ANNOUNCEMENT Gamescom Reveals - Fleet Carrier Details

[DragonIV]

I'm pleasantly surprised, and I do believe I'm going to go mining painite again in the very near future.

 

[Gully Foyle]

Thank you Cmdr Paige. :O

I am Commander Kzak, and this is my favorite post in the Citadel.

Dublin Citadel, in Gateway! We have Eire on tap.

I'd like to have it confirmed that it's actually available for pilots who fly in solo.

One per CMDR - seems pretty clear to me. As your CMDR can change modes at will, so will your carrier. Anyway, those sound like a pretty cool addition, would be interesting to know how easy/expensive it is to change their role.

 

[CMDR Surdra]

Purchasable with a large amount of credits

How much so I know when to start mining like a madman? Give us a ballpark plz!

Looks good! This leads me to believe all carriers have 16 pads. While definitely a good start...it seems like overkill if I just want a smaller, cheaper carrier with just a couple small pads for my friends and I to mess around with exploring or shooting up a CZ. I'm sure you guys have all kinds of plans though so I guess we'll wait and see. Looking forward to this and great work as always!!

oh heeelll yeah!!!

 

[Jonuss]

So it's No Man's Sky's fleet system but in Elite and with more grind?

 

[Iron Body]

Can it defend itself ? Hate to lose a whole fleet in one go.

• Commanders can choose a number of loadouts for their Fleet Carrier, governing services/module and ship availability to support a number of different activities, such as:
  • Bounty Hunter
  • Mercenary
  • Pirate
  • Trader
  • Smuggler
  • Miner
  • Explorer
  • Search and Rescue

no goid hunter? that's potentially disappointing.

That is an excellent idea. It would be awesome to have carriers with special anti Thargoid defenses and support vehicles.

One or two Void Opal runs.

Fleet Carriers for solo commanders - exactly as I hoped but honestly did not expect.

Color me surprised Frontier, it looks real sharp. 2019 is shaping up to be a year of pleasant surprises.

Solo players are a sizable group and should get AI npc crew for multiplayers :}

edit for KlariTy

They said on the stream carriers will be indestructible.

"Unique resource to fuel" eagle feathers?

Fish

4...3...2...1...HYPE-DRIVE ENGAGED!

 

[Monoceros]

Need to wait for info on this, can they take damage for a start. For me the personal ownership does not make sense - maybe just me....

 

[babelfisch]

Looks good. Most important question is how fuel requirements get balanced between individual CMDRs and Squadrons. I think it shouldn't become too grindy but you should also need to be dedicated if you want to own and operate your own carrier.

 

[epicbubble]

So let me see if i understand this.

We are getting:

Schedule jumps from the Galaxy Map

server tick jumps

One Fleet Carrier per Commander

and no way for squadron members to pitch in in order to buy one of these?

I really hope i'm wrong here.

 

[CokaCola]

"fleet carriers"

everyone uses it in solo

SCREAMING FROM FDEV HQ

 

[FolcoTook]

So... first question I'd like to see answered (when more info is presented) is where in systems do they jump to? Can you move them within systems to a specific point?

Looks great though, don't read as a complaint, just first of many curious questions.

 

[TheSisko]

The voice of a trillion trillion void opals were suddenly silenced.

With a Mining Support Vessel, no Void Opal will be safe.

That is an excellent idea. It would be awesome to have carriers with special anti Thargoid defenses and support vehicles.

Guardian SRVs confirmed then. AXI skins. AI npc crew for solo players. A pub on the Officers deck.
