So Sirius is in a state of lockdown and the mission board is closed. Is there any way I can still get the Qwent invite, or am I out of luck?
Sirius lockdown, Qwent invite
- Thread starter crushdepth
- Start date
Thanks. But I'm afraid the idea of bounty hunting while grinding/carrying modular terminals fills me with horror.
Too bad, this effectively locks up three engineers including Palin.

AFAIK the Qwent invite can be acquired from any System in which the Sirius Corp. is present. So if one of the Systems they're in is in Lockdown, just head to another.
Funny how unlocking Qwent brings up so many threads. And no one even cares much about him, they just want to unlock Palin 
Anyway, it is true that you have to get the invite mission from a base in the Sirius system itself. You will not get it from any other system, so don't waste your time.
In the meantime, it seems you have 2 choices
1) dump your modular terminals, and help clear the lockdown, then reacquire them (or go bounty hunting with them, but..yeah)
2) wait until the lockdown clears itself (not sure how long that might be)
Neither choice sounds very good, but that seems to be the situation.

while this is true for the sirius permit mission (which can be aquired at systems around sirius where sirius corporation is present), this isn't possible for the engineer invitation mission as specified in the engineer description:
"they will only issue the invitation mission from their home system".
Looking for two weeks now. Get angry

I generally never carry commodities unless I'm doing a mission, but once I went to Todd to upgrade my ship and forgot that I traded rep for specials the last time I was there. Since I was too lazy to fly back, I was forced to bounty hunt with cargo. It can be done, as long as you are careful. At nav beacons, the pace is slow enough, and there's usually enough help around that you can handle it. Same for hires, as long as you avoid wings. In either situation, just be ready to jump out at any time if you get overwhelmed.
Sirius is finally handing out missions again. My Qwent invite mission was waiting for me when I docked.
No. The Qwent invite itself can only be given from the Sirius system.
The Sirius invite to the system can be gained outside it from anywhere that Sirius faction is in.
Perhaps you mixed the two up?
Not true. Trading does it even more faster.
It's the Sirius faction that is in lockdown, not the systems. Wherever the faction is, they, and only they, are in lockdown regardless of whether they are the controlling faction or not.
If players caused this, I'd just like to say thanks a lot (sarcasm intended). Seeing as it is in lockdown now, we may as well wait it out, so does anyone know how long this lasts?
Lockdowns take one day of pending to start, can last a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 14. There is a 1 day cooldown before it can occur again.
Sadly, only excessive bounty hunting could reduce the duration - ironically it does help with that rep so there's that, but you gotta be on the ball to get that permit.
except when the market is in lockdown too -.-
