Can you eject ships as a carrier owner?
- Thread starter Kibitzer
- Start date
Yes, you can. (sort of)
If you set your carrier permissions to restrict who has access - then those who don't have permission to use your carrier will automatically be ousted and forced to transfer their ships elsewhere.
But, no - you can't select a specific ship/cmdr to punt.

Do they actually get ousted straight away, or can they just not land again if they leave?
im not getting on youre carrier, you take my money then eject me into a vacum,well well ,ill travell alone,lol lol
The latter.
When it happened to me, I was ousted when I logged on.
So I can enter a flight carrier. Stay on board until it has reached Beagle point?
Yes. Similarly there are regular fleet carrier buses to and from Colonia.
yes you get to beagles point if its going there,then the cmdr will go on a 3 month holiday,lol,not a clever idea
Nobody would see those achievements, from folks like me anyway as im always in solo.

1.a. Elite has six career paths with "ranks" awarded. Every player you see in your target box displays their combat rank. You can display your status in three of the career paths by means of decals on your ships, SRVs and outfits.
b. Places (third-party sites) have all sorts of badges you can earn - EDSM for example (see below). Many people incorporate badges / medal ribbons / etc in their forum sig.
2. "In ye olden days" missions carried rank requirements for you to be eligible to undertake them. That was scrapped so that nowadays anyone pennyless can take a tycoon mission or a harmless player can undertake a deadly mission (you are warned about the mission scale if it is higher than your status but you can still undertake it). Of course some missions require you to have a certain reputation before it becomes available to you.
I don't know why you would want anything else or maybe I just don't understand what you are after. Is it some sort of Steam award / badge you are looking for, or what?
Did you not hear about the noobs that were conned into being taken on a carrier trip to make their fortune, then used as slaves to go mining because their ships didn't have the jump range to leave the system. I thought that it was really funny and creative game-play that could have been developed with a call for rescuers, but the devs took a very dim view of it and the slavers got into trouble.
I think a system with achievements for players and squadrons would with certain rewards would add to the fun of the game. You can imagine an achievement like “completing a massacre mission with over 70 kills within 3 hours” or “mining over 1000 units within 2 hours” or “jumping to Jaques station within 3 hours”.
You get rewards for ranks already.
Beagle Point is easy, as you can just fly back as long as you have a scoop. Go to one of the border systems (like Rackham's Peak, but with less traffic) that can only be reached (or at least jumped out of) by carrier.
There are already squadron awards.
I think maybe you need to research a bit more about what is already in the game and perhaps consider the practicalities of how and what you "can show to other players" as you put it. I don't want to be discouraging, so have a ponder and construct a suggestion for your ideas and post it where it belongs - in the suggestions sub-forum.
