Fleet Carrier FAQ

[Factabulous]

Since I bought my carrier the livery icon has always been greyed out when I am docked. Anyone else seeing this?

Normally it will ungrey after a few minutes. Mine have been fine

When you initially open CM when docked the livery is greyed out. Then after 2-3 mins open it is not. Is that right?

No - I found it greyed after I bought the FC - since then livery is available as soon as I dock.

For me even when I am docked it is greyed out. It has always been greyed out. It has never not been. It’s the same on both my accounts.

That does not sound normal. You could raise a support ticket & see if fdev can help

I know a carrier has 16 pads. 8 Large, 4 Medium and 4 small.
If 4 small ships dock in Open (or a PG) does that mean a player in Solo can't dock?

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.

A few questions about SRVs then:

Do I need any service on my FC to have replacement-SRVs on my FC?

If so: Do I need the shipyard-service? How do I get the replacement-SRVs onto my FC?

Thank you in advance! o7

Do I need any service on my FC to have replacement-SRVs on my FC?

Yes. Armoury I believe.

If so: Do I need the shipyard-service? How do I get the replacement-SRVs onto my FC?

No.I guess you could use Outfitting - try clicking buttons in the game

Added a link to the Fdev Carrier FAQ into the OP, as I found it when I was looking for the info ^^^

Mine was. Then I docked at the carrier and it became available.

Yes, the Arrmoury service.

If so: Do I need the shipyard-service? How do I get the replacement-SRVs onto my FC?

No, just the Armoury service. Replacement SRVs will be supplied by this, you don't have to put them on the carrier yourself.

When comes a patch for this bugfest?

 

[Old Duck]

Do visitors benefit from custom ATC voices, or only the owner? I've visited about 5 FCs so far, and all of them are run by robots.

Last Wednesday.

Hey guys I cant stock two tiers of Cargo Racks?

So I can only stock tier one, two or three but not all of them? Is that correct?

 

[BradHann]

After the initial purchase, can you then at some later point add/remove services?

 

[CMDR Snailman]

After the initial purchase, can you then at some later point add/remove services?

Yes, in administration systems.

The answer to this question is yes, visitors DO get to hear custom ATC voices. I finally found one.

Now for a new question - what happens if I die out in the middle of nowhere and the carrier was my last place of docking (and it is still close by), but it does NOT have a shipyard. Will I still spawn there if I accept the rebuy? I'm hitching a ride to Colonia in a shieldless ship, in Open, and I'm hoping not to get sent to some outpost thousands of lightyears away should an accident happen.

What happens if I bookmark a fleet carrier?
When the fleet carrier moves, the bookmark moves with the fleet carrier
