Elite Dangerous commanders have encountered a bug preventing them from obtaining the Alioth Permit through the usual system, 78 Ursae Majoris. This permit is essential for accessing the Alioth system and progressing in the game. Community reports reveal that traveling to the nearby Vasilyev Vision system, where the Alioth Independents faction appears as a minor faction, triggers the mission for the permit. Multiple players have confirmed this workaround, suggesting an inconsistency in faction presence or mission triggers in the standard location. Commanders aiming to reach Alioth should consider this alternative route until an official fix is deployed.
- Workaround involves visiting Vasilyev Vision system.
- Alioth Independents faction presence triggers permit mission.
