Good news
I "borrowed" it...
Sorry, CMDRs.
Seriously, I noted the same - it was AWOL. I'll peek again today (today for me).
I noticed by accident because I almost exclusively find my targets with the FSS rather than taking to time to stop at the beacon. I noticed only because I couldn't "find my target" with the FSS. I had confused my systems/stacked missions. The mission in LFT926 was a delivery, not a salvage op.
CMDRs: If you're working the LP 787-52 System, be careful- TDW's INF crept upward again. It's high (72.8%) so don't sell any goods, run missions, or redeem any bounties for TDW here. If you have these items, redeem them elsewhere.
TDW's INF in LFT 926, for example, can stand to rise. It's currently just 39.9% - probably because we misplaced the nav beacon there (kidding!)
You can run a few missions for the Mikir Free faction in LP 787-52 while doing missions to support Wong Ten Democrats. That will help to moderate TDW's INF while winning the election for WTD.
Happy travels...
ps: I'm kicking myself for neglecting to check the nav beacon in LFT926 while I was working the system today.

No idea if anyone else has tried in the last day, but the nav beacon in LFT 926 was present in the navigation panel and fully functional when scanned a few minutes ago. Maybe a passing glitch?

Ok good. So strange, I've never experienced a missing nav beacon before.
Nav Beacon - I used to find it randomly disappeared when doing PP and resetting the instance constantly by going into SC and back to the NB within 30s. No rhyme or reason just sometimes it wasnt there, but the NPC ships were as usual, in different systems all over the place and very very occasionally on first entering the system. Assumed something to do with 'loading' and just a bug. Either way its not unique to that system youre all experiencing it in. Im on XB and used to weird stuff happening or not happening connected to 'graphics' or 'loading' sometimes but no idea if its my XB, my internet somehow, the server connection itself or some issue at the server end. I think I can now rule out my XB specifically if its happening to others too and on PC as well. So Im one step forwards while the rest of you are one step backwards, every cloud and all that.
Greetings, CMDRs.
Looks like we have beautifully moderated TDW's INF to a fine level in the LP 787-52 System - 66.3%. That's what I call teamwork! This means that (in this system) we can now resume concentrating only on Wong Ten Democrats winning the election* until the next Standing Orders are produced.
o7
* 4 days remain - just 2 if we take today & tomorrow successfully.

OT - Is this something TTW can sign up to? I know we are individuals and not a 'normal' faction or squadron but it seems in line with our stated aims and objectives and I hope something we can all agree on.

We're next door, preparing to expand
After this is arguably the more interesting one where we try to unlock the permit for LFT509.
Check out here for the current orders / state of play - they're updated periodically so keep an eye on this thread
We seem to have slipped back into an election in Arque and, you know what? I'm not sure I give a hoot.

Greetings, CMDRs.
Sitting at Meredith City in LFT926, I noted that the station is paying >48,000cr for silver. This can be purchased for around 33,000cr in a few systems easily within one jump range,* meaning that you can earn a >15k profit-per-unit if you're interested in commodities trades currently of benefit to TDW.

Yeah that was one heck of a jump from being aboard the yeet train...
As it is a nonnative-nonnative conflict we have no desire to see either win/lose, with the 5% INF loss to the loser they will still be plenty above the natives so that conflict (election) can be ignored - The general remarks #5 applied and explained for the benefit of those who don't BGS every day.

That's the way I saw it too.
...and why I was very happy to see those General Remarks added to the standing orders. Very useful!

Interested in combining your work on the current mining community goal (Eurybia) with TDW? Here's a suggestion...
When you've completed your mining run(s) for the CG, on your way back to TDW-lands, make a mining run into a metal-rich or metallic ring.
This can be a short surface (laser) mining trip. If you mine platinum, you can sell it at Romanenko Port in Wolf 433 for around 227k* per unit or at Meredith City in LFT 926 for around 226k* per unit and earn a pretty penny.
I have found the Pt is pretty easy to find in these rings (especially metallic). I only visited sites shown as "pristine" reserves.
Gold is also readily found in these rings and can be sold at the two ports mentioned AND at Iqbal Hub in HR 4979 too. Sell-prices are in the range of 45k to 55k per unit.
Happy Travels, CMDRs

Just got my ass back over from CEOs, after visiting Maia for some thargoid materials.
I got a hold full of stuff I’d rather not loose for brokers, but as an ally of the dark wheel from before I became double elite, I’m pitching in in the Ross system.
I have questions.
How do (we) players guide the Background Sim to promote expansion in a certain location.
I assume this is second prong of The Legion?
Who soften up the neighbouring system to make it susceptible for expansion.
Who is calling the shots for planning?
As a noob to the process (and I don’t dabble with discord...yet...this might be the “thing”
That finally does it ) I’ve been intrigued by the Raxxla mystery wanting to plaster my commander name to it, so I have all the classic suggestions. Have you tried witches reach yet
Seriously though, I had catalogued the early timeline of space flights to some degree, lave came in long after the Raxxla discovery. So I can share that data with your planners for future missions if sol doesn’t work out as hoped.
But when it comes to permits, I just finished the permit grind for the game(aside from CQC and superpower final ranks), and I know that factions in the adjacent systems still won’t issue a permit. They can be a very specific at times to stations/systems. So backtracking and encompassing failed permit systems like witches reach may be a second phase, post sol penetration.
