Carrier Decommissioning

Can anyone save me a chunk of time. It's unlikely that I'll be playing ED:O anytime soon and I want to ditch the carrier and associated costs....so what do I do?

If I just decommission it what happens to the fleet on board and the equipment, will it transfer to the closest station?

Many thanks in advance and before you ask, no stufz to be had.

if you want to redeem as much money as possible, first jump to a carrier admin system and offload all your modules and ships to a nearby shipyard/outfitter, then offload and sell all stored cargo. Offline and sell all modules, go into the carrier admin panel, bottom icon and select Decommission Carrier, wait 7 days and it will be gone.

I suggest doing it this way, as decommissioning it straight away does some weird stuff to anything remaining on board and you may or may not get your money back.

You still may need a carrier in Horizons :)

Have decommissioned mine a few weeks ago and what CMDR Exeider says above is the best process.

I also had a garage sale on tritium, as I could not be bothered unloading it all. So I jumped it to the home system of a player group that supports and mentors new pilots. Posted on their discord about the bargains to be had!

Yeah, I took a rather long break, due to irl stuffz. But, I think I chose the wrong time to return :D
Still, I've some non-odyssey stuff to be catching up on and tbf, I've been having fun (in game and on the forums)

Enjoy, hopefully things will have improved when you return. :)

When I took a break I thought of doing that, but then I realized that with mining I could earn a years upkeep per hour easily, so I did that. Did mining for four hours, carrier is paid for 3-4 years..

Yeah I've got 8 years worth on there, just seems prudent to mothball it whilst away.

So selling a ship gets money back but not a carrier? Right, where's that spanner.....

You don't get all of it back, you get... an amount, based on "stuff" like how long you had the carrier for and... er... some other things, I don't know exactly as I never decommissioned, because of the silliness of not getting your insanely large amount of credits back.

I'm currently really worried I'll lose mine due to just not having enough time to play currently.

I think I lost a total of 150 mill or there abouts. I just tossed mine in the scrap heap too.. transferred all back to Jamesons.

I want a Red Dwarf stype FC. Nothing other than no other crew, ship repair (that I do myself), carry my ships and stuff I pick up in the black.

When I log out, the FC is gone; when I log in, it reappears.

And a ship cat called 'Cat' with an amazing sense of style and dress code and ship computer that is logically questionable.

No upkeep; I'll done that when I can walk around the ship and repair it myself ;)

No need to de-comission. Not played for a year? It's like a settlement - time to re-power the power regulator, put fires out and go the distance in getting it back in ship-shape. Ship-based game-play threads in-coming :p

I wish Frontier had done it this way, or made the "always there, visible in every instance, requires weekly upkeep" an optional component of fleet carriers. While upkeep prevents me from buying an FC on principle, I don't know if I would buy one without it... but the FC spam in what sometimes seems like every system in the game is often jarring and I wonder if it would have been less of an issue if commanders were given an option to forgo omnipresence in exchange for eliminating upkeep.
