No such luck, that's on a separate timeline.
Many folks have reported having difficulties moving round their carriers. People wanting to move their carrier that aren't in the bubble and aren't doing any colonization right now, they are stuck. I keep seeing No free time slots and can't squeeze in a repositioning of my carrier. One could ask, as this is a space sim, why while I'm out in the black I'm bound to time slots anyway.
I hope some improvements can be made to allow more slots and/or allow carriers (far) further away from the bubble to be less impacted if at all by all those busy colonists

Good, this pretty much answers the ticket I submitted.
Arcologies returned to the wild...8000 systems...
Soon the "bubble" will be the nature reserve that's kept away FROM being colonized.
If we go by the track record of PP2 "temporary disabling", the feature might look very different afterwards.
Yes, its very HAL 9000 like.

That's not how it works. It's all down to the shared server timing, when it's full it's full, everywhere, for everyone, no getting around it.Many folks have reported having difficulties moving round their carriers.

There's a knack to getting a slot...
And then, where people see a problem, I see another opportunity for game options: 10 free time slots for just under 100k ARX.
EA would be proud, no doubt.
Probably too many staff at Galactic Flight Control were let go or something
Pizza.
1,000,000 ARX to claim, 10,000,000 ARX to pre-build.
That's a bit much for a claim, but would fit a fleet carrier. Together with zero-upkeep, of course.
NO, the last thing that we want is people with too much money physically buying and abandoning permanent assets in space, try x2 or x3 Cr maintenance costs
Perhaps an option to buy-in to a removal request can help here. Like 30k ARX, maybe? With this minor fee, you would be able to nominate one of the permanent assets as abandoned, and get FDEV personnel to investigate, eventually seeing a legit abandoned asset being removed. The same could possibly be done for other assets as well, like system colonizations, PMFs, squadrons, or whatever comes next.NO, the last thing that we want is people with too much money physically buying and abandoning permanent assets in space, try x2 or x3 Cr maintenance costs
This is really off topic for this thread but.
The lack of maintenance payments eventually does this automatically
A further incentive to carrier usage could be a requirement for a minimum number of jumps over a 6 or 12 month period which could help with some systems becoming full, or a relocation into an "empty" system after a max stay period, with exceptions given for out of the bubble carriers.
How should that exception system work? If it is a manual procedure, it will produce maintenance work for FDEV. Anything not attached to ARX is basically work they have to do for free. I'm not sure if this is in their strategy at the moment. How could it be done automatically? Distance to bubble?
All the first footfalls have disappeared:
As well as first footfalls disappearing, there are two Nav Beacon signals (but one is the colonisation beacon, when you drop in - these were meant to despawn!) and the system went "unexplored" with no system map available from a distance.
Station I finished last night is still "under deployment" with no people. It has mission boards though...

Well, npcs and system signals obviously spawn in inhabited systems. But the salient point is, as I've said, I don't think that's true for planetary signals, as when I tested you could find them as far as 2500 ly out, even from Colonia, it's just been a while since I actually tested that, and it is entirely possible they changed things when they fixed the Odyssey bug. I have to assume colonized systems are counting as inhabited, though, since they're definitely spawning npcs and system signals and such, even before delivery is completed on the initial station. If somebody from Fdev could clarify how human spawns are dictated, that would certainly be appreciated.
