Greetings Commanders,
Hope you're having a fine week so far.
Here to have a brief check in today regarding an issue around some rather nervous noises heard coming from Commander wallets, regarding Fleet Carrier upkeep costs looking a little on the heavy side.
Some upkeep costs were reported as being inflated by as much as triple the expected totals.
Issue:
Carrier upkeep was failing to be deducted under the regular, planned cadence, causing it to stack up and show inflated totals in Carrier management.

I'm very pleased to say that earlier today the finance department...I mean the dev team pushed a smart, undercover fix for the issue, which will ensure your weekly carrier upkeep is more in line with what you're expecting going forward.
{EDIT ON 24/06/2022}
PLEASE NOTE:
Any light hearted humour above aside - Apologies for the confusion caused with the issue and thank you always for your thoughts and feedback.
Have a lovely rest of the day and week ahead!

PLEASE NOTE:
- This fix will not take effect until the next maintenance tick, which will take place at normal time next week.
- At which point all of the accrued upkeep costs that you see up until that point, as a result of this issue, will be deducted from your balance.
- From then on (post maintenance tick), Carrier upkeep costs will be accumulated and deducted as you were used to, as normal. There have been no changes to the way upkeep costs will be displayed or managed for you moving forward, the way the upkeep system has been behaiving was the result of an unfortunate issue in occurance.
- The fix will also be present for Horizons players as well as Odyssey.
