
I did it in Sothis which is 500+ ly away.
Anyway.... Once you get permit.... Go into Sirius. Go to main starport. Check boards, if NOT there, visit each port and or planet side base WITHOUT relogging.
The invite mission only appears at ONE station in any given instance. If, after going to all ports, go back to main starport. Relog a couple times if you want, but, in this case, the invite mission will probably not spawn until you log off and come back a day or two later at that station.
I personally left sirius system after first checking boards, went and did other stuff for a day, then came back and the invite mission was there at main port straight away

By the way, you have been collecting modular terminals, meanwhile, to save yourself time later ?
