ANNOUNCEMENT Gamescom Reveals - Fleet Carrier Details

[Robert Maynard]

Yep... people need to rein in the solo pilot with their entire fleet stored on a carrier until there is confirmation that there is rearm, refuel, repair... and shipyard.

A player with a number of altCMDRs would do fine without a shipyard.

 

[vinnieboJ]

sure, but it brakes pp and bgs, and when this big boy comes, it allow even more harm done

Ah, I don't care much for the PP or BGS stuff. Just a lone CMDR out in the Void, minding his own business. But i can see why someone who is investeed in those things finds Solo a bad thing, in combination with a FC.

 

[Rebel Yell]

I have only one question:



CAN WE ROB THIS BOAT?

 

[Niewitch]

definitely understandable, there is no need to take it out totally, just change, so that solo should not give possibility to affect pp or bgs. so it still would give peace of mind if someone wants it, put wont allow harm done to those aspect with total invincible

 

[hems303]

One or two Void Opal runs.

One or two ''thousand'' Void Opal runs. .... there ya go.. fixed it for you.

Joking aside... this all looks real good!!!!

 

[Bob McBobblehead]

The trading carrier should be useful for events like the recent one in the Witch Head Nebula. Stock up on berry and other commodities then head out.

 

[FolcoTook]

I guess it might run on Lavian Brandy.

Centauri Mega-Gin. Though you'll have to fight Cecil for it. And there's the flight from Alpha Centauri to Proxima....

 

[vinnieboJ]

definitely understandable, but this is why solo should not give possibility to affect pp or bgs. so it still would give peace of mind if someone wants it, put wont allow done hard totally invincible to those aspect of game

Weren't there talk about making it that CMDR's in Solo have a reduced impact on BGS or PP? I thought that was mentioned somewhere??

 

[cheesenbiscuits]

Don’t forget to include the Ship Transfer function on these.
I don’t see them having Shipyards as such, but you’ll struggle to get your fleet on to one without that.

"Commanders can choose a number of loadouts for their Fleet Carrier, governing services/module and ship availability to support a number of different activities"
Seems to suggest a shipyard with limited ship types depending on your chosen loadout.

No, thats about PP.

 

[CMDR Daniel 'Dan' Chou]

Can we just talk about the music though? Please tell me that you'll put that soundtrack in the game/release the soundtrack.

 

[vinnieboJ]

No, thats about PP.

Ah okay.

Non the less, I'm psyched for Fleet Carriers!

 

[Mxpower76]

More module storage if you own a carrier?

 

[Olivia Vespera]

Hello~ this is really cool. I wish I was back in the bubble to test this out. I would definitely like to see how these custom loadouts work

 

[EUS]

So is the "ownership" and "operations" jpegs showing the modifiable support ship?

 

[Wrecked]

YEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!

 

[Ian Skippy]

Hello~ this is really cool. I wish I was back in the bubble to test this out. I would definitely like to see how these custom loadouts work

Hey, wait, hold on. You only get carriers in the bubble? COLONIA REVOLT NOW!

 

[vinnieboJ]

Don't know. might need to purchase them somewhere. but no information on that yet.

 

[PKSeven]

I was expecting Fleet Carriers tied to Squadrons, but for individual commanders; very intriguing. I hope we can stockpile a reasonable amount of the carrier fuel.

The game has, from the outset, been designed to permit every player to affect the single shared galaxy state, regardless of game mode (and, subsequently, platform). PvP is, of course, possible in two of the three game modes - but remains an optional feature, just like other players are.

Frontier's stance on this has not changed in over six years.
