Notice Fleet Carrier Update - Known Issues
And now. Launcher says online. Come in to game, social is grayed out, "Unable to restore your lost session"
So now i cant even play anymore, cant get past this "Unable to restore your lost session" restarting same thing

And here too, i totally agree, mate
I have moved about 33,000LY in the good ship Farport. I only had that happen once. I think it was because I inadvertently hit the Auto Launch button just before FC went to lock down. My Anaconda didn't actualy launch because the lockdown closed down the system but, then the FC jumped without me. I didn't wast tritium though, I simply flew 495 LY to catch up with it. Not saying that's happened in your case though.
Anyone remember how some were saying there may be up to 20,000 FC's in the game and that it was going to cripple the game? Well, when I do eddb stations search on Fleet Carriers, I see a sum total of 4,260 FC's (a little over 85 pages at 50 /page) in the game up to now. By comparison, there are 69,600 other regular stations in the game. That's a 6.1% added load on stations....so far. So it does cost some server time but, doesn't seem outrageous.
It suffices to say, the days of having to go 20,000 LYs to turn in exploration data or repair an at risk ship are gone. I would assume the fuel rats will need to modify their strategy to and get allied with some willing FC's to save their own flight time....

It all depends on the distribution of those and whether a particular part of the game was tested for a particular magnitude of changes. For example, how often did you see a star system with 20+ stations? How often do you see now a star system with 20+ FCs ? And what is the difference in the loading time (when your ship is in the hyperspace)?
I'm thinking of the Thursday one... on a Tuesday... Duh!Servers don't go down for the tick - correlation, not causation ... well, unless someone really messed up
You are, of course, correct - the daily tick goes by unnoticed
Can't believe how many people are ripping into FDev and accusing them of sitting their doing nothing, if you honestly think they're doing nothing behind the scenes to fix the games problems then you're a fool and don't deserve FC's the game or the devs. I get it's frustrating but I guarantee they're doing what they can and I bet most if not all are still working from home which adds its own problems. I know it's difficult but patience is free. If I had one complaint it would be the lack of communication from the team. I'm not a 'White Knight' because I have and do criticise if I think it's warranted. Keep working hard Devs and thanks for the effort.
Thanks!
It's easy to find the system they are in because eddb stations look-up gives the nearest stations and thier ED system name - including FC's now. Coms skills is not my strong suit so, I will have to give your suggestion a try.
Thanks again--
Edit: Wait, how do I see their Cmdr name by looking at the ED star map? They are almost always going to be in a system I have not "discovered".

ok,explain to me then how in the last 3 patches they have written that they have fixed certain bugs and it is a lie ... an example is the stones that cross asteroids, 3 times they have written that it is fixed .... are you sure they work as much as you say? They have had 10 months in which they were going to dedicate themselves to small arrangements ....that was the excuse for the delay ... tell me, how much has the game improved in 10 months? I have found more failures, and after FC I don't even tell you ...
God, there must be as a single person working on the patches, and with 4 days off at least!!!
Elite is their cash cow, of course they're doing what they can to get the game running properly, they want more people playing not less. As for them saying they fixed stuff they haven't I can't answer for them but maybe they were convinced the problem was solved, getting the game to work the same for everyone when it's on PC, XBox and PS4 will be extremely complicated. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but attacking the team doesn't helpok,explain to me then how in the last 3 patches they have written that they have fixed certain bugs and it is a lie ... an example is the stones that cross asteroids, 3 times they have written that it is fixed .... are you sure they work as much as you say?

That's why the first work in my reply was 'If'
Yeah, so this seems like a flaw in the FC concept. Freighters can always hail other freighters or large ships in real life. Without this ability, galaxy flyers are not going to be able visit / make use of a FC without taking a risk it will be gone when they arrive - so I would guess most will not take that chance. Am I missing something here?That's why the first work in my reply was 'If'
I think you now have a full understanding of how it works. The carrier operator that wants players to use their services will no doubt find solutions to advertise their wares in time, probably in a similar way to what player groups do. Most I've seen are restricted to squadron & friends only so far.
I do not think that a little pressure to do the job well will hurt any worker, you should try to dedicate 1 or 2 days to simple hostelry ...
They send you to put errors in the issue tracker, but it seems that they have not looked at it for a long time, and that is 100% evident.
If you tell them everything is fine, they won't do anything, I wouldn't make any changes myself if they tell me everything is fine in my job.
Why is this so difficult for many people to understand?
I have supported and congratulated them in the past, but for one or two years their work leaves much to be desired ... and I mean the entire team, programmers, designers, CM's ... it is a little unfortunate how this started and what it is now, even lacking in content that previously existed.
They copy and paste ramdom responses to keep us quiet which are almost the same from 2 years ago in their official forum !, as if they really didn't read at all.
Sorry, I can't defend that, and more when you see that it seems that they are laughing at you when they publish false compilations of bugs fixed, as if the time of the users was not worth anything, but the livery posts publications every Friday in every page, social network ... have not failed for 10 months.
Yeah it looks like you can get the fleet carrier station name in eddb and then use the station name in INRA to look up the cmdrs name. I have gotten close using INRA but have not quite figured it out yet...Eventually I would guess eddb wil show the stations cmdr name in the station search output. Right now they show everything about the station except that.
Which happens to be my main complaint too, so it would seem we're largely in agreement. I would have to disagree that paying customers who are dissatisfied "do not deserve FCs, the game or the devs" since, by definition, you deserve the product by virtue of having paid for it, much like you deserve a banana if you've bought it, even if you don't like the taste of it afterwards.
My beef with being ignored, on, the other hand, is a pretty big one. I don't appreciate being ignored or being made to feel like I'm being ignored.
And I don't think that it would kill the dev team or set them back in any way to put up the occasional post to let us know what they're working on and why. They sure seem to be able to find time to tweet and facebook. It's the little things, you know. I'm not "entitled" to somebody waving back when I wave at them in public, but just how much time and effort does it take for them?
POST EDIT: I just saw the notice from Tim about the state of the game. All I needed to hear, and I appreciate it very much. +1 to the team for that!
