Weird in game update - normal world turned into permit only world

Was doing delivery and source item missions yesterday to build up some minor factions, and didn't see any patch/server side update notice - but I saw this weird in-game change happen live.

Had done several dockings that day at system Ebor, planetside base Santarem's Folly. Then on my 4th run or so, as I approached planet got message was 'dropping too close' and that a permit was needed to visit this planet.

Logged in/out, restarted game, same thing. Far as 'new' ED-universe is concerned for me, this ordinary, formerly non-restricted planet is now a permit only planet and I can't visit that base for missions or picking up items there for source missions.

Maybe it's this one world only, maybe it's some weird personal bug due to combination of factors that make it not happen for other players, but it is darn inconvenient as that is the closest planet to Diaguandri with a good number of items you can buy to satisfy a lot of source XXX missions.

Maybe it's been taken over by Thargoid advance agents or sympathizers.

are you sure you didn't start up the non-horizons version of ED? ;-)

Actually, that's similar to what I first thought. Generally think horses instead of zebras when I hear hooves.

So thought either I started non-horizons 64bit, or something bugged out re: my planetary lander module. But nope - I was able to divert to any other planet and land just fine - it was only this formerly non-restricted, generic planet that suddenly because permit-only in the same game session I was just landing on it before.

It's a bit away from where I am, but I can plot a route to Santarem's Folly with no issues, so I don't think Ebor 2 needs a permit.

I'm 30,500 LY from the bubble but I checked my galaxy map. It has neither a red ring that other permit planets (i.e. Triton) had nor any mention of it on the system map.

Bug maybe?

Bugreport and see if it is "intended"... If so well done for finding it so quick, get your name on something and make a galnet article :D

So I'll add a bug report since it's obviously now a personal bug ---> went back today to same planet to see if issue was still there, and it was.

Went back to nearby home system and changed ships to do some other tasks. Went back to same world and tried again and now could land without permit. Either the changing ship solved it, or some combo of the bug was attached to my old ship.

Just another weird ED interaction I guess.

Would be cool if some areas were actually off limits to certain ships.
Imagine a place with no Cutters, Corvettes or Anacondas. :)

"Ebor, planetside base Santarem's Folly" not permit locked according to my system map.
You need to quit the launcher as well, out to desktop properly. Then retry.
I have some friends who had the same issue.
