An extreme solution would be to set a "resellable" flag yes/no to items you sell at the bartender, so that the buyer won't be able to re-sell them.
I've seen that bug before, was it a Sunday morning by any chance?
Indeed so. Credits are very easy to come by, else I couldn't have afforded 3 FCs over 3 accounts. But, my point still is valid.
I agree that the maintenance on Pioneer Supplies should be reduced or removed. There is simply no way that franchise can make any profit if it's limited to G1 suits and weapons
This is actually the most important thing related to carrier bartender trading. Third party apps are desperately in the need to do this.
When nobody knows where they can sell or buy their stuff the whole thing is kinda pointless. Everyone would profit.
Inara for example tries its best to keep track but simply cannot at the moment.
In regards to the bar tender and generally the NPCs standing around shouting out illegal activity to all and sundry…
*edited - Make the bar tender actually sell drinks (not necessarily to manifest them) to improve upon the interaction and menu system, so it becomes a jumping off point for material trading, or at least better illustrate they are a ‘material trader’ and don’t actually sell drinks.
At present the process feels clinical and more like spreadsheet management.
Another possibility is to also link it to illegal activity, to give it context, with the bar keep as a point of contact; where the tender asks what your interested in, demands a tip then points out an NPC who can provide that illegal mission.
If your rep / crime stats are too low the bar keep will not acknowledge you, and just sell you a drink. Possibly requires you being allied with a certain faction, the more habitual / allied you are the bar keep / faction NPCs will recognise you and negate such introductions.
If you don’t align with the bar keep, nefarious NPCs will not talk to you, but may redirect you to the barkeep / tell you how to get aligned.
Not every bar has this function, limit such activities to areas where criminality or deprivation is more apparent.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned or is in wrong area of the forum lets just say I'm not firing on all thrusters at the moment, I would just like to ask if there could be an official post identifying what exactly will be done with ED on consoles (I don't mean transfers) presently I'm unsure as to what the future is with regards to storylines Cg's etc. I've seen a lot of suppositions as to what may happen but nothing official, initially it wasn't very clear as to how "cut off" ED on consoles would be whether storylines would still progress whether we would still be included in cg's what exactly critical updates meant with the only clarification upcoming being related to transfers. This in my opinion is what led to a lot of people leaving. Its nice to see this weekly update but from my point of view its isolating consoles further with no further information other than the potential to transfer even being discussed or on display. For myself and possibly others it would be appreciated if more detailed information could be put forward about what the future on consoles may entail if for nothing else to avoid the perception that now the decision has been made it no longer matters. Yeah so in my rather long winded way a little more clarity.
Cheers and o7
why dont we just have a feature to allow us to give credits to other players? people do it anyway and having a proper function would make it less tedious.
Please also insert button to find Raxxla.
I'm not sure and I haven't seen it reported here, but I think I've seen the fleet carrier paint jobs change while being on a jumping carrier. Don't know if this a bug, or maybe the carrier owner changed the skin and it occurs together with instancing.
Also please add NPC spawning when on foot on the carrier, so that one can admire the traffic while on the bridge / in the bar.
How about giving us an exploration mini game while waiting for the carrier jump? Something like firing off FTL probes to map the destination system. Like this we'd have something useful to do while waiting for the jump, and fleet carriers might even become "explorriers". Maybe send an initial FTL probe to get the system layout, and then separate probes to DSS the different bodies in the system. In fact maybe allow us to probe neighboring systems looking for stuff even if not waiting for a jump.
This would be anchored in lore, as apparently that's how humanity found target systems for the generation ships.

Be kinda nice if they stood to attention when you entered the bridge then sat down again when you took your seat or left the bridge
Mostly I like the update, even though the only real use I have as a solo explorer type is the Vista Genomics service. That's been a great addition, thank you.
Stuff that bothers me:
Stuff that bothers me:
- Crew has no idea who I am, they don't acknowledge me in any way.
- ATC also regards me as a random commander.
- I get a "No Gravity" warning when I disembark onto my carrier, even though there clearly IS gravity what with all the people standing around in the halls or sleeping on the couch with their heads lolled over. And the drinks in the bar. And...etc.
the ability to transfer tritium from the cargo hold to the fuel tank on foot would be nice
Hi Zac,
- Bartender Service sell pricing cap
People asked on stream, but they forget those existed. So they thought the people asked for FC NPC.
If a CM read this, we speak of the dude that goes inside the SLF.
Also, remove the 50% combat rank penalty associated with them, thanks
Tend to agree quite honestly. I've got oxygenic bacteria (smoothies) and an RDX / epheneprine (explosive adrenaline) cocktail for sale behind the bar and, if there was a more obvious material to sell to support that roleplay, I wouldn't mind that. But I can't see drinking a drink as a dev task any more important to implement than reading a book, ear wax eating or click-to-win arm wrestling really.
Would like to see SRV tyre tracks return soon.
Name plate twitch drops are still not available to claim on the twitch frontier store.
Demand for Odyssey engineering materials is very high. One way to incentivize meeting this demand is to allow higher prices. I should know. I am not really interested in on-foot gameplay, though I do CZs during CGs; and I'm frustrated there's no efficient way of gathering materials (I'd rather relog for 6 hours than spend 6 weeks doing missions). And now that I can engineer suits & weapons mostly without having to actually play on foot, I quite happily spent the time since Update 11 chasing FC sell orders, and attempting to entice people to fill my buy orders. But let me tell you, actually catching the sell orders requires camping the various places players post them (all of which are lacking), and having the privilege of being able to chase them at most hours of the day; and I attracted approximately two sellers to my FC. Allowing prices high enough to make it worth the time to farm/travel/sell would improve the market dramatically.
Also: You(FDev) could much better enable third-party tools in this area by putting the bartender demand+supply in the player journal on commander dock (and/or in the market cAPI pull), not just in the Fleet Carrier cAPI.
PS, please enable player trading of Horizons engineering materials too
Not just you
