Horizons Unknown Permit Sysems, blocking route plotting

[ravenstar68]

The latest update appears to have added a new rash of Unknown Permit Systems, presumably for future storyline additions.

However these unknown permits are blocking easy access to places like VY Canis Majoris, and also for long distance Passenger missions to Fiery Sky - Which requires traversal through the same sector of space.

I seriously think that FD need to seriously consider the effects of suddenly adding permit locked systems like this. It has a negative impact on users experience, especially when you've been through that region of space with no issues before now.

Just to add to my last post. It looks like the whole COL 70 region is off limits. I was trying to navigate from Pomeche to V380 Oronis. I ended up getting close and then navigating through the COL69 sector.

Col 70 has been permit locked for ages, at least as long as I have been playing. There is a list of permit locked systems somewhere, ah here;

The number of permit locked regions does indeed seem to have increased since the last time I checked;

Yeah, and my mom told me I couldn't ride my bike through my neighbor's yard.
