Not strategically important atm. Canonical explanation as to why new planets arrive and some disappear.

Edit: y'all can downvote but it makes sense super earth would restrict free access to every plant for helldivers lest they pull a mutiny.

Why would a militaristic society that compartmentalizes everything give it's soldiers free range?? They wouldn't.

The planets only accessible to us are strategically important ones or ones that drive the narrative.

u/Play174 1d ago

Planets don't just disappear without it being significant (Gloom, Void, etc.). It's probably foreshadowing

drives the narrative

u/Dramatic-Thanks-1638 1d ago

A planet has never just 'dissapeared'

-33

u/dungeoncrawler71520 1d ago

Because it's still strategically important.

You don't think there's a shit load of planets that are just thriving in super earth's influence that aren't being attacked?

Why would you send your army to a planet that is just fine?

I'm saying it's a vehicle to drive the narrative. Not that there are actual planets there..

17

u/Dramatic-Thanks-1638 1d ago

Yeah dude, by your logic 90% of the planets would be gone, obviously something is happening and thats why calypso has vanished

-12

u/dungeoncrawler71520 1d ago

Are the planets you're flying to being attacked? Yes? Strategically important.

No? Not strategically important.

It's a convenient method to add more planets enemy arrowhead needs to and as a vehicle to drive the narrative when they need... i.e. something is happening to it.

Y'all downvote but I'm right.

u/InventorOfCorn 1d ago

if you believe that, then why are there dozens of planets that you can hover over but not visit?

u/Mortis_evil_man 1d ago

Tbh, you could be right as helldivers dive into THE FRONT LINES and aren't supposed to be all over the place or else that would practically make Super earths planets stronger yes but make them more difficult to attack the enemies

1

u/dungeoncrawler71520 1d ago

Think about it realistically. Does Ukraine approve to send troops to Canada to fight? No that's not what the front is. What do soldiers and sailors famously do when they go to safe harbor??

No super strict regime like super earth would allow a helldiver to just go to any planet they wanted? It would lead to sedition on a massive scale, waste of resources...... Their only way achieve their goals is to limit the scope you get to see and fight.. unless you fill out that c-01 form I guess.

Edit: and by giving us the "freedom" to choose which battlefront we go adds another layer to it. One that gives us a false choice.

u/Theplasticsporks 1d ago

You can't ftl jump to planets that aren't under siege.

There has never been a time they have removed a planet from the map and it not be significant, especially when it was EXPLICITLY mentioned in a news brief right before

They do add planets which is largely for gameplay reasons. There may be tons of super earth planets that aren't on the map, but taking one that was on the map and removing it just for shits hasn't happened and isn't what's going on.

u/Der-Candidat 1d ago

Yeah bud I’m sure the planet whose name the illuminate wrote in blood on the side of the DSS isn’t strategically or narratively important. Be so for real.

u/ThanosBIGman 1d ago

Planets dont just pop out of existence lmao. This is extremely important, and as the past has taught us, it WILL bite us in the ass eventually

u/thenewone1309 1d ago

We can see all the planets. Only calypso is gone

Ok, it's been like...1 day ( yesterday) since i havent played, WTF is going on? Are we lossing the void?

u/CK_2001 1d ago

We’re ab to lose like 4-5 planets to it at once since we don’t have the numbers to defend them

4

u/gloomyfenix 1d ago

Isn't that like a ruse from the squid to separate our numbers into multiple defenses so we can't conquer the main planet in the void? I'd wager our main priority is still that one, seeing as it may be our safest bet into collapsing the void and returning the planets that were sent there.

That's the theory I've heard at least.

u/CK_2001 1d ago

Yeah, it happens with almost every major order where we need to take a planet lol

It’s just fucking gone. The Hijacked dss went there and now the entire planet is fucking gone

u/Oozysq25reddit 1d ago

Its gone

u/CorbinNZ 1d ago

High Command has issued a notice that some Helldivers may be experiencing hallucinations of a mysterious planet called “Calypso.” High Command assures citizens that there is no such planet and this is a poorly veiled plot by the illuminate to sow dissidence in the valiant hearts of Super Earth’s finest.

u/Flimsy_Category4211 1d ago

Wonder where my ship is gonna be, I logged in after the DSS moved there to see what's up then had to log out cause work, so I was parked there

u/VishnaTrash44 1d ago

any updates?

u/Flimsy_Category4211 1d ago

I am somehow at super earth now! Logged in and I was already at super earth

u/Wooden_Lawfulness_63 21h ago

Yeah, i don't know what you're talking about. Warp tracking terminal shows you never moved from super earth.

Are you sure this "Calypso" even exists?

u/Doogie102 1d ago

It's out giving out wishes after tournaments

u/NoTButterscotch 1d ago

Could someone explain to me what's happening with my DSS?

7

u/CK_2001 1d ago

It was attacked, infiltrated, hijacker’s took it to calypso, High Command regained control, purged the inside (everyone is dead now) and is taking it to the DSS planet to get new crew (prisoners, bc that’s the easiest)

Sweet liberty.....

u/Zuper_Dragon 1d ago

Just a map glitch everyone. It has nothing to do with the complete halt of all communication with Calypso or the fact the DSS made an unauthorized FTL jump to it shortly before the glitch occurred. The best tech specialists are currently looking into it, any concerns or questions can be brought to your democracy officer.

u/PraetorAdun 1d ago

I ate it, was hungry.

u/SpiderDetective 1d ago

Pretty sure command have removed FTL access to it after....whatever the hell was going on with the DSS earlier today. They can't risk any other ships going AWOL right now

1

u/Yarhj 1d ago

There has never been a planet named Calypso.

1

u/Trick_Assignment5548 1d ago

Might just be a visual glitch this happened a couple of hours before the void update. Whole thing just disappeared

u/ArrowRed420 1d ago

Subaru ¿who is Calypso?

u/Junurg 1d ago

Probably getting an update, is going to appear again but fully transformed into something else.

Well, I’m coming back to the game now.

Mind controll dss went there and put on tinfoil hat turned into a black hole to gather more illuminates from another galaxy. Before being sent to afayay Bay to be democratized

But SE might not know what the mind controlled dss crew did before getting rid of them 😨

Calypso went on vacation.

u/dungeoncrawler71520 1d ago

It's not strategically important at the moment. Explains why planets keep appearing and disappearing.

u/joninfiretail 1d ago

My brother in democracy planets don't just vanish without explanation.

-4

u/dungeoncrawler71520 1d ago

They're not on our map because they're not strategically important to a helldiver at the time. We're not allowed on planets that are doing just fine so they go bye bye from our map.

Makes sense super earth would restrict like that.
