Maybe it's just me but I experienced some weirdness on this weekend's community events.
1. After completing the task (250 Pugneum) and attempting to leave the event planet through the marked Portal (the one through which I arrived), the Portal journey would always loop back to the event planet. There would be the normal sounds and animation, then the "your Portal journey is about to end" sound would play, and then the "Portal travel" sound and animation would begin again. Shortly thereafter (seemed longer) I'd pop out back on the event planet instead of the Portal in the originating system. Tried several times (I'm stubborn) with the same results. Tried calling in a different ship, same results. Tried jetpacking through the Portal, etc. Finally gave up and reloaded a saved game.
2. New game, started from a different solar system and therefore a different originating Portal. Completed the mission and successfully traveled back to the originating system through the Portal. Just one small problem. On both the Portal loops above (Portal-1.jpg), on this time through using the reload from the same save slot (Portal-2.jpg), and on the trip back from the event starting from a different save slot (Portal-3.jpg) after exiting the Portal the ship I was using ended up somewhere else in the galaxy. A very long walk. Fortunately I was able to summon the ship, get to the Anomaly, and finish the mission.
Be 100% sure that your ship's launch thrusters are full before entering the Portal to travel to the event or at least know that you have a spare ship that you can summon. A player with only one ship and not enough in the tank is screwed.
3. The "Portal travel" sound was stuck on after returning through the Portal from the event. Minor, compared to the other issues but annoying nonetheless.
