You can enjoy FC's too because their owners can let you land on them, use their services and hitch a 500ly ride.

Wait until you see the options price list...
Just curious, how does one "Win" in Elite. For example, if I bought a FC with ARX, how would I "win" over you? Seriously think about that.
It's not a unique gold rush it's been there since 3.0 was released
That would depend on what they do to space when they jump. I'd imagine, if you weren't being roasted by the radiation, the gravitational wave from a couple of black holes colliding would be quite loud, vacuum or not.
It's why I said what I said; not becuase it's possible to pool resources but because the indication is that we can set prices in our own Carrier marketplace. That's a new thing (if interpreted correctly), so perhaps the Carrier usage has evolved way beyond that initial annoucement. The "load out" part certainly has. It's not impossible, but unlikely, I'll grant you!
Pledge with LYR (or what's his name). After 4 weeks, you get triple rewards for cartography data.
Then do that and get the FC at some point after the instant of release.
After all it is highly unlikely that they are only going to be available for a limited period.
Considering how much a Corvette costs, if you extrapolate that to a FC with 16 landing pads then a cost of 5 Bil is probably right around the correct price point.
However, I wanted a jump range of 400,000 LY please.
Are they still doing the support ships to modify the missions of the FCs?

looks like a larger version is on polygon

So I can make the same amount of credits 'farming' passenger missions in many systems other than Robigo? Excellent!
I never noticed the giant space endowment dangling below- is this new?
First - this is awesome news. I have been waiting on this for so long, and am very excited to finally hear more. Kudos to the team!
Second ... Serious question ... where do the ships go?
The landing pads on the carrier appear to be nose-to-tail. Station hangars in game are not directly underneath the pads, but "ahead" of them, in the direction of the landing, which for most pads in that image would be underneath another pad. Similar thing with the sliding pad that rolls out over the opening when your ship takes the elevator down to the hangar ... slides out from "ahead" of the pad.
New hangar layout? Multiple folded quantum dimensions inside the carrier granting it Tardis-like expandability? New "stretch" carrier layout to accommodate station-like hangars?

I think there's a system for that once the carriers arrive. We can set prices and levy tariffs, right?
1) Set price of biowaste to 1,000,000 CR/t.
2) Giver buys 100t.
3) Set price of biowaste to 1 CR/t.
4) Receiver buys 100t, giver sells 100t.
5) Set price of biowaste to 1,000,000 CR/t.
6) Receiver sells 100t.
That moves roughly 100 MCR from A to B, I think. With tariffs, there's also a commission for the FC owner, so there's some incentive to arrange wealth transfer events.
Definitely some visual updates.

Or just pads with no hangers?
