It does say 'filters' right there, though.
I agree in principle that the carriers are all over the damn place, and annoying. But not that people are cheating to get them.
If you don't like seeing htem, stick to the boondocks, or go exploring.
EVEN A DAMN DEATH STAR WAS CALLED A SHIP. BECAUSE IT MOVED FROM SYSTEM TO SYSTEM. IT WAS NOT MARKED IN ANY SYSTEM.
In system they move just as much as any station.
Ah - I see - you were joking about the FCs - good one - ya got me! 
Carrier is a HUGE SHIP. that is all. it is not a STATION !!! damn it.
Can you move a Fleet Carrier in a system, i.e. jump from one planet to another in the system?
What ship has a shipyard on it? Sounds like a station to me...
Edit: Or else it's ... shipception
No, the Death Star was a Space Station. What it definitely wasn't, was a moon.
I suppose we can solve this - if there are Ewoks on FC then they are probably planets. Or maybe moons, I forget. And where do the wookies come into this?
Death Star was a space station.
Do you know most space stations in Elite are built first, then attached to engines and then they jump to destination? Some still have engines attached.
Good point - Jaques is a station that jumped. Not sure how the Ewoks got on board
If you REALLY want to get in to that (expert trolling, by the way), then a Station is movable since they start life a ship that flies (albeit slowly) to its destination system and then is built-out in to the station it becomes. We've even had CGs to do that. A carrier is a mobile station. It sits stationary around a body offering services in exactly the same manner. It can then make limited movements, system-by-system.
What you seem to be suggesting is that a carrier is a player-pilotable ship. It is not. Hell, mine doesn't even recognise me as the owner. It welcomes me like a station does. It's a mobile station.
Now, feel free to explain to us in detail how that is incorrect. Not a statement in capitals about being wrong. Details please. Go on. I dare yeh!
You got there before me! Damn you to hell! Or you know... excellent point.
Do planets count as ships then because they move in the system?
No, only moons.

Making Carriers a fixed part of the System Maps was a mistake.
Keeping the Credits flowgates open to attract more Players and causing a sustained Hyperinflation (which is receiving yet another boost due to "balancing") added plenty of more Carriers.
And it's not going to stop, not few Alt Accounts even run Carriers just for lulz.
The System Maps (easiest Solution) would need another tab for "Transient" Services such as Carriers - in lieu of re-designing the System Maps themselves and fully integrating Carriers without breaking the UI.
