Best response ever
Fleet Carrier “Full Acct Transfers” has made it to Rackham’s Peak, HIP 58832. Join the occupation today in protest for full account transfers!
- Thread starter CMDR Cr00kedCampbell
- Start date
You are aware that a free and full transfer to PC will:
- reduce the overhead for game servers, saving FDEV money
- immediately increase sale of Odyssey significantly, it is after all what all this fuss is about from the beginning.
- make at least a few people happy and lead to selling ARX, especially to the influx of Odyssey players.
If there are few enough console players, they might even be able to completely shut down that maintenance cost.
Right now they have an obligation to a significant portion of the total player base to keep those running, but only so far that it is economically viable.
Despite popular belief, companies are not welfare organisations that exists to give you stuff for free. And if you bought the game six year ago, you got more game play for your money than most games you ever bought.
Indeed.
But a lot of people have their judgement clouded by spite including the OP and several other posters in this thread.
Why do the requests for news on this protest suddenly bring to mind the previous requests for news on the console update?
Nothing to announce. Stop being so impatient, just wait a little longer
But anyway. If you think that this could be counterproductive, I don't quite see how that is possible. Surely that would require that Frontier base their decision on the community's will, and that the community be spiteful enough to reverse their position about console transfers because they didn't like how someone campaigned for them. At least one of those seems incorrect, or at least at odds with all the other interpretations in this thread.

Possibly the OP's 'protest' has not had the support from other players they imagined there might be? Possibly the others in the 'console community' do not wish to join in a scheme to deny other players the opportunity to enjoy their game?
Perhaps the OP should broaden their scope in how they inform the other console players who might support their proposition, other than here in the forum?
It appears that few have taken up the stance they wished, more effort is needed, perhaps?

Well, Rackham's Peak seems to be under siege and completely clogged by now - and there dont seem to be any public holiday.
Guess i could start submitting some support tickets on this matter and have FDev decide what they're going t do about this silly "protest" which is more spite actually than being a protest
Inara is listing 128 carriers in Rackham's Peak system and 24 in the previous one.

Possibly the 'magic hand of Frontier' will remove them without fanfare, once they have been 'parked' too long?
How many are there normally? (I've never been, and have no need to go)
Firstly a bit of disclosure:
After a 20 year hiatus, last March/April I bought a Xbox series S in order to play elite. A few weeks later Odyssey dropped and I decided I would pay to upgrade when it launched on console.
This hasn’t happened as we know.
I completely agree with what this commander has said in response ….. I don’t believe that the idea of blockage at Rackham’s is the best way forward - however OP feels differently …..
Is any of that popcorn left ?
128 is total max (with a sub limit of maximum 16 carriers per body).
The previous system - not sure. Currently it has 24 carriers
It has no planets, so it should hold maximum 16 carriers, but i read that in Odyssey this limit was increased to 31 (again not sure about the max number of carriers or if the limit was increased manually for this system specifically or it was a general increase)
Sorry, perhaps I phrased the question poorly.
What is the 'normal' population of FCs at Rackham's Peak? Is it often 'nearly full' or only during Public Holidays?
All the carriers haven't changed their names to 'Spartacus' have they?
close to zero when no public holiday is affecting the only faction in the system
close to full during public holiday - but it used to be actively managed by player organized ATC specifically to allow the traffic to flow.

No, and they only sell them at Rackham's. Yes, the situation is that dire.
But my carrier is full of corn kernels waiting to be popped …. I’m now going to look amongst the scrap metal I’ve collected to make a pan that I can hang over the edge of my carrier and use the engines to make some corn…
what’s that ..? Odyssey only?? Darn
Hmm, maybe we should blockade the blockaders and stop them all leaving by parking Fleet Carriers in the previous system so they are stuck there permanently unless they decommission?
The Peak is normally "full" towards the end of each calendar month, not because of our funny protestor
I could do that, but i guess it would be counterproductive.
A support ticket would do it for me.
So people just park their carriers full of booze there waiting for Public Holiday to happen?
Asking because i did checked Rackham's Peak like a week ago and it had 4 carriers
Correct
Many cmdrs tend to fly up there in advance to park a bit closer to the station
