Empire permits.... are they worth the effort?

Postby JohnLuke » Sat Sep 26, 2015 5:28 pm

I've been thinking about doing BB missions to get the Empire permits for Achenar, Summerland, and Facece, but after doing some research I haven't found any advantage in having them.

Am I missing something? What do these systems offer that is so special?

Thanks! ;)

Wouldn't know, JL

After 6 months play I am yet to be offered ANY Empire ranks at all, never mind permits.

In a word, no. There is nothing special about these systems, so unless there is a CG that involves them, there is no advantage to being able to go there.

I have Achenar permit but it doesn't add something, I first got my Sol permit just to see the beautiful stations but now I'm sleeping in one almost every night and that one does not need a permit :)

Thanks for the info, guys. I won't bother trying to gain access to those stations. Disappointing, FD. :(

It is kind of funny.. Achenar is supposed to be the seat of the Empire.. but Mobius's station is more fancy than any of them in Achenar.

So..... apparently I'm a moron. I am pretty darn sure that I checked my permits about a month ago, and I didn't have any.

I haven't done any missions specifically related to permits, so when the hell did all of this happen???

Are you allied with the power? that is supposedly how I got Achenar

I can go to Summerland now.. I guess because I got Baron?

Got to remember that as well as the system permits, it also allows you to buy the Courier and the Clipper once you've reached the appropriate rank :)

Same happened with me, I think you get them when you rank up. Some of the bulletin board missions improve your federal or imperial ranking. IMHO Alioth & Sol are definitely worth having. One advantage with all of them is that you'll be allied with all the factions within system so you'll have a lot more mission choices on the bulletin board.
