Wait, they changed that? 'cause I did exactly that in the beta. I jumped the carrier to the main star by accident, then once the cooldown was over I jumped it again to put it around the planet I was mining. It worked fine.
Fleet carriers are a epic fail in one word

For as long as there's Cheaters in the Game and this Player-owned Asset is persistent across all Modes and Platforms.... Indestructible is the only way to go.
Carriers can still perform in-System Jumps, nothing changed.
I still see "set Carrier Destination" when I look around the System Map bodies via Carrier Management Plotting, so it could jump to any Body I select.
(btw. I already parked mine on a selected position inside the System nearest to the Station where I needed it)

So Elite isn't Eve yet?
Good.
Good.
I don’t plan to grind for one but I will get one eventually. And I fail to see how wanting to take multiple ships to deep space, for instance, or fly to Colonia or back with a small personal fleet, or invade an enemy’s space and park a mobile platform on his doorstep, a vanity item. There does need to be some way for others to counter its presence during conflicts, I agree.
Speaking of conflicts, your EDF Colonia offshoot, EEF, lost it’s eponymous system up there, and the very planetary base with your name on it is in the hands of anarchists. But tell me the name Viktor’s Promise wasn’t conceived with vanity in mind haha.
I suppose different people. When i talk about ED just about everyone i know says "What?" then i have to start talking about the original Elite first, then they will say "Oh yeah, i remember playing that on the Spectrum/BBC/whatever", and then that's about it. EvE just never really comes up in conversation. Games like CoD, BF, Overwatch, Fortnite, AC, LoL, etc.... yeah, they know about those games and their communities.
I actually thought about that too, but given thats 40+ jumps, with a delay of 20 minutes each, id rather go fly there the old fashioned way...
At any rate, i do like those things being mobile repair stations, so you dont have to carry decontamination limpets around anymore, but other than that
i too dont find theese things all that useful, or that they provide any additional gameplay really.

I have to admit, I rushed in like a fool and got 3 of these things, now their upkeep costs are crippling me. I've had to sell all my Cobra MkIV's to pay for it, so now I don't need the bloody carriers. This would never have happened in Open Only.
There, I think I covered all bases.

At my current fleet size, if I wanted to move to Colonia then buying a carrier, loading everything onto it, jumping it there and then transferring everything off and decommissioning the carrier at the other end would actually be cheaper than transferring everything using the existing mechanics.
It has a purpose. Its a mobile base for miners to park near some rings, and load up a full load of ore to go and sell later. The upkeep is a tad expensive. I'm ok with saving up for additional modules but upkeep...
You also can park in systems you want to impact for trading, or a hub to start exploring from. It just gave us some freedom. It wasn't meant for combat.

It can, just target a different body on the FC's system map.
Also imagine finding a good deal on a large amount of goods.. buying a massive load of it... then jumping to a system with a high price. Ferrying to sell it etc
How astonishing it is that Frontier are still developing the game for the players they said they were developing the game for even before it was released six years ago.
Is that brick dust on your forehead?
You can jump inside of a system
That's significantly more than one word... I suspect I'm not the first to point it out.
And I am very happy with my FC, thanks.

It can, you can target planets from the system map. I did this in the beta, though haven't confirmed yet since the update.
Edit: as several others pointed out.
So you have to sell your cargo to your own carrier and then buy it back to ferry it to the end trade location. Plus you will have to hope it’s not 20,000 LS away from your desired station as has happened to me already.
As for folk talking about 40 jumps to Colonia with 20 minutes between jumps. They are forgetting the Tritium mining required to fuel the ships which will add A much longer time.
i turn off the game in 2018, no more stuff to do. after 2 years...the same.
have to wait odyssey in 2021...

Fleet carrier vs Fleet carrier, along with support ships from the 2 carriers, in an intense battle. c'mon dude, you couldnt figure this out !!
well, I guess he could argue that the devs could have updated the game with content that was more accessible to more players. c'mon man, you couldnt figure this out on your own ??
