I can't say which one is the most annoying one: the colorful Adders disconnections or ambient sound problem. I'd rather stop beta testing it (can't call it "playing", sorry) until at least one of them will be fixed. I mean fixed.

Yeah it looks like you can get the fleet carrier station name in eddb and then use the station name in INRA to look up the cmdrs name. I have gotten close using INRA but have not quite figured it out yet...Eventually I would guess eddb wil show the stations cmdr name in the station search output. Right now they show everything about the station except that.
Inara does get its information from user journal uploads which containes the names and more. EDDB relies only on EDDN which does not have this data (and would probably filter it out becaue of data anonymisation).

Still not able to play but i keep faith with Frontier Devs. they must have some hard days ...
i think it's more convinient to be supportive than trolling them.
And by the way, there plenty other stuffs to do waiting for the holy patch : read books, play guitar, play other video games.
so i will show up here and on the launcher each evening to see what's coming.

Have nice evening all CMDR !
 
Some more issues:

1) When plotting a Fleet Carrier jump from System A to System B, then flying separately to System B, the carrier appears in both systems, even before it's jump has begun.
2) The issue with my non-existent Shipyard having a stock of imperial ships to sell, only appears in Imperial systems.
3) It's not possible to transfer cargo from my ship to the carrier whilst in a Wing.
4) When leaving a wing and then rejoining a wing later in the day, the centre display shows the "Leaving Wing" countdown circle - however it never counts down, it's there until you quit and reload.

Glad to see that a patch is coming tomorrow. I await with anxiety and trepidation.
 
Sometimes:

When I am building reputation there is an inbox message that I am /cordial/friendly/allied.

Still, the progress bar stops just on the border and lower rank is still highlited as active.
Even after reloading mission screen.
After completing another mission the progress bar and rank are working good.

For me the bug looks like ...

condition for getting the rank is:
x > treshold
while condition for getting the inbox message:
x >= treshold

It doesn't happen often, but can be confusing for some new players.
 
Actually, if I understand what you're thinking, this is what you'd expect.
Once mission cargo is in your ship, it can't be moved anywhere else or sold without invalidating the contract.
You can change ship, but the cargo Must be in your 'possession' at all times.
Moving cargo to the FC counts as selling it.
🤔
Well, you could look at it (sort of) like I'm "changing ships" to my FC :) It's still in my possession... but I guess the FC hold is different...it would show up in the commodities trading if I were selling that item. hmph. Howabout transferring it to another ship that's stored there! That's really what I ultimately wanted to do anyway. Transfer from the Python to the stored T9, go back, get the rest, transfer again (or just change ships) to the T9, and voila! Ready to fly to the destination. :) Oh well, it would be interesting if you could use your fleet carrier as a "middle-man" (like you can transport partial shipments to the destination). All we need is a "private hold".
 
I think I've read this elsewhere but yesterday I did a 498ly jump in my fleet carrier with my Corvette safely stowed aboard. Looking at the galaxy map showed the FC and my Corvette about 498ly's apart. Odd as I was still in the FC hangar. So I left the FC, jumped into supercruise and found there was no FC to return to. It was indeed 498 ly's away.

So the FC jumped, I was on board but didn't jump. I believe I plotted the course via my Corvette then went into FC management to repeat. Then something obviously went wrong.

I had to call it back so a b****y waste of 600 tons of Trit I could have done without!
I've had the Admin screen not exit during countdown & the timer stuck on 0:01, only to find despite being docked on the Carrier, it had dumped me & was 490+LY's away from it.
Yesterday I noticed something wrong, when the Galaxy Map showed my Carrier had jumped & used fuel to do so. When I went to the Carrier surface to launch, I checked the System Map & I was still at the previous System. Only rectified this by going back into the hanger & jumping the Carrier again into a nearby System.

Does the "Transfer all to Ship" function in the Cargo Page work for anyone?

If I i.e. want to Transfer Tritium from the Carrier Cargo hold to the Ship and into the Carrier's Fuel Tank, click Tritium in the Cargo Page and then "Transfer all to Ship", nothing happens.
I assumed this would fill the Ship to the max. with the selected Commodity.

It's a tad annoying having to manually scroll the Cargo amount in order to setup the Transfer.
 
Yes it does work for me, I have transferred some of my LTD's from Cargo hold to Ship to sell on, but you have to manually transfer by using the the Arrow, you can't transfer 'ALL'
 
After the update today my fleet carrier designation name change to a new set of alfa numerics, and according to eddb, the number of fleet carriers in the game went from 4,260 to 282. Having doubts about the eddb data but, quite honestly I am not sure what to think. The closest carrier to me was 7,500 LYs a day ago, now the closest FC is 28,800 LYs away. I got a feeling there's going to be a lot of folks who wake up this morning finding their FC disappeared from the game.

Dear FDEV, I suspended my Universal Cartographics simply because any systems I submitted to this feature never put my name on the first finds. So it's useless to make use of now. Have a look at BLU EUQ OO-I D9-57 and many of these planets are mine including two planet A6 and A7 are terraformable HMC types found and mapped by me. But the Fleet Carrier UC did not place my CMDR name on them. Please fix this asap.

Or does the FC need to be in a system with a Station to make this happen on our finds?

Please let me know soon.
Mine seems to put my name on systems and bodies, after I sell them my data. Although I noticed that UC in stations nefuse to buy any data from me, which is fine, I'll just hold it till I'm back at my carrier.
 
Some things I noticed:

Carrier ATC no longer makes an announcement after a jump (this was in beta)

The remote Carrier management menu's (right hand panel) music is super loud now after the patch. I'm pretty sure it's just supposed to be an ambient background track.
