Fleet carrier jump timer.

I think something is wrong here

Just cancel and try again. Happens sometimes.

Already did, it didnt help( Now its 1h15mins

 

[Robert Maynard]

During periods of high demand for Carrier jumps the time to jump is increased.

 

[Helmut Grokenberger]

someone should sticky this information in the most public place available. It would have a slight chance to cut the threads about jump times after an update in half.

IIRC this feature was added around U12 to U14.

Not by an hour and 15 it wasn't. Its should be 15 mins

The queue system for jumping with longer jump times during high demand was added because the servers couldn't cope with load from carrier jumps and nobody could log in and play.

 

[angusmadmac1]

But why is everyone jumping carriers ?? At the same time ?? Or is there something u16 has brought in ?

On patch day, yes. We're not on patch day, so it should be back to normal

There's still things to visit. Carrier jump time spikes always last at least to the next day after an update drops.

This maybe, but its not like Elite has huge numbers these days, I still feel like this is an oversight by FDev.
And whats to say any other day fleet carriers aren't jumping in mass and theres no delay

 

[angusmadmac1]

I would understand it if there was a need for anyone to mass jump carriers ? But U16 didn't bring that need . Unless everyone is making a beeline away from the bubble ?

Now there's wishful thinking, I'm sure they'll take as much notice as with the CG rewards not appearing the moment a CG completes.

From another (necro'd) thread on the topic courtesy of @varonica

What problem? Originally carrier jump times were 2 hours when first released, this was reduced and reduced and reduced again due to player demands, all the while FDEV stating that there was a point where they could no longer reduce the time and that every jump time reduction could potentially cause issues due to server processing, networking and carrier numbers. Oh look, it's now causing the issues that FDEV warned about when players kept demanding faster jumps. The problem only exists in the players heads, it's of their own making. They reduced the time eventually to what they said was the absolute minimum, which means that any activity out of the ordinary will, not may but will, affect carrier jump times. The players got what they wanted with the understanding there may be delays due to carrier congestion and jump numbers, so where is the problem again?

A new update dropped, people are jumping (en masse) to:
-The final resting place of The <redacted>
-The start of the Michael Brookes tour
-Outfitting stations to retrofit their ships for the new AX evac missions and Scythe enounters.
-AXI seem to be moving most of their carriers for various war purposes with the new tissue samples and membrane drops having increased efficiency, as well as to hoard liberated escape pods

So I'm sorry, but yes, there are tons of people jumping their carriers right now. In a few days things will be back to normal. You're lucky you weren't trying to play when the server was overloaded and giving "No Time Slot Available" errors.

Unless you have solid proof of this, I find this highly doubtful for any other time FC's are jumping en mass. Patch day I get it (sort of), nearly 48 hours later, this is not normal

From the wiki:

The 15-minute preparation period for a Fleet Carrier jump may increase substantially if large numbers of Fleet Carriers are attempting to jump at the same time. This is a queue-management feature built into the game as a server safeguard.[10]

From the source link on the wiki: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/update-11-patch-notes.600732/

Fleet Carrier jump times have greatly increased. This is a deliberate queue-management feature built-in as a server safeguard. We expect many Commanders are jumping simultaneously to experience the jumps from the inside! We expect a return to normal levels once this initial spike in excitement dissipates.

It is built in and completely normal, jump times sometimes go up to 30-45 minutes without an update dropping if a community event or CG is happening. You have literally no understanding of what you're complaining about.

You are free to doubt it, but the increased jump times are proof that it happens. Even 48 hours later.

U16 must be a very special update.
People somehow did not feel the urge to "jump en masse" after U15, U14, U13 U12 etc, for some inexplicable reason.

They in fact did, the post I linked is from U11 where exactly the same thing happened. And it has happened after pretty much every update you listed. And sometimes during popular CGs to a lesser extent.
