General A few minor improvements for the FC

[SergMx]

(maybe some suggestions have been made before, but I think there is no harm in repeating them)

1. If I am on a station I could go into my FC and move my modules and ships from anywhere on the FC.
2. If I see a friend on the map in green, why can't I see his FC? Also in green ?
3. Maybe I should repaint my FC on the map in a different color? For example the same white as my ships on other stations ?
4. I have about 13k AX points, but I'm still waiting for the imperial FC modification to spend it.
5. If I have assigned an interior for my ship like Anti Xeno, maybe we can think of a new service for FC,
where you can buy different fighters, weapons, modules to fight against Xeno? (those who have access to them)

Thanks.

Activate the minimum cargo option!!

1. You can transfer your ships/modules to any station or FC if you're docked there, unless you mean transferring any ship anywhere to your FC, in which case, yes.

2 and 3.
Customizable bookmarks: Yes.

4. More FC customizations would be nice, I'm still using the default carrier because the current offerings don't look that much better than the Drake.

5. The whole carrier shipyard and outfitting package system needs a rework, no one needs 50 E-rated C1 limpet controllers of every type or should need to choose to only offer C1-3, C4-6 or C7-8 cargo racks.

1. this is the suggestion section.
If I can from anywhere on my FC and send it anywhere.
Why can't I also order delivery of a ships, a module on the FC?
2,3. Not just bookmarks. Does the friend's FC show up on the map somehow?
5. Human weapons and modules after engineers have to keep in the warehouse and ships.
But the weapons and modules of the guardians are not engineered and are easier to buy and sell, but in the Pleiades not everything is at hand.

1. Just as you can dock at any station and order any of your ships from anywhere to be delivered to that station, the same is true for fleet carriers, they're just mobile, player owned stations.

However if it's not your carrier you can't transfer ships unless it has a shipyard service installed and active or transfer modules without the outfitting service.

2. Only if you've either bookmarked it or stored a ship on it. If you're in a squadron with your friends, they can share their bookmark and it'll use the green squadron bookmark icon.
Otherwise, no.

5. You can't buy any guardian or tech-broker outfitting packages, regardless of whether you've personally unlocked them. You also can't buy ship bulkheads and there are no ship packages that contain any rank locked ships.
IMO, the whole system needs improvement, including allowing FC owners the ability to buy stocks of guardian tech if they personally have it unlocked.

Still, I think there is some kind of error in the transition!
This is the section PROPOSALS ! I'm not asking how to do it differently and I'm not asking about the current rules.
I make a PROPOSAL and you either agree with it or not and write why it is harmful.

I think there is an error, since I don't disagree with you on anything you've proposed.
I'm just explaining how it currently works so we can narrow down what exactly the new proposals would end up changing or adding.

Take #5, as a FC owner you currently can't stock anything you unlock at the tech brokers. On top of that any modules you can stock are bought in predetermined packages that you can only buy one of per category.
We should be able to stock guardian modules and hardpoints on a FC, if the owner has them unlocked. I'm also suggesting FD also rework the package system when adding the ability to stock tech broker stuff on FCs.

I don't understand what it means to disagree. For example, point 1. If you do not agree with it then you can not use it, those who are interested and need it will use it. After all, no one is forcing you to buy FC.
The only thing that can be accepted as unnecessary in the suggestions section is the only thing that can hurt other players. What can I have that can cause harm?

I both own and love my FC, I think for #1 we were talking about slightly different topics.

I took your proposal as wanting to allow players to transfer ships or modules to or from FCs, which they already can if they're docked on it or the station they're transferring to.

 

[SergMx]

Example for 1:
1. I on station and buy another ship.
2. I switch to my FC and add transfers new ships to FC.
3. I fly my FC. (or fly another station)
4. After fly, I docking my FC, and see my new ships on FC.

Point transfers module and ships in menu FC.
