I took my FC up to Rockham's Peak almost two weeks ago to deliver liquor. Took me two days to get there because finding the liked stars to get up there was a total pain. And when i arrived it was quite the nice view but... The station has no Large landing pads, which make it a huge pain to offload the 10k tons of liquor i brought up. And you drop out of super cruise way out from the station so you have a long haul just to dock, if its open, in a medium ship... Anyhoo i got bored doing that so i just wanted to check out the station. Scanned the satellite attached to the station which opens up more things to scan. Discovered some cargo hatches. Hatch broke said cargo hatches to see what was inside and got smoked by the security forces in like 1mn flat. Was labeled an undesirable and booted to a correctional facility back in the bubble 4.5k ly away... Now i have no way to get back. Looking for Any cmdr Heading up that way plz.
Fleet Carrier stranded up at Rockham's Peak after "incident" with security forces. Looking for Help.

You could try the fleet carrier owner's discord or r/elitecarriers.
You might have to wait a few days but I'm sure you can hitch a ride with someone.

OK cool i will check them out. thanks!
Haha I thought it might some easter egg thing or something. wasn't...
Funny you should write that, unexpected finds have been suggested numerous times and they would add to the game, but so far zilch.
The thing is, is i never off loaded the 10k of liquor i brought up so my FC is heavy and burns more fuel. My FC has about 550 tons of fuel in it right now which wont get me even close to getting back. And i cant refuel remotely or i could easily get back. i still have 9k of fuel in reserve. sucks. if i remember it took almost 4k of fuel to get there fully loaded.
If you call it remotely, your carrier doesn't have to make it all the way back, it just needs to be able to make it down far enough that you can reach it by ship. Idk exactly where that might be, as I haven't gone up there, but 550 tritium is enough for a few jumps at least. Sucks about the liquor though. You could return once you reunite with your carrier at a star you can reach.
Because of the liquor thats in the FC i couldnt jump far enough down to link up. i quick built an asp x to 69 ly range and even fsd boosted i cant even get close to a link up spot. my carrier wont make it even to the halfway point with 550 tons of fuel. what really sucks is i have plenty of fuel in reserve i just can access it remotely. so frustrating.
Its really tuff to get up there, the stars get so thin that a few times it took me over an hour to find the next star to jump to with the FC. zooming and scrolling and panning trying to find a little white dot. took me 2 days to get there. like 10 hours total. The navigation computer wont route it, its like they purposely glitched it just to make it harder.
The nav computer won't route because it's not designed for those sort of areas, and it doesn't work at all with the FC. Somewhere there is a list of the easiest way to get there though and spansh will give you a route there.
I will have to check that out. i would like to see the route to at least the halfway point. i totally forgot to bookmark those strars. i did remember to bookmark the stars from the halway point to rockham's.
Here's a FC route that will get you there using under 2,000 tons of Tritium from Sol to Rackhams Peak, I am sure you can get out with what you have in your FC fuel tank by running backwards down it, you will be in jumpable systems in no time;

Thank you! Hopefully i can find a ride soon. I'm never going to mess with rockham's station again. lol. I will try to jump it down. hopefully 550 of fuel will at least get me in range of my little ship. fingers crossed.

Great story! Loved the way the game mechanics managed to screw you over here! Or more specifically, the poor implementation of the FC mechanics here... I have to wonder whether this limited remote piloting was a deliberate stunt by FDev.
So you have fuel in the cargohold but of course because Fdev just won't do the obvious, the carrier is thus stranded.
Seriously Fdev, carriers need some QoL love for stuff like this. They are like almost perfect, just so close.
