Fleet Carrier FAQ

this is sort of a naive question. what benefits does visiting a carrier give me? does it offer exclusive services or can i make good cash there somehow? why should i care?
You may want to check in EDDB the systems that sells Tritium at a very low price. You will likely find FC parked there that buys Tritium giving you a large margin of profit.
 
Maybe i'm just not smart enough but.......i've purchased the Fleet Carrier at Diso - Shifnalport not payng attention that the system is ruled by Edmund Mahon and now my "Carrier Security Rating" says "Independent - welcome" with and independent logo near that.......i'm wondering if there is a way to change that from independent to (hopeful) Federation. Please don't tell me that i have to sell back and rebuy the FC in another Federation ruled FC vendor system! 😵View attachment 176646
All FCs are independent. I guess it depends on the fact that they do not influence the BGS.
 
A few questions about drones:
Is this confirmed: you need the armoury-service to restock drones on your ship from your fleet carrier?
If so: Do you need a stock of drones on your FC or are they produced directly on the FC?

As an explorer, I no longer have to travel tens of 1000s of ly to sell my data, or to get my name stamped on a cool discovery.
If I destroy an SRV whilst out in the black, I can get it restocked at a carrier.
I can get my ship repaired at a carrier.

Jump to a differently aligned system - it reflects where you are.

ofc you have probably also got the Independent insignia on your hull near the nameplate (unchangeable AFAIK, others have it worse, they bought from the Empire when they didn't want to :) )
Interesting, so if 16 cmdrs are occupying your landing pads does that mean you can't land yourself and can't evict them, I'm thinking griefers here?
If you don't have access to Solo maybe Support can help you? :) Difficult to block pads if they can't share your instance ...

Minimum Stock Hold.png

Am I being dense as I can't find a way to set the minimum stock hold amount. I'm just messing with the market to see what works and in this case, I only want to sell 6k of stock and reserve 5. Is this not implemented? I've tried this from remote and, in this screenshot, I'm sat on the carrier using the management screen.

Well, i'm setting up the explosives charges to blow up my Carrier! :(
 
If I sell something to a FC's commodity market, does the money come from the owner's cash or does it just magically appear like all other markets? Likewise if I buy something, does the money go to the owner's account?
 
I don't think so, i've seen a ton of other players gameplay and a lot of them have different status under the security rating and the logo near the status is going accordingly to the showed faction
Security it's a different thing thouhg. FDEV explained the more you stay in a system and the more economical transaction you have, the more the local faction gets ed off by your presence and the security level increases.

The FC market does not allow to place the purchase order if the bank does not have sufficient credits.
 
I can’t appear to change my livery. Do have to be in an administration system for that... do we? .... they mostly come at night.,... mostly.

There's a way to get live prices of commodities that includes fleet carriers ...

(I'm keeping the link in my sig as well ... the more people who know about it, the better)

Sorry if this is a silly question, but how does one transfer tritium stored in the Carrier’s cargo to the fuel depot? Do you have to transfer it back to a ship and deposit it each time?

Is someone able to answer this for me? I've been digging around the GUI and I can't find a way to simply restock the Fuel Depot using Carrier reserves - it only appears possible by transferring it back to a ship first. Is that right?
