FC Support Ship forms part of FC?

[Drelthar]

It has been pointed out before

Basically... (many many things were said here)....

Well... I hope your version of things is right - but I would erm... lower those expectations.

Mine are that it will be a portable starport with less services, based on which support ship it has, and the support ship will not be pilot-able in any way shape or form.

I remember they said that FC can be engineered. Bad, very bad in my opinion. But that it probably means that you need to engineer at least the FSD to reach that performance.

WHAT?!@ when was this said?! please no!

You got a source on that? I don't think I've seen this anywhere, and it's not like there's been a lot of different info drops on the subject.

I guess it was indicated on the same video from which OP took the images

Nah, it doesn't say anything about engineering. Only "a range of customisation options".

Something got me thinking. Tehy say you can't go on the bridge of the carrier. But does that include the support craft? maybe we can fly the support craft, but the true bridge is on the back part of the carrier behind the landing pads or something.

Edit: The above video potentially confirms this as it has a weird bridge like thing on the back end and the support craft on the front.

Also remember you have to mine lots of bromellite to fuel the carrier.

 

[Noobilite]

We'll I can finally make use of the bromellite spots I've found. Just need more bookmarks. Hopefully fleet carriers come with extra bookmarks.

Only the exploration variant.

 

[Red Anders]

I would definitely not assume any real-time, "commander's chair" piloting of either the FC or support ship

Yeah, my assumption from day one with carriers is that they will basically work like the Gnosis - you jump it somewhere using the system map and when it arrives it is basically a stationary location that functions like an outpost but with large pads included. I certainly don't see myself cruising around a system in one - that's what you'd use the ships it carries for.

You're right, I probably seen it somewhere else but I really hope I'm wrong

FD: "No, you can't go on the bridge of fleet carriers"

Players: "So we can FLY THE SUPPORT SHIP! COOL!"

Quote me a source where FDev says that.

I think I'm generally reasonably knowledgeable as far as elite goes....

But me reading this thread....
