Could be intentional by now, but there's still quite a few places where the Carrier ID (which most Players can't make anything of nor use) is displayed in-game instead of the far more meaningful Carrier Name.

Yesterday I received the big blue jump notification of nearby Carriers while close to them in SuperCruise.

Instead of {Carrier Name} is jumping in xx:xx Minutes it said {Carrier ID} is jumping in xx:xx Minutes.

IMHO seeing something like "AZG-WHF is Jumping" isn't very useful.
Seeing "MCRN Donnager is Jumping" would make alot more sense, especially after our Carrier IDs have turned into "Alphabet Spaghetti" ;)

There remains so much broken with the Fleet Carriers like the storage Ghosts giving weird amounts of cargo in use, the lack of proper maths used when selling data or buying and selling commodities also when I buy limpets or sell limpets back the amounts are never added to my account but they are deducted when I buy limpets. The inconsistencies with paint jobs and so on and so forth. When I sell data to the UC on my FC the systems dont get my CMDR Name on them. Frustrating me in the extreme. So I suspended the UC on my FC. Useless. The constant kick backs to the main menu by Scarlett Krait, Black Adder, Mauve Adder, etc.

Does this all seem too negative. Well it's all true. For one day I could not purchase a FC due to constant Black Adder failures. It did not stop after the update. These crashes are a major pain.

This all makes me want to stop playing until these errors are taken care of.
I hear you. I've shifted my focus to my alt account for the time being as thankfully most of the rest of the game still works.

The paint job issue really ticks me off a lot more than it should, but unlike all the other bugs there's real money involved and can't use them since the latest "patch" went live. I don't understand how FD haven't at least provided a quick comms update on this, let alone release a hotfix for it already. Hope it'll cost them some Arx sales at least.
 
It's the near total silence from even the Community team let alone one of the actual Dev Team involved with Fleet Carriers. It would be real nice to hear about the ETA of any needful patch being chucked our way!!! (If I see just one more Black Adder... my PC goes out the damned window!)......... 😡🤬

P.S. Give me my FC paintjob ARX back if you don't mind!!!!!!!!!!

I simply don't understand this - they have dedicated employees to communicate with the community and not even a "we're aware and envisage a fix within a week or two" to set expectations.

I feel like a complete mug having spent a reasonable amount of Arx, it's not the first time and I should know better, but the thing is, it actually worked at launch (PJs that is) but they shot it to pieces a week later with this seemingly rushed patch that did more harm than good. I know it's the weekend now but it's been almost a week. How long does it take to post a quick heads up on the innerwebz. Poor.

Finally made it into Deep Space with the Carrier.

But even after exploring an arrival System after a Carrier Jump, the Visited Stars Galaxy Map Filter does not recognize it and still paints it as "unvisited".
That'd be ugly, since I need that Filter at my Destination :p

Dang. I can't buy a Fleet Carrier. All I get is black adder and then the game tells me to get lost.
I got the Black Adder but after relogging my carrier was there.
However my first jump froze 2:16 before my first launch. Had to restart the game. PS4
 
My fleet carrier has lost its paint job... I've been back to a carrier system 3 times to put it back on and although is says its still applied as soon as the carrier jumps out of system it's gone.... also Squadron bookmarks are still gone even afterthe patch.

You don't need to be in a carrier administration system to change anything in the livery section. It can be done anywhere. The paint job resetting is also a known issue.
 
Greetings Commanders,

Thank you to everyone who has reported the issues they’ve found since the update went live. We’re reading all the feedback and the development team is working hard on resolving them as we speak.

Current known issues:

  • Commanders experiencing crashes related to connection errors.
  • Various sites missing from the in game world, such as Dav’s Hope.
  • Commanders being unable to purchase a Fleet Carrier.
  • Some Commanders did not have to wait any time for their fast track quota.
    • Fast tracking Powerplay quotas is currently not available while we investigate a further fix.

Thank you for your help in reporting these issues and your patience as we investigate!

Update:

Morning Commanders,

Just an update to say that the development team are already investigating, the community team are reading all your feedback and we’ll be sharing more updates throughout the day when we have them.

Are you investigating the bug that is causing purchased paint jobs to not appear on the carrier? This is very annoying.
 
Same story. I usually select my next target before jumping to supercruise. After one of the recent updates (FC?), almost every target shifts to something else. When starting from an FC or planet surface, POI and FC targets will both change to something different. Can't recall if selected planet changes. In contrast, I believe starting from a station and selecting a planet or star works fine.
 
this is the new "scaling problem". I have too.
This post from earlier WORKS! 👍 Thanks to Morbad and 3NitroT6

Right click on your launcher
Select Properties
Select Compatibility Tab > Change high DPI settings
Check the box "Use this setting to fix scaling problems..."
In the box "Use the DPI that's set for my main display when" set to "I open this program"
In the "High DPI scaling override box " select the check box and set to "System"
Select ok
Select apply
Select ok

Who in their right mind wants to run 406,000 LS to get to the FC that arrived in system after being called from nearly 500 LY away. This is utter and typical of what Frontier give us along with all the other problems everyone is facing. Still no word from Frontier about what has been posted. Utter shoddy treatment of the player base. Have you people no shame by letting us struggle on with this crock.

You're an explorer Shadowwar, you should be laughing in the face of a 20min supercruise trip, I did a 513kls run for a courier mission earlier.

Yes it's not brilliant but it's not a huge issue either, and might be a 'feature' of procedural generation :)
 
Riverside mate my internet is pretty crap these days and the trip with crashes took me about 1 hour. Ran 100 LS and dropped the next time. That strategy worked against my crap internet
 
Sorry 61 pages in, but is the purchased FC paint job keeps reverting back to default paint job when you come back to your FC a known bug?
Feels like I spent ARX for nothing..

Yes, everyone has that issue with the Carrier Paintjobs disappearing and it's been reported.
