Players are trying to stop YOU unlocking Prof Palin.

The are not trying to stop YOU, they started attacking Sirius Corp because of Salome's message. They are playing by in game rules and I'm quite happy to see this level of player involvement.

If you dislike what they are doing you are free to fight them back, I don't see what the problem is here.

PD: I don't have Qwent or Palin unlocked
The problem was that there didn't appear to be an effective opposition.

Ahhh so this is more of a rallying cry to get opposition going? That's awesome! You should contact some of the folks in Time of Chaos, they've been putting up a good fight against the sothis/ceos blockade. :) o7 CMDR
 
The Federation, Empire and even Alliance are basically untouchable by player action beyond a few systems changing hands.

You should probably take another look at the political maps over time.

The Federation has lost something like a quarter to a third of it's systems since the last global reset.
 
Bring on the opposition - have loved Operation Sirius Business so far. Put me in touch with other player groups I would never usually meet and had fun whilst adding to my own lore creation. Everyone still getting their permits and access to that Qwent chap so nothing has changed other than removing control of systems from Sirius Corp in the name of Salomé. Has been interesting to see a new player that joined us, along with our own minor faction BGS, getting more interested in the game lore and player group interactions, which is not immediately obvious from the game itself. Increased their interest in the engineers as well.

Sirius Corporation have been under attack by a group of players for several weeks now. This is making it more difficult for players who haven't unlocked the engineer Prof Palin - He who is the source of the greatest engine enhancements and Thargoid related goodies.

In the last few days Sirius Corp have lost the Avik system and their influence in Sirius itself has been halved, if these lunatics are left unopposed...

I hope the heroes who flipped Wolfberg can come out of retirement and provide some effective opposition to their old enemy.


Great, this is all showing that doing missions or affecting reputations can impact the universe on a larger scale!
 
Sorry I know this will make me appear incredibly naive and ignorant, but what message was this, do you have a transcript or link to the source?

No it doesn't. For the lore information one has to go far beyond the game. I also do not read Elite books and I do not consider myself naive or ignorant. I simply have different taste for literature. If you care with what the terrorists are justifying their actions this time, it's nothing that can't be found via google.

I don't care for terrorist justifications, but I am intrigued by the Salome reference and greater mysteries.

Unfortunately, I do not subscribe to Discord, Reddit and the wealth of extraneous services nor do I have any interest in purchasing Drew Wagnar's fiction - that are apparently required to play this game.

Not really required, but yeah, lore-wise one can't depend solely on the in-game sources. Childern of Raxxla are a good source of information, check on them.

I've read a good deal from the CoR, Formidine Rift mysteries and some Cannon informations within these forums, that's really how come I have any ntion of wom Salom€ is and the reason why I was curious as to what "message" of hers this current thread is supposedly related to...
To be fair, the Salomé message is discoverable in game but here it is:-
Thank you kindly! :) Very much appreciated.

the muppets with the operation stupid name didnt need to stop me unlocking professor palin. FD did that already with the requirements. same with quent - i havent seen a mission in months giving mod terms. so neither quent nor palin with the unborken animals or whatever freaky stuff he wants 50 of will ever be unlocked by me. apart from never having come across what palin wants EVER in my travels, im not risking my ship carrying things that try to eat the ship from the inside out probably.

I don't know if this will help or not. But I took an alt searching for Mod Terminals on Thursday and had 28 on Friday. Playing in the evenings. They were Empire factions that gave the Mod Terminals. Maybe the Empire has them? Like I said, I don't know, but it might be worth a try to look at some Imp faction missions.

As for the ship destruction, my alt doesn't handle or shoot UAs. UFs don't harm your ship. They're materials rather than commodities. I dumped the surplus after collecting them. They can be found at the alien crash site at HIP 17862, planet 6, moon C A, which is the moon orbiting the moon. Coordinates 30.3398, -98.5876. It's dark, so you'll need to get close. Don't pick up the UAs. Those are what corrode your ship. There are plenty of UFs laying around. If you don't mind shooting the UAs, they break into UFs when destroyed. I'd think that would put you on the Tharagoids' list though.

I got 28 mod terminals this evening, I was boardhopping between open, solo and one private group at every stop though, looking at all passenger and normal missions. I usually don't boardhop but I don't want to fly around for days with modular terminals in the cargo hold. Started in the Orang system, python was parked there and I'm cordial with some of the factions there since I used it to grind empire rank with passenger transport missions.
