fleet carrier

Hello Frontier and Cmdrs, I'm actually traveling the galaxy with a fellow cmdr as a crew member in his Fleet Carrier. At the moment I can only help him by donating Tritium but I was thinking: It is possible to create a "Crew" section where the Fleet Carrier owner can add other players as...

Current FC's shipyard and outfitting is not very well,players can only buy a large amount of gears/ships in their fc and sell them.And I believe people would rather go for a NPC station than going to a FC to buy their ship＆gears so what if we can sell our engineered ship and gears at a price...

I realize Fleet Carriers just got released and they are designed to be an end game item, but they can be mid to end game. Rather than starting at 5billion, with all the landing pads and storage and 500LY FSD, have the carriers as a modular frame that start with a smaller FSD, and start with...

Dark Mode allows a play to go silent in the game. (may help in reducing server load) No commodity trading is available in this mode. No other players can see your FC using any tools (web included) in this mode. You are off the grid to all intents and purposes as this will allow the player to...

I'm relatively new to Elite: Dangerous, so I apologize if this is something that has already been suggested. I really think it would help Elite become a better game if creating a BGS faction gave more of a connection to the original creator. Perhaps as a new career path. What would people think...

Fair warning, this is a detailed post with lots of math, numbers, and economic theory. Please insure you at least know the economic terms of "net", "gross", "profit margin", and "markup" before proceeding. Having a crew member while trying to run a fleet carrier as an import/export style...

Add missions to destroy turrets and various FC damage to disable all kinds of services. The owner of the FC can always dock with his own FC and repair it. (if I'm not mistaken, you can do it remotely through the FC menu.) Having spent more credits on repairs. If the FC is in a safe system and...

I've been sitting here with my cargo hold full of diamonds for 2 days now, checking Inara for prices, flying back and forth. For some reason, I can't sell LTDs. It either prompts me with a selling screen, which does absolutely nothing when I click sell or simply have no option to sell to that FC...

i would suggest: frontier developing an Fleet carrier app for Smartphones, where you can do all the options like managing your commodities market, and jumping your fleet carrier. this is just a suggestion, but i would love if we had one. now let the voting and discussions beginn. :) PS: sorry...

Off the bat fleet carriers are pretty useful tools in the game. But I think there is definitely more potential to be useful and add a new layer of strategy and emergent gameplay. The idea would be to add a "faction office" much similar to the redemption office. And with that you would be able...

I'm closing in on being able to afford a fleet carrier, thanks to both hard work (hauling Tritium) and the VERY GENEROUS DONATIONS of other CMDRs (see my signature). I should reach 5 billion this week. My original goal was to acquire 6 billion before buying a FC, to ensure I have the extra...

tl;dr Am taking my FC to this area rich in undiscovered black holes, about 18k LY from Sol. A 2-3 week trip. Commanders are welcome to join and use FC services for free. Itinerary Departure: Sunday, July 5th. 2000 hrs. Arrival at destination July 8th (or 9th). Return: Sunday July 18th. 2000 hrs...

As fleet carriers are effectively mobile travelling stations, and to aid their future navigation. It’s in the best interests of that fleet carrier and its crew to amass as much cartography data as possible. (For realistic pretend gameplay reasons) Isn’t it a good idea for the FC’s cartography...

Just a couple thoughts. Could we have local system news, bounty boards and traffic reports in our fleets? Could we also have FCs be included in the traffic report. Is there anyway we could have more direct control over our perms for our commodity markets? Like maybe even only allowing access to...

I've been playing around with my carrier, trying to figure out how to best align it with various play styles. Personally, I absolutely love the Fleet Carrier and the dynamic that it brings to the game. Gives the game a fresh feel which was a very long time overdue. Whilst I am thoroughly...

After waiting 1 week for the decommissioning... (why, FDev?) I just bought a new one today and everything works.

Hello CMDRs, I was wondering is there a website that tracks fleet carriers and what routes they're taking, e.i. from Sol to Colonia and back or anything like that. P.S. Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place; this is my first time using the forums here. Thanks in advance!

Hi FDev, I have a simple request. While docked at my carrier, I'd like the option to switch from the cockpit of my ship to sitting in the captain's chair on the bridge of the carrier. Maybe you can use the multi-crew system to let a few others commanders sit on the bridge with you if you...

Good day to all! Installed the Extended Service services (arsenal, repairs, refueling) on the carrier ship. But in the advanced service menu I can’t buy drones ... He writes that there are not enough loans, although money> 1M loans. Tell me, has anyone encountered such a problem?

Greetings everyone, Blackforge Trading Co is an independent mercantile squadron which focuses on bulk goods trading and mining via fleet carrier. We are currently based in the Kaukamine system Vinci station, but operate wherever the most profitable trades lead us. We are currently 11...

Im gonna make this quick so yeah. Also, dont get your panties in a bunch when I suggest some ideas that make the game harder. Taxes on Transactions - Now I know what you may be thinking..."uPkEeP!!!!!!" This wouldn't be the case, you simply would have a small deduction or increase to your...

It seems real immersion breaking (and frankly laughable) that you have to pay upkeep to support this "virtual crew", but they can't be bothered to fuel your ship. You're a multi billionaire that has the wealth to purchased a gigantic moving station, but you can't pay for mining facilities...

In my case (I am a big boy <49 years old>) passionate about space exploration and with all the time I spend working and in other activities, I do not have 1,000 free hours to dedicate to extract low temperature diamonds, vacuum opals, etc., and reach the five billion credits required (and more...

Greetings CMDR's. Hopefully this could be an update in the near future. With the new Fleet Carriers being added. Aside from docking to view facilities/outfitting on a FC, I realized the only other way to check what facilities/outfitting options a FC had was if i went into system map and...

Hello Commanders, I am the Captain of the Space Ball 1 Fleet Carrier and me and my squadron are organizing a trip to Beagle Point and back to the Bubble starting with June 28th. The Itinerary for the journey is quite simple: Alpha Centauri -> Sagittarius A -> Beagle Point -> Colonia -> Alpha...

After returning from a Fuel Rats mission to save a stranded commander 50kly into the black, the Eternity's Gaze is now in Rodentia and preparing for it's departure to the bubble. Any commanders who want to hitch a ride to there are welcome on board, free of charge. Departure will be tomorrow...

o7 Everyone In this post, I am going to rant about the Redemption Office and Universal Cartographics services that you can install on a Fleet Carrier. First, why are they weird? Because they don't give you the full amount of credits that you would get at a station. 12.5% goes to the carrier...

How do mere mortals hitch a ride? How do I find out which Fleet Carriers are travelling to a particular destination, what the destination is and when the FC leaves? And once I’ve found all of that, so I just dock with the FC and wait?

Hello Commanders, I am the Captain of the Space Ball 1 Fleet Carrier and me and my squadron are organizing a trip to Beagle Point and back to the Bubble starting with June 28th. The Itinerary for the journey is quite simple: Alpha Centauri -> Sagittarius A -> Beagle Point -> Colonia -> Alpha...

Welcome CMDR o7 My name is CMDR MIKE RK Leader of the GSC. I am in my own small squadron with only a few members however, I am putting together a small expedition to a set of stars the you can only get to via a carrier. My carrier the Exodus Pryor will be departing from “NUENETS” which is one...

So I am out in the black, complete middle of nowhere with a heavily damaged ship and decide to check the galaxy map to find the nearest fleet carrier where i can dock and repair. Easily enough i find the filter to show player fleet carriers as a yellow dot and have a look at the galaxy map and...

So when I read about how carriers were persistent across all game platforms, it gave me an idea I couldn't wait to try. A couple of good friends have ED on Xbox, while I'm on PC. I contacted them, and they were eager to help test my theory. As it happened, they had been wanting to unlock...

In less than a week, carriers have made it to Beagle Point, to the roof of the galaxy, and clustered around every money oasis they can find. Soon, the galaxy will be strip-mined to an even greater extent than it is for exploration (apologies to DSSA). Methods of BGS manipulation previously...

So the carriers have been out for a few days now. however, as a CMDR of a carrier and a few people i help travel around and some hitchickers have all said how awesome it would be if the CMDR of the carrier could have some neet features like: 1. a roster the the CMDR can set up for when he/she...

Greeting CMDRs o7! I've noticed in Fleet Carrier Beta 2 and Live update that there is a audio glitch (bug) when jumping. What is it? Fleet Carriers have awesome sound design and effects, so when Carrier is about to enter Hyperspace Portal it does three 'foghorn' like sound effects and three...

This thread is an enjoyable read, where a commander takes an FC boldly where none have gone before: CMDR Nutter far above us all. No bad feelings against dear Nutter, that thread is a great read of fun times had. But really?? We can take our Carriers to hitherto unreachable places, then get to...

I didn't test this in beta but unless you have less stock on the carrier than available cargo space, it does nothing. Any chance this could just fill your hold with the selected commodity rather than making us wait for the counter to fill? Please.

Sinister Mining Market is now open for business at the system "RAS ELASED BOREALIS" planet 9 , my ship offers the following services and features for the hard working miner! All facilities except black market, and NO notoriety players allowed to dock! ALL ABSOLUTELY TARIFF FREE...

Waiting 15mins for carrier jump is so annoying it should be 5mins or something
