Fleet Carrier FAQ
- Thread starter Factabulous
- Start date
If I buy a Carrier, say in Diso, and the system is 'full' of other players' carriers, then my Carrier will spawn in another system.
Now, if I want to fit out my Carrier, that can only be done at a system with Carrier facilities. So, what happens if all the local fitting-out systems are full of Carriers? How do I fit out my Carrier if I can't get to an 'empty' enough Carrier services system?

There are hundreds, if not thousands of systems with FC Administration, most of them are empty: just do not go to popular systems.
A quick search on Inara shows 100 systems within 112ly of Diso: just pick one!

And this might sound like a daft question, but does the Carrier actually have to jump to the FC Admin system, or can I send one of my smaller ships there and 'book' the upgrade remotely?There are hundreds, if not thousands of systems with FC Administration, most of them are empty: just do not go to popular systems.

Unfortunately, the carrier has to be in the system
Righto, fair enough. Thanks for your help!
Congratulations for your Fleet Carrier, I suppose?Righto, fair enough. Thanks for your help!

Tried that, so little dice it might as well be a coin flip.Frontier Support
Addition: I can rearm at it, but it's my own carrier so of course I don't have problems with it, but squadmates are all reporting the issue.

Suspend the service via the Fleet carrier management screen, wait until server tick Thursday then re-enable it, happened mine before and this was Fdevs ticket response
FD's version of a reboot. LOL.
Turn the galaxy off and on again... every Thursday
Fdevs way of getting us to fix the issue rather than go down through and issue tracker and wait for people to vote on it and it going into the Raxxla void haha They secretly hate it also lol
It's another case of 'Fine, I'll do it myself.'
In any case, thank you so much for the suggestion, it seems to have worked. Hard to have a support carrier when it can't reammo folk
No problem glad it worked for you albeit the pain it causes
Are there re-buy screens on Fleet Carriers with a ship yard - but not selling ships?
I'm wondering about this and the following scenarios:
Scenario One - Last station you docked at had a ship yard
1 - You are flying your favourite 60+ Ly Jump range exploration ship.
2 - Last place you docked at was a station - either surface station or space station, had a shipyard.
3 - You are out in the black - something catastrophic happens and your ship is destroyed.
4 - You find yourself at the re-buy screen in the last station mentioned in point 2 above... Is this Correct?
Scenario Two - Last station you docked at did not have a ship yard
1 - You are flying your favourite 60+ Ly Jump range exploration ship.
2 - Three stations ago, you docked at a station - either surface station or space station - this station did have a shipyard.
3 - The previous two stations you docked at - either surface station or space station, did not have a shipyard
4 - You are out in the black - something catastrophic happens and your ship is destroyed.
5 - You find yourself at the re-buy screen at station mentioned in point 2 above... Is this Correct?
Scenario Three - Fleet Carrier with a ship yard - selling ships
1 - You are flying your favourite 60+ Ly Jump range exploration ship.
2 - Last place you docked at was a Fleet Carrier - with a ship yard, that was selling ships
3 - Previous to the fleet carrier, you docked at a station - either surface station or space station - with a shipyard
4 - You are out in the black - something catastrophic happens and your ship is destroyed.
5 - You find yourself at the re-buy screen in the Fleet Carrier in point 2 above... Is this Correct?
Scenario Four - Fleet Carrier with a ship yard - not selling ships
1 - You are flying your favourite 60+ Ly Jump range exploration ship.
2 - Last place you docked at was a Fleet Carrier - with a ship yard - but not selling ships
3 - Previous to the fleet carrier, you docked at a station - either surface station or space station - with a shipyard
4 - You are out in the black - something catastrophic happens and your ship is destroyed (How many times now? Damn you're unlucky!)
5 - You find yourself at the re-buy screen in the station you docked at in step 3... Is this Correct?
Apologies if this is somewhat long winded... But just wanted to know if ship re-buy screens are dependant on these certain aspects.
I haven't tested it myself and wondered if anyone had first-hand experience of finding themselves at a re-buy screen on a fleet carrier.
And does it make a difference the Fleet carrier, in these scenarios, is your own or someone else's?
