No they didn't say anything about carriers
Development Update 3 - August
- Thread starter Arthur Tolmie
- Start date
Psstt....megaships are not fleet carriers.
Any word on fixing gunner role and fighters in multicrew, or am I missing some sort of additional steps?
Wait! Thats illegal. Fdev why must you hurt me in this way.
Because thats what they do. They take your plums and squeeze them hard until you cry.
But it was a logical continuation as megaship prisons have on foot bits I think.
They do yes, they even feature panels to be cut with the arc cutter, though you cannot use it there.
Hoping to clear up some confusion regarding Capital Ship types (from the wiki):
1. Battlecruisers - those are what you see in space CZs: federation farraguts and imperial majestics.
2. Megaships - this is the classification that has been announced in the plans for this thread, they migrate around systems on a weekly schedule or get spawned as unconquerable assets for CGs.
3. Fleet Carriers - these are not "megaships", they have a capital ship classification of their own.
4. Battleships - larger, more powerful and heavier than battlecruisers, not present in-game and only mentioned in the lore atm.

Will there be anything about anti-aliasing and jagged edges?
It's a shame about the Fleet Carriers not having social spaces (yet).
I do wonder if boarding megaships will enable us to board some of those ghost ships in game. It's time the game started delivering on those Galnet articles.
Social spaces on megaships could offer new environments to tell story.

Some day from the bridge of my carrier (after update 42? lol /s)
Take us to the bubble nebula #1, engage warp factor 4 at your leisure. I'll be in my ready room with a bottle of romulan ale and my favorite hutton orbital mug.

You seem to be misinterpreting this, boarding megaships is not mentioned here. By megaship this update is purely referring to the already landable ones, not generation ships.

Can't wait!
Actually I just remembered I wiped my account and as such lost my FC. And since most of my PJs were broken for it in EDO I don't particularly miss it, but even if I did... I'm just shy of 4,895,000,000 credits so... yea, best not to think about it.
I appreciate the communication and the work of the team. But honestly, the two biggest issues are performance and grind. It seems there is, months after release, still months to go before any really serious performance gains can be expected, and no news about grind at all.
It's cool you can turn your taxi around, wear a differently looking outfit and may or may not see a plant in social spaces, but still.

Now this is what I have been waiting to see. A list of a few possible content updates. It doesn't matter if it's not set in stone, it's just nice to see the sort of things you are working on.
Well done. We need more of this type of update.
Let's hope that this can be enjoyed on older consoles (PS4 and Xbox 1)
