Players in Elite Dangerous Odyssey have reported a bug where engineer bases unexpectedly treat them as hostile, even with no negative reputation or notoriety. Upon approaching these bases, commanders are fired upon immediately, preventing docking and interaction with engineers. This issue affects multiple engineers and can block access to critical upgrades and crafting options, hindering gameplay progression. The problem was highlighted by a community report on October 26, 2026, raising concerns about unintended faction hostility mechanics in the expansion.
- Hostility occurs despite zero notoriety or negative reputation.
- Prevents docking and accessing engineer upgrades.
