Updated Permit List

Might be a good idea to add the ranks required for Fed/Imperial permits

Sol - Midshipman
Beta Hydri - Petty Officer
PLX 695 - Chief Petty Officer
Ross 128 - Warrant Officer
Vega - Ensign
Hors - Lieutenant
Exbeur - Lieutenant Commander

Achenar - Master
Summerland - Lord
Facece - Count
 
You may get the permits before you get the respective rank - I had my Vega permit before becoming Ensign, and think (can't check atm) I have Exbeur although I am still at Lieutenant.
 
Did someone try to get the system permit for Luyten 347-14? I was interested since the system is apparently a prison system. I am now friendly with Luyten 347-14 Prison Colony, but they don't trust me enough to give me the permit (which I see the mission for in the Bulletin Board). Do I have to be allied with them? Is that possible?

Somebody said that I have to make good my reputation with the Federation before I can visit Sol, yet as of the time of writing this will mark my second visit to Earth. I took a screen shot on the way in showing that the permit system is operating on my copy of the game, but yet does not show my needing a permit to visit Sol. The only editing that has taken place on this image is my putting the Sirius permit requirement over the Sol map image so show that the permit element is operational.

Do you have the Mercenary Edition? If I'm not mistaken, the Sol permit was included with that.
 
Yes, and that explains it. I do have the Mercenary Edition, Commander. A couple of posts back somebody said that it made no difference at all what edition I had, I could not visit Sol without a permit. Thanks for confirming that. What else does the Mercenary Edition give me access too?

You are mistaken, it is not.

just an Paint job for Sidey, Adder, Viper and Cobra. And free ship, the Eagle couple jumps away from starting location.
 
For those interested in a Crom permit:

The Silver Boys are currently at war in Bunuras. It appears they may be able to take a station of their own with enough support. It also offers the opportunity to earn Rep without having to do missions... so it's a bit of a change.

Information current at time of posting, which was only because I happened to park there for the 1.2.06 update ;]

Thank you for this! I've been waiting for another system to do that since I used that method to get into Terra Mater when they went into civil war in Hecate.

Have you actually been able to gain rep with the Silver Boys this way? I turned in 750k of combat bounties and didn't even get the little blue up arrow next to "neutral" to let me know it's working. I'll be :( if it's bugged.
 
I'd done some missions. Was friendly. Turned in about half a mil of vouchers, got Allied. Got permit.

I can't be 100% sure there was not something else going on in the background... But since I was Friendly, sold the vouchers, and was then Allied (I checked before and after) I'm going to go with the correlation is strong and causation can be suspected.
 
Edmondson High (Beta Hydri) does NOT have 10% discount on a lot of ship weapons. I have just checked and all the prices are normal. Eagle does have 10% discount there.

So here's something interesting. Was browsing the game data to settle a wiki dispute over whether the listed ship "cutter" was different from the empire_fighter (it is), and came across handy dandy file called Permits.ovi. Here's what I gleaned out. Much of this lines up with our existing list. Some we might have missed. Others look like region permits, or don't make any sense to me as labeled. Wrapped in a spoiler tag because it's a long list.

Can someone list the ones that were missed so I can add to the overall list?
