Fleet Carriers Thread: PG's, Carriers and Botting

So.. the obvious question:

Will people be able to exploit Fleet Carriers by filling theire Fleet Carrier with help of alt-accounts, or just like that, with lot's of cargo and mull over BGS and Powerplay?

People might even easyly bot-script those things.

You know, load PowerPlay cargo, dock at carrier, do this with mulitiple ships. Then bring the carrier to target system and unload for maximum effect.

Legit? Problematic? Possible?

What ya thinking?

I can't see that it'd be any faster than just having the bots do it directly. An awful lot of faff and althopping to load the carrier up, one alt at a time, then jump it and offload at the other end, then refuel the thing...

Seems legit.

So the only benefit is for open-play because Fleet Carrier might help to protect the fleet in it's vicinity and it enables the fleet to get as close as possible to it's target.

Seems to be ok. So really no worries for exploits there? I wonder. But maybe right.

This.

Regardless of the specific intention, it seems like adding a Carrier into the mix is only ever going to add faff to the procedure.

Also, related to the subject of 'bots, I would imagine that the last thing anybody using 'bots would want to do is bring them all together in a way that'd allow FDev to easily see it happening and, thus, be able to ban up to 16 accounts at a time.

It's still possible that a player can load the Fleet Carrier with 16 ships of his own, just like that, without having to use different accounts. That would make abuse a bit more worthwhile...

edit: with cargo restrictions in place as they are this won't work either. So yes, it's all fool abuse-proof. ok. tricked myself there.
