Gnosis navigates by selecting a System and Body. There have been several occasions where it had parked the Gnosis inside planets and other unsuitable locations. These bugs have been fixed and Gnosis has arrived safely for a long time now.
Fleet Carriers - Community Wishlist
- Thread starter rootsrat
- Start date
We know nothing about what features they will have or how they will work. Its all pure speculation.
Frontier seem mostly leak proof
Guess I'll just lean back and let the surprise hit me whenever it's ready. Just thinking that flying a carrier manually from the bridge would be really... lack of words ... awesome.
That comes from a pilot who loves the T9 feeling. I'd absolutly would like the challange to navigate a mega-brick which needs planning ahead for accleartation and breaking, let alone turning.

Call me Sad McSadlyverysadface, but FD have never actually added anything beyond PP that has made me sit up and go "whoah duuude!" like someone just connected my genitals to mains current. Its about time FD got out of placeholder mode and gave us the real hit for once, right out of the gate. What I don't want to see is more iterative 'wait for the next update before its good' mentality to creep in, because in FD speak that means its not going to get updated.
brrzzzt... doub't I would want that experience
but.. hey, what about your first visit to a Unknown Structure??? This was pretty close to... brzzzt..
Well, some players seem content to just enjoy the existing bland and repetitive content.
They have defended the game, content, features, and FD quite staunchly. Not sure how people can actually appreciate an almost beautiful vase that has a huge crack on one side.
I'd also like fleet carriers to be vulnerable. If you accerlarte too hard or enter orbit with a wrong vector they should be in danger to break apart or catch fire.
I would love if fleet carriers would be a hell to navigate and real danges for the ship involved.
But I am fully aware that in "Elite Optional, danger only if you absolutly asking for it", this absolutly won't ever happen. But that's ok, since Elite Beautyfull is that game I play when I absolutly need a positive downtime just to chill and relax and be happy in rainbows.

I think everyone want the game to improve, but whether you find it bland or feel reptitive is down to the individual and how you play. All games are full of repetition.
I haven't seen anyone actually defend FDev, what I have seen is people having different opinions on what they like.
Yes and the truth is if they wanted our feedback they would ask, you know like they used to. What we want no longer matters to FD they will churn out what THEY want regardless.
Not all speculation, they have outlined a basic pitch:
That sounds like what the pitch is on mobility. Just jumps. As Dommarraa said, the Gnosis is probably a good template. Better to temper your expectations to what they've said

I highly suspect that Carriers, alongside most systems have been in ED, will be "v1.0" on arrival and offer a subset of a final feature set. We still don't have rumours in the FSS, so I'm skeptical of anything but a place to dock, refuel and... well, that's about it. Maybe being able to call a few ships in so you can have that thing we've all wanted for ages "Load outs" (if anyone is, or was, a WoW player you'll know what a boon they were)... but I doubt even that. They'll be big, expensive, horrible to fuel and a pain in the backside to manage.
I can't wait.

Nice, thanks for that! I personally don't have ANY expectations. Previous releases and overhyping their content by FDEV taught me to assume "wait and see" stance.
However - since Fleet Carriers were delayed a full year, I hope we will get more features that outlined in the above quote.
(Disclaimer: hope != expectation

It was nice, just like all the alien assets they were well done and atmospheric.
The problem is these places only work once, and don't actually generate the free form drama and player content PP does, withered as it is.

You sound like my mum on Xmas Eve. The next day my dreams of that spaceship Lego lie smashed at my small disappointed feet.
Reminds me of Interstellar Initiatives. Not only did they hype the first one up before it was introduced, they then had the nerve to hype it up again after it finished, pretending it was amazing and loved by the community, when in actuality it seems that most of the community hated it.
I found landing on planets quite good. The buggy. The scanner. Bases. The whole soundscape. But you cant do that all the time of course. Escpecially not when AI cancerships buffed beyond any reason spawn on your sorry vanilla rear.

Well, still in the interests of tempering expectations, I've a feeling that delay was more to do with ironing out pitfalls .. what happens to game (or BGS) performance if 350 fleet carriers, and all associated Cmdr ships, decide to descend on Sol in five minutes flat. That kind oif thing.
I'm also in the 1.0 camp. Certainly not expecting Carriers to have all bells and whistles from the off .. but a safe implementation and basic functionality hopefully gives a foundation for more later on.
Buggy: frictionless meh. Nice moon jazz.
The scanner. Does the job, not exactly thrilling though.
Bases- alien ones are nice the first time around. Then its a case of doing them as fast as you can x times. Human bases? OK, but what gameplay do they add? Just like alien bases you have limited things to do, and once done it becomes repetition.
The soundscape is indeed ace, if lacking in new music.
AI 'cancerships'? You having a laugh or something? The ones that come after me are made of some sort of spreadable cheese, like an Aldi own brand Philadelphia.
Fun, thats what. Not for Dav who would be having some sort of episode but I'm salivating at having loads of player carriers crammed into places.
My guess is they will also include a lot of stuff, among other things. And deep, rich actions will be able to be done.
