Fleet Carrier in Thargoid Space

[Hooplah]

What happens if take my fleet carrier with ships designed to take out any Thargoid into the worst Thargoid space with update 14? Anyone tried it? How does FCs already in Thargoid space before update 14 do?. Any difference? I'm thinking with a Malestrom system the FC won't jump there. But I am bored so might give it a try.

Frontier nerfed my BP Trintium tanker buying cheap then selling it in the boonies at a lower cost than at any station. Oh well something to do.

You can't jump into Thargoid attacked or occupied systems.
What happens when a system your carrier is in is overrun? No Idea, didn't happen yet I think.

Almost certainly your FC jumps to safety on the tick without actually jumping. Mine was in Swahki or however you spell it when update 14 landed and was then 150ly away for free.

Mine did it again at the tick. Now a couple of hundred light years away from Taranis.

Thanks for the info. Wow, this sounds like a nice safety feature for carriers...Or is it the Devs way of clearing out 100 fleet carriers in a system? Some players are not going to be happy.

I finally got around to moving my ships and stored modules to the fleet carrier instead of nearby at my home orbiting station. As for legacy I won't be playing much. Time to do the opposite moving all to the station as I'm still paying weekly maintenance on a carrier that I won't be using.

I think it's more that they don't have any mechanics for trashed player fleet carriers, so they move them away so they don't have to do extra work/listen to players complaining that Thargoids blew up their fleet carrier.

Hehe I was a little Bit afraid and jumped my FC away before Reading this. Better Safe than sorry.

I actually just forgot to move it.

Should make it an option. But: if you want to jump your carrier into a dangerous area, you should know ahead of time that your fleet carrier could suffer the same kind of damage as a station. But I do like the idea of putting a fleet carrier in there because after all what else are they for?

Just as long as everyone knows that there is a risk involved.
