Elite Dangerous: Issue regarding incorrectly accrued Fleet Carrier upkeep costs addressed.

I think you are absolutely right. My base upkeep is 14,350,016. Add five jumps in the last two weeks and my accumulated upkeep should be 29,200,032, yet it shows there an additional 4,322,110 cr which I believe are indeed full fees from suspended services. 😕

Let's forget hull maintenance for a moment.
Your weekly upkeep is more or less what base costs + projected costs equals at the Thursday server tick.
Projected costs are what all your services cost at the moment and this cost is moved to accrued costs as week goes on, so accrued cost is getting higher, while projected costs are getting lower (that's assuming you're not switching services on and off, which might slightly blur the picture)

Judging by your screenshot your weekly upkeep is about 12+million (can't say exactly, because that's 2 days after weekly tick already and your accrued costs include unpaid bills from previous 2 weeks).

I don't see anything wrong there.
 
I don’t yet own a carrier so don’t know this but does the change in charge for a suspended service show immediately it is suspended or when all the other stuff happens at tick time?

Sorry, I didn't answer your question, and it's a good one too.

I really don't know cause I've never suspended a service after activating it. The ones I have suspended I think I never actually suspended them in the first place. IIRC, I simply purchased them and never activated them, so may be that's why I never noticed a change in upkeep except for the base cost, but I'm not sure. That was months ago, which might as well be decades in my faulty memory.
 
Hello!
Gentle reminder that server side fixes to take some pressure off inflated and incorrect ticking of carrier costs is something we're able to do quicker, with a different skillset and via a different method of fix delivery to fixes addressing remaining CTDs. If we can fix something sooner, we'll always try and get it through for you all.

Rest assured that the CTDs I've made note of and continue to discuss on this side (thanks to the additional feedback from Commanders during the last hotfix chatter), continue to be on the importance radar and we'll do what we can to keep you updated on progress.
Can we get an update regarding the preservation of the Fleet Carrier upkeep discounts (for console CMDR's Carriers. From a previous CG rewards) planning to transfer? I'm planning to transfer my console cmdr to PC in September, and my current Carrier has the upkeep discount rewards applied. Will i be able to receive the same discounts when i repurchase a new carrier for the same CMDR on PC?
 
What we know so far was that you would have to sell the carrier before making the transfer as they would not be included in the transfer. Subsequently the CMs said that they are looking into a better way for the carriers, so maybe in time this will change, though no details as of yet.

What upkeep discounts are you specifically talking about? AFAIK the CG only reduced the initial cost of the carrier and modules, the upkeep cost is exactly the same.

My Carrier's upkeep is/has been 11,250,011 everyweek with Shipyard, Outfitting, UC, Rearm and Refuel with the discounts since the that CG. I don't know what all that is normally, but i bought all of those under the discount, and was told that the upkeep is supposed to be a certain percentage of whatever you paid.
 
I appreciate the fix but why did it take 4 days to actually let us know that the problem was acknowledged? Or even longer since he issue must have started on the 16th of June...
Wasn't the communication from FDev to players supposed to be improved?

I don't think I was docked for last week. Waiting to see if the finance department get their act together.

Some of my crew are getting itchy. One of them admitted to sleeping in the storage closet. You just can't get the staff these days.
