I don't think so, not in such an update. I hopeWhats the betting you can buy the carrier for ARX?
(not that i wouldn't, to be perfectly honest lol)
Elite Dangerous: Vanguards - Arriving 19th August
- Thread starter Paul_Crowther
- Start date
Was gonna ask if Vanguards is just a new carrier so thanks for this.
I'm brand new to carriers and don't use squadrons, so what is it that existing carriers can't do that this one "fixes"? I mean they can already hold unlimited ships (with instancing, like most things in Elite). So "bigger" doesn't really change much there. Pic indicates it's got exactly double the pad count of current carriers (assuming none on the "underside"). So maybe a bit less instancing for a group, if it even matters. But any other new feature could probably be added/buffed into the existing carriers. So I guess those other new features (ship sharing, etc) will be access-locked to these new carriers instead of being added to existing ones. Maybe with ARX involved somehow...
Do we know that Elite's carriers / megaships never enter atmo? I mean yeah it's not in the game (yet) but that doesn't mean they can't in lore.
Some of the existing ARX carrier models lean a bit toward "up-lessness" with superstructure on both "top", "bottom", or sticking out at odd angles. Reminds me of the Voltron vehicle series / DaiRugger where the carrier Explorer routinely landed on water, submerging the huge underside superstructure (larger than the topside). Because R&R swimming is good for morale
I think tho there'll always be some kind of relative internal "up vs down" in at least some direction, because you gotta separate the rich people from the plebs anyway
Lol maybe they'll replace the dead lightbulbs in the hangars
Ah, could be.
You're not ambitious enough. Of course a squadron carrier will have to be able to carry all the members' FCs.
Kinda like a truck truck.
I waited for something, and something died
So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived
Well, I guess it's over, I guess it's begun
It's a losers' table, but we've already won
It's a funny battle, it's a constant game
I guess I was busy when nothing came

I'm sorry, am I supposed to pretend to like it? "Such a great model, you can see that hundreds of hours of work went into crafting this, it's amazing! This is the pinnacle of ship design in Elite: Dangerous!". That sort of thing? Don't you think that FDEV would benefit from praise where it's due and criticism when there's room for it?
The nice part about this forum is that you don't have to read everyone's opinion. So feel free to hit that Ignore button next to my name, and you'll never be bothered by my art critic outbursts, no matter how much I'll try to tell everyone.
Actually looking forward to it, it would be a nice change. I always wondered why there are only 4 carrier loadouts - there should be a significant market of carrier owners, shouldn't it?
Although I'm not sure how that would work from the ownership angle. The carrier is supposed to belong to the squadron - so who would be paying for the cosmetic? If it's just the creator / one of the members, then what would prevent that person from just leaving and joining another squadron and gifting it there, then repeat? If it would be a one-time consumable, then the incentive to purchase such a cosmetic would be somewhat diminished, as only the more serious squadron leaders / top ranks would invest the money.
That's not my understanding, I'm guessing one person buys it and everyone contributes to the upkeep, or you boot them

No. not kidding. Not joking. I think it looks kinda garbage to ugly. Just wierd pieces turned and rotated and stuck together.
It would be nice to have a ballpark figure of the credit cost of the squadron carrier, so that we, smaller squadrons, can have a chance to earn enough Cr at the CG. Our crew are all full-time working stiffs with families and don't get as many hours of playtime.
In my maxed-out PC Mk II, it takes 3 hours to earn a billion.

But it transforms into a Coriolis tho
Maybe its like custom motorcycle and "chopper" design here in the states. People stick all sorts of weird pieces together as a "chopper" type of motorcycle.
Some of them look astonishing like a comic book ghost rider kind of design and others...look like chopped up cars with bars and bike seats.
Vanguardbots, transform and boost out.But it transforms into a Coriolis tho
