You guys should consider releasing the panther clipper as a stepping stone to this. Small or medium pads and have it be a multi role instead of a focused role ship but with less capability per role. Let people own both a carrier and a panther clipper.
Not that it wouldn't be a useful thing to have but.
You could jump you Carrier to orbit alongside (or as close as possible) the station that you have called your fleet to.
I heard they were only going to be available from Ezra Point in the Enclave.
Maybe in part due to console users having to pay the console companies to use Open or Private Group.
So how will the jumping work, Once a week or any time you have the fuel?
And what do you use to leave the carrier and get the next ship?
- What are the persistence rules for the Fleet Carriers / Support Ships?
- What are the connections, if any, between Fleet Carriers and Squadrons?
- Will it be possible for other players (designated by the FC owner) to schedule a jump and/or do other management tasks connected with FC ownership?
I'm sorry, but not everything can be just role–played… :/
You'll be okay. Void opal mining is too subject to rng to be fun for my tastes, but if you read up on the leading research and try painite mining its not that bad. Check the elite miners subreddit. 256 tonnes gets you ~200 million in a couple of hours (literally about 2) and the experience is productive and very pretty.
I'd like to know if I'll be able to store more than one of my own ships, which would imply a method of ship transfer.
Will there be module storage available and transfer facility's for them.
Will remote engineering be possible on a fleet carrier.
Will the custom role 'services' mentioned be choice of things like universal cartographics, interstellar factors, search and rescue agent, black market, commodity market etc ?

One per commander?
How odd.
How odd.
We still know little about the functionality of these Fleet Carriers but from what they've shown so far I find them a lot more interesting compared to my initial idea of what they would be like.
One Carrier per player, totaly unexpected, I realy thought that they would only be available to squadrons.
Different loadouts and support vessels, I thought they would be nothing more then a portable parking lot.
They look awesome but so do many other things in ED, it comes down to their functionality, costs and the grind that's gonna be involved in getting one and maintaining one.
The fuel needed doesn't involve shooting rocks though because the FC is also available in the non Horizon version of the game.
I sure hope Fdev will handle this new feature without reverting to the so much used materials grind aspect in the game. Let us have some nice things without placing it behind a repetitive and monotonous game mechanic for a change.
Btw, I think this FC should be realy expensive, it's a capital ship and you can only have one.

Wow! This looks very interesting. And I have to give kudos to Frontier for not walling them off as MP content only. Nice to see these are usable as SP assets and not just for squadrons.
As for the release date for the next update, while I was hoping for something sooner than Sept. 18, I concede that that is a better time frame as it is just a few days away from the best season of all: autumn!
I just have trouble immersing myself in the frozen black of space while I bake in the summer heat.

Curiouser and curiouser
Wonder how much "large amount of credits" will be.
Wonder how much "large amount of credits" will be.
A plain interpretation of the text seems to indicate so. 1 carrier per commander.
Good question! If rare commodity purchase is capped by what's currently in your ship's hold, what's to stop us ferrying the capped amount back and forth to the carrier, assuming the "cargo" variant actually has any cargo space...
Might make unlocking Broo into a single trip!
[Note: "AX" variant will need a Corrosion Resistant Cargo Rack option.
