Guide / Tutorial Permit Locks and how to get them

Azimuth confirmed as Mbooni permit vendor.

Also confirmed that conflicts block the permit missions (Azimuth have just finished a war and the permit was not showing while the war was active. Will update OP.
 
HIP 22460
Special Unlock: Scan the Listening Post in Synuefe GB-O c9-8 (this is the end of an in-game story - to follow the story start at the listening post in HIP 26176 ). Once you have scanned the Listening Post (target it like a Nav Beacon) you will be given the HIP 22460 permit.
Benefits: access to the Overlook megaship and associated lore
When I try to plot a route to HIP 26176 I get offered 2 options, both of which change the system name to 37 PHI-1 ORIONIS and tell me I need a permit. Is this some lore I'm unaware of, a bug, or something else going on?

In Odyssey if HIP 26176 is not found correctly in the Galmap navigate instead to DM99 15.1 edit: and look nearby . Hmm, I thought they fixed that

Hmm, getting a Plotting Error Route Unavailable when I try to plot to there.

Scanning the Listening Post in Synuefe GB-O c9-8 worked fine though. I was given the HIP 22460 permit.
 
Yeah, lots of permit locks. If you fly to Shenve (the engineer marker here makes it a good waypoint) then plotting to DM99 15.1 should work. ofc if you are now in 22460 then that might not work so first go back to the bubble ...
Plotting to Shenve works fine. I didn't realise it was near that infamous sector. I usually have to do the Shenve Shuffle when I navigate the Crystal Maze on my way to top up my raw mats.

I was overlooking Overlook and it's a mess. Was this part of the storyline you hinted at in your original post, or are Thargoids probably back on the menu for the CG next week?

Yeah, 22460 was the end point - the whole route is here https://canonn.science/codex/colonia-crash-site/ (I wouldn't bother going to Colonia :) ). Spoilers, obvs if you read down too far. Keep an eye out as you travel if you don't read it or you may miss things ...

Edit: And from what you wrote about 22460 you have missed something already maybe :)
 
It appears that HIP 22460 10 C has also been permit locked. I saw the report on the Buur Pit discord. I would verify but I'm not in a position to do so for several hours...

Apparently Azimuth Biochemicals has become "concerned" regarding SRVs that yeet...

Yeah, I'm not updating while the story is in-play
 
Can't check Glorious Prospect - it doesn't appear for me on my Horizons acct, and all my Odyssey alts (that can see it) already have the permit :(

Edit: though the system shows as being Azimuth aligned, but I guess it could be getting that from the Odyssey BGS sunc
 
The benefit is access to the pre-engineered mining lasers. They're class 1, but have both long range and reduced distro draw compared to regular lasers. We've been setting ton per hour records using these in combination with regular lasers.
Thanks - updated! (y)
