Fleet Carrier Ship Limit

[D196]

Can you jump all of your ships from your carrier? Meaning can I park all of my ships on my carrier and then jump them together to a location?

 

[Witcher 7]

I assume so; otherwise, it'll be pretty stupid right?

There will be a limit on number of docked ships though - 4 for each size iirc.

 

[Nasc]

I want to see that.
Someone jumping in a fleet carrier, showing it off, fsd charge and bang! Gone. The only thing left is an fsd wake and a bunch of ships twirling in the darkness.

I wouldn't count your eggs so fast.

"Did you see FDev released Multicrew, SRVs and SLFs?"

"Awesome, can't wait to drive SRVs and fly SLFs with a mate joining me on my ship."

"Well . . . "

How can I not remember the excitement pre 2.3 update when Corvette owners were getting friend invites so they can become bus drivers

I'm giving FDev the benefit of doubt because:

• they postponed FC last year to iron out "issues";
• pretty certain FC will function similarly to mega ships where every one needs to be on board before a specified time every week to jump together.

I suspect the main issue they had in 2018 was a lack of any significant new content for 2019.

Thus, problem solved!

They could have just postponed ice worlds for this year which btw there's still no new...

I'm assuming that's the "carrier" part.

Does anyone know offhand the size of the skeleton crew working on ED? In a company with about 100 developers, a skeleton crew is usually around 10 or under. We're also not paying them. Maybe if we start whipping them or complain louder they'd work faster.

I wondered why they listed the number of different dock sizes so prominently - does that indicate how many ships you can have present at a time? That's kinda what happens at outposts..

I assume thats info for squadrons. I expect the capacity to be infinite since thats the simplest solution FD could do.

Don't know if I follow that? They're personal carriers now. We will find out later, I'm sure you'll be right.

Well, unless a player can land eight corvettes, four vultures and four eagles at the same time then thats info for multiplayer really IMO. If it was for solo players only you'd only need one large pad as thats the max landable ship size.

Hmm, good point. But 16 players max is a small squadron, more like a wing carrier...

True, which is why I have problems with the concept of carriers as is- they seem to me to be a compromise to everyone (which is understandable). If the carrier has infinte ship storage then the problem goes away really.

Yeah, it's 0.
They don't have a skeleton crew.
Stop spreading misinformation.

What skeleton crew is that?

The skeletons raised by all those thread necromancers we had lately I guess

I’d imagine it will operate like a moveable player owned station,so no limit to the number of ships.

I see Eurogamer are saying max 16 players / carrier. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/...ows-off-long-awaited-16-player-fleet-carriers

Wild guessing, pad counting or insider information - it's your call...

(Looks to me like they just added up the pads and made a wild guess)
