Fleet Carriers coming Dec 2019 [Accidental Trailer Leak]

[Lightspeed]

Now I wish I'd saved links to some of the many indignant posts complaining about how Carriers were now going to be in a paid 2020 update and fdev has promised them for free. lol.

Or even the one that tells us they are cancelled

 

[Factabulous]

This ought to cover most of them.

Spoiler

Nah, that's the lepers finding out that the plebs are getting more stuff and not having to pay

There's still plenty of time for FDev to cancel them before December

That's true - they only announced ice planets at Lavecon so they would have something to cancel

Looks legit ¯\(ツ)/¯

Surely a fake. According to sources FDEV had stopped developing Elite altogether, nevermind carriers.

Same thing, though, innit?

Didn't you notice the man in the control tower duck down as it came into view ?

By the way @Golgot where does the alleged 2019 reference come from?

edit: nevermind, saw it.

I'm assuming this video will be coming tomorrow.

if not then I'll be assuming it was a fan creation

Yup, one of the other.

Hey guys it's good to see you hyped and I will not stop this train. Cool it's cool but.. I mean this is only for multiplayer, I don't think we will ever get one of these as a personal base.

I agree. Game is dead since 2015, and doomed since 2014.

How can this be a hype when a promised feature of a season is at least delayed by one year? I think they already had it 95 % ready and are now trying to fill the gap towards space burps or whatever is coming in 2020.

Contain yourself, you can't take this level of excitement!! You'll BLOW!!!

Now im just looking forward to the "this is not what I wanted" and "please nerf carriers" threads.

Ha. RAGEQUIT!!

They mostly come at night. Mostly.

I suppose fleet carriers is good for the guildy types of players. Assuming FD make it multiplayer only like wing mates and crew however for the rest of the playwrbase I fear there will be nothing in it.

It really saddens me that at some point the NPC driven game with optional MP options filling the role changed direction and I am now fearing will never come

Whatever fuels them has to work outside the bubble - people are going to go exploring in carriers because why not?

Sure, but it doesn't have to be easy. Market H-Fuel would be straightforward to bring anywhere in the bubble but get progressively harder when used for exploration (also, it would give an actual use for that commodity). It'd be an interesting logistics challenge with corresponding rewards in terms of convenience once it was out there.

...again!

 

[Lightspeed]

Forgot to add the "I play solo why cant I have this, im being victimised" threads that'll pop up.

All in all for someone who finds more entertainment in the forum than the game I feel this is gonna be awesome for me.

Fleet Carrier doesn't suit my gamestyle,

Spoiler: there's no

Spoiler

Come to think of it .... there will be "Isn't it about time we had a kit for the Fleet Carrier?" threads also.
