MAJOR issue with fleet carriers. Cant restock.

I have found a big oversight about fleet carriers. If your carrier is not in a system where they are sold, then you can not stock, or restock the services you have installed on your ship.

The problem with this is, if the systems are full of carriers, then I cant jump mine in to restock.
Particularly in the case of colonia, with only 1 system selling carriers, it would be easy to block others from resupplying.

There is an easy fix for this, which is already a part of the game. Transfer times. Make it so that when you resupply from someplace outside the system selling carriers, that it would take time for the stock to reach you.
Ships and bought modules already have transit times, so why not the restock of the carrier?

Side point, any mobile business today can order and have delivered what they need for their work.

You can use Carrier Administration systems to update them as well.

In Colonia, they have added these to
  • Ratraii
  • Deriso
  • Tir
  • Asura
  • Luchtaine

(In the bubble there's a lot of them around)

Well, there's also the Galaxy Map Filter "Services" , which now has "Carrier Administration" as a new Option.

However, it seems non-functional. Shows no System in the bubble for all I can tell. Was the same during Beta btw. and was reported as an issue.

Just guessing here, but other services only show in the filter when you have personally been there - and it is not updated retroactively.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. That's what I fear as well.
Similar to Mat Traders, these Restrictions never made any sense. Zero benefit, tons of downsides.

Galaxy will give real-time Info about Governments, Faction States or Economy over any distance...
...but high-demand Info like Carrier Vendors or Administration Systems (or Mat Traders for what it's worth)? Nope.

IMHO that should go and be brought in line with all other Galaxy Map Filters.
No System Map Data required, no visits required, no distance limitations.

Carrier Presence Filter for example works like that - and luckily it does.
Imagine having only displayed Carriers in Systems you've previously visited and only within a small distance... that'd render the Filter almost entirely useless as well.
