So those 3 "Security" Permit Systems

Reckon they'll play a part regarding the goids now??

Let alone have we any leads to uncover the requirements for the permit to be unlocked??

Would LOVE to see what's in the systems. 3 of them by the way.
 
Huh, last I heard there were only two of them. Is that a new one or just missed?

Some time ago I did take my carrier out to check one, whichever is closest to Colonia. The system map couldn't be purchased, suggesting it's just a placeholder. Maybe the others are different but someone else can spend the tritium for that answer.

Aye. There's 3.
 
Don't forget Lave 2, which used to be unlocked but is now permit-locked.
Because of a book or something. There's one out there, not sure if was Wagar's or somebody else's but they wrote about something that happened on Lave 2 and some sort of structure or something. It wasn't in the game and there was a kerfuffle. So rather than add it, FDev permit locked the planet.

As to the "Security" permit locked systems, I doubt they ever get opened and most certainly have nothing to do with this storyline.

The Col 70 Sector however...I'm betting my arx on the permit being given and it being someone related to anti-xeno activities.

The ability to buy the maps got patched out but someone went collecting them beforehand.
 
Weren't those 3 systems found by datamining the game files?
I would have to assume the answer to that is yes. They are all in the middle of relatively uninteresting space and the likelihood of someone toddling near enough to one to notice it seems impossible.

Still to find anything on what's inside or clues for the permit would be interesting no?

Oh, absolutely...but I hold no hope of that ever happening. Col 70's been locked for ages and we are now - maybe - on the precipice of that being unlocked. What chance is there for three unknown systems that 98% of the community will never visit? My suspicion is that they are for testing assets in the live game and are relatively uninteresting.

Unless Frontier were very fast with a patch this was before that, it was during the big fuss over them. Certain systems just can't have their system map data bought, I suspect because there is no system to map until someone causes the system to be generated, by player visit or by developer. I meant to confirm this by checking the permit regions that have been locked since launch but never got around to it.
 
Tempted to have a fly over there at some point and explore in the general region of one of the Security Permit Systems

Canonn need to get on this too 🤣🤣

Do you really think there is currently anything there?

Or do you think it's more likely that, as with the other permit-locked systems, they are locked so that in the future something can be added to the game and nobody will have been there yet?

In the future (we hope) there will be an update that will both add content in those systems and also unlock them. But today, if you could go there, they'd be regular run-of-the-mill systems.

As an aside, it's odd to me that so many regions are permit-locked and FDev has never made use of any of them. I mean, it seems like they could pick one of the EIGHTEEN regions that are locked and put something there just to keep up interest in the game. Just some minor thing - maybe a new non-sentient life form.

Spend a few bucks developing something like the arachnids (from Starship Troopers) and put it in, say Froadik (one of the regions) and let players spend a few months going through the obvious progression of (1) wow a new thing! (2) whoa it's killing everyone who goes near it! (3) here's how we can kill it back! (4) here's how we can make money from killing it.
 
I honestly think something's going on there. Granted I'm a console player (and considering the way the game is going........) There's probably nothing at all worth noting but still!! It's something to do at least, keep me occupied till I'm truly done with ED, till I've the funds for a PC
