well the launcher would be the tool to tell you. Also, doesn't galnet ingame tell it? but not sure, haven't checked galnet recently.

Checks local news...
Nope, but the locals seem to keep a good archive. I can read about some civil war that broke out here on 01 Jun 3301.
Other than that, nothing apparently ever happened in the System I'm in right now.
I guess that's why I never read it, so I'll leave it to others to "De-Compromise" some Carrier Signals.
Anyway, never saw an actual Carrier in the Galaxy (despite many Bulletin Missions claiming to originate from a Carrier Signal), so that's a mystery all by itself

Uh, pretty sure they mean actual "carrier signals". So you wouldn't see them, it just means that whatever was supposed to send news is broken in one way or another. I blame infrastructure budget cuts.
Good catch. I posted nearly the same thing above.
If you could power your FSD with complaining, you could get to Sag A in one jump from this post.

Well, that's in no way mysterious is it? Could it all be a trap though or will it be something nice...Who knows!? Well, Zac and some other folk at Frontier probably know but other than that...Who knows!?
Could just be some space-cats walking across somebody's comm keyboard.

Hm, a Signal that ends up in the local news then. Weird.
Either way, someone will sure stumble over one earlier or later...
Maybe a Federation or Empire thing then I guess. Not aware of Alliance or Independents having any Carrier presence nor ownership.
PS.
If it's a "Carrier Distress Call", let's just hope it's not asking for Fuel
Fuel Rat : Captain, how much do you need?
Carrier : about 1500 tons
Fuel Rat : 0.o

There will be no cheating.
It's not about ship carriers, it's not a ship at all, it's a signal.Hm, a Signal that ends up in the local news then. Weird.

It's an error message. Your ship is telling you it was supposed to receive something, but lost the connection for some reason, on a really low (as in, bare metal) level. It's unlikely any actual carriers are involved.
Gosh, I need a rest.
Edit: if your home router has logs, it's quite likely they mention carrier signals, too. Do you think that your internet provider lives on an aircraft carrier? Don't answer if you actually live on an aircraft carrier.
Edit 2: I probably sound grumpier in this post than I want to. I blame my headache. I'm just trying to explain why such a thing could possibly show up in someone's "news feed" (though in real life that would look totally different, like "message unreadable, look here for more details", or it would just be casually dumped without a mention beyond some logs somewhere, but hey, flavor text). And probably failing at it. Explaining, that is.

The need to point the community in the right direction, coming directly from developers, certainly shows how MANY of the people actually care.
