Can I just ask....is this just for Beta?
Will this offer carry over to the main game?
I think I know the answer but thought I'd ask anyway....thx

The beta blowout offer is only available in the beta.
Yes...because thats frontiers issue of not having enough systems to get them from.... Howmany populated systems in the galaxy can you buy other ships from, howmany populated systems in the galaxy in general and you telling me only a handful would produce fleet carriers? Also after the initial boom of sales this will stop. Think of a big sale at a well known shop its packed full of customers but eventually dies down.
Would you be happy in that shop introducing a decommissioning just because they cant handle the customer flow?
It has nothing got to do with carriers filling up a system its got to do with grind they want you to keep playing and paying for something that isnt at all worth it, without decommissioning the carriers would also leave these systems faster as players would be spending less time grinding the money to have them survive in their save rather than leaving them there to see howlong they have until they have to buy them again
Will they put you back where you were on april 30 cause I got a boatload of Explo data and i'm about halfway to Colonia. Not losing all that tiime and data to joyride in a glorified expensive taxi cab.

Live Game and Beta are >entirely< different entities.
Your live game isn't affected by anything you do in the Beta in the slightest.
In the Beta, do whatever you want. Suicide. Even Clear Save if you want to experience or test it. Doesn't matter.
(just don't ever confuse the two
... make darn sure you've launched the Beta if you feel the urge to experiment or do funny stuff you wouldn't ever do with your life Game CMDR)
(just don't ever confuse the two
Can't argue with that. If you find your ship located where you left it in the real game then you probably aren't in the Beta.
Beware the Clean Save button...Can't argue with that. If you find your ship located where you left it in the real game then you probably aren't in the Beta.
Oooo I got Gring! how bout you?

After an entire day of trying I finally got a spot in one of these, appreciate it. I feel like they really need to deal with the loitering of carriers in admin systems. I hope its not like this when this goes live.Hey guys: Some Carrier Administration systems in the Bubble:

Probably won't be as bad for several reasons;
Carriers will be available for longer than a few weeks.
Not everyone who got one in the beta will want one in live.
Some in the beta cashed in fleets of ships to find the credits this is less likely in live.
That said it is possibly going to be pretty bad especially as the malicious amongst us will probably lurk there to just cause such troubles.
Can't they just make every system a carrier administration system for the purposes of the beta only. It is hard to test all the features when I can't get them.
For that, they may need to do another beta, which may not be a bad idea. One thing I noticed today is the carrier kinda doesn't disappear with the jump-cloud thing...it goes through, but if you fly past the cloud, the carrier is just sitting there till the jump happens...then it vanishes. I'd think it'd be intended that as it goes into the cloud, it disappears since, from one side, it looks like the carrier is entering hyperspace gradually. Anyways, always an awesome sequence to watch.
I'm with The Yamiks and his "Remove the upkeep" take.
Sure it's Immersive. However, if people are selling fleets to buy one, what makes you think they'll be able to keep it for very long?
The frustration will just set in sooner of not having all your old fav ships to park on the FC. I see some complaining 5 Billion is hard to obtain, while I would argue 1 billion is hard to obtain, and even more would come in with 1 million is hard to obtain.
The Yamiks mentioned - once you're able to buy and upgrade one let that be your badge of game completion by removing a weekly upkeep. I agree with that and think it fits more with the rest of the game because my crew on my ship is always there. They are happy to serve under my command and they signed on knowing they get paid as WE get paid.
Upgrades to the ship should be the only cost besides fuel. Once it's yours it's yours! This would make those 5 month treks around the galaxy a lot more fun and involved without the added salt of "I HAVE to log into Elite and spend hours grinding today because I bought the Fleet Carrier".

I purchased a fleet carrier and the process of outfitting seems so wrong , when making an order the logical way might be to order the fleet carrier and all the fleet modules in one order . I collected my fleet carrier and tried to find an administration system to outfit modules and after 3 days wasting hours not one vacant spot . I bookmarked each admin system and spammed without any luck . It seems someone will have to face the pollution global warming demons one day and it is not me this time .
2315 CDT Sunday 24 May 2020. Beta is pretty much over, most who wanted to try a carrier have.
June will reveal just how many carriers will be in game. Does anyone expect an increase in carrier popularity?

You bookmarked all of these? I stopped by LTT 1598 last night, was only a few carriers in system.
