Carrier question

I have had a Carrier for some time now. The one thing I don't get, is why is there no running tally of money your Carrier is receiving.
It is obvious that craft from the game and possibly other players are landing and refueling and repairing.
Why is there no line item listed anywhere for income when I review the Carrier budget?

I'm not positive but i think that feature never worked properly. One thing you can do is set your bank at a certain amount, like 250million, and keep it there after every Thursday tick. Then you can see if that figure has gone up or stayed the same. Inara also has a page for carrier stats, idk how accurate it is, it says I've made 3billion on ship sales, and i know i haven't.

I have always wondered why fleet carriers don't have a log of visitors. In other words, a list of other players who have docked onto your fleet carrier, in chronological order.

This would seem like a rather trivial feature, particularly because there exists an extremely similar feature already in the game: The "contacts" list in your ship's upper menu lists all the recent players you have seen in your radar. This is pretty much exactly what fleet carriers need (except for players who have docked rather than having been detected).

A more detailed log of what the players did (eg. if they purchased something) would be even nicer but I understand that would require more development work. Just a list of visitors would be enough and, I assume, quite minimal amount of work to implement.

Love some of these answers. Considering what FCs cost, you would think there would be some emersion like meeting visiting commanders in the bar or hosting them in your quarters. The fact that it is just a money pit essentially, makes me less inclined to try the new System Colonization thingy.

In open, you can meet other CMDRs in the fight deck viewing area, and even take them to the private suite.

As said, you can meet CMDRs in the bar when they are present. Also, they aren't just a money pit. They offer a lot of convenience for what they cost, considering they're basically a station holding all your stuff you can move at any time while transporting thousands of units of cargo.

You can meet Cmdrs in the bar, though it helps to organise something.

That is an awesome pic. I am so jealous, you have friends and you all are having a good time. Is that an Eagle poking it's nose in on the party? A couple of dance emotes would be cool in the game. I'd like to dance sometimes to the music when using the lift in stations.

I think it might be an Imperial Courier the canopy looks too rounded for an Eagle.

I was thinking the same thing, couldn't really tell, what an awesome game to able to even do that. Poke your ships nose into the party. Like some sorta armed chaperone. 😆
