A community report highlights a route planner issue affecting commanders using carriers about 1000 light years from the bubble near Hawkins Gap. The planner sometimes shows an 'unable to plot route permit is missing' error despite no locked systems being present. Alternatively, it may calculate routes starting from a location inside the bubble rather than the carrier's actual position. This inconsistency can disrupt navigation and route planning for deep space exploration, especially when operating far from known space with carriers. Players relying on the route planner should be aware of these potential inaccuracies as of late October 2026.
- Error message appears despite no locked systems nearby.
- Routes may start from incorrect locations inside the bubble.
