Fleet carrier discount.

[Lucius Banes]

Did u have to take part in last week's cg to get the discount? I'm in the Alcor system right now, and no discount is being offered?!

... and so it begins ...

 

[Vandaahl]

[Lucius Banes]

It must be troll o'clock

Nah - Learn2Read a'clock - just like after every CG

Additionally, Brewer Corporation will offer reductions to Fleet Carriers and Fleet Carrier outfitting at Macdonald Settlement in the Alcor system, based on the tier reached. These will last for one week starting on Friday the 15th of October 3307.​

Tier 1 will provide a 10% discount. Each additional tier will provide a further 5% discount, up to a maximum of 30%.​

​

The campaign begins on the 7^th of October 3307 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.​

Yeah, I don't think that's fair this time. Today's news literally says:

"Payment for contributing pilots is now available at Macdonald Settlement in the Alcor system and Jaques Station in the Colonia system. Both starports also offer a temporary discount on purchasing and outfitting to owners of our Drake-class Carriers."

On topic: soon™

Do we know at what time the fleet carrier discounts will kick-in on the 15th October?
As I write this its 0:20 UTC 15 Oct, and carriers are still 5 Billion Cr in Alcor

As if there aren't enough carriers around already...

Given that, I expect that the discount will start at 24 hours past the weekly tick on Thursday morning, which is 0700 UTC (this is also the in game time).

Completely OT, I always want to reply to this statement with "There is a hole in your mind"... but doubtful many would understand the reference.

 

[CMDR FRJ]

Any updates on that?
I did not participate in the CG and I still don't see the discount. Can anyone see the discount yet?

I looked again this morning and no discount.

 

[Lucius Banes]

I thought it was like the exploration cg we just had. Didn't take part but the luxury liner ships were discounted for everyone.

 

[CMDR Kobayashi]

Took part and finished up high, but as it stands now (7.20 thu 15th in game time) no discounts available yet.

No sign of the discount as of 07:25 15 Oct 3307.

There appears to have been 2 BGS ticks in the last 24hrs (07:36 UTC and 14:39 UTC), so the timing of the discount may be delayed if Schielman's post above (with info about the discount occurring 24hrs after the tick) is accurate.

As ever

So .. does this mean you could sell all your carrier modules, then buy them back at a discount a d you'd get a bunch of credits out of it?

Because that'd be worth it

Guess you always sell at current rate.
Selling now would net you a -30%
