So, question: if we're setting commodity prices, does that mean we're managing an inventory, too? Are we risking taking a bath with generous sell prices when we go to sell off our stock at a real station?
ANNOUNCEMENT Fleet Carriers - Content Reveal Announcement
- Thread starter Stephen Benedetti
- Start date
Indeed it would be, and TBH I was not serious in my ARX proposal anyway. Thing is just that after 4 years and ~4k hrs ingame, I still only have about 1.5bn cash, and 5bn is the entry price even. So I will likely never get one, as I never succumbed to any quick rich schemes or exploits and won't start that habit now.
O7,
wONDERING IF THERE WILL BE A PLAYER SHIPYARD/TRANSFER feature as well as group storage for squadron mining or resources gathering/trading. sorry bout the caps lock.

Fleet Carriers jump into Elite Dangerous | Invision Game Community
Frontier Developments has revealed the first details on Fleet Carriers, an eagerly awaited update to the long-running space simulator, Elite Dangerous.

Wonder how accurate that article statement is...
QUESTION: Will docked ships (assuming they are on the pad) be vulnerable to attack by others, or can the FC protect them in some way ?
... and then call the Tritium Tapirs to fill you up again! I think we have a business plan!
Death ray upgrade: 10bil cr.
I never noticed the giant space endowment dangling below- is this new?
Hmmm ... possible, I suppose. Would that mean outfitting in space rather than a hangar? The teaser video last year showed the hangar elevator on a carrier going down. That could be just for ship-turning purposes, or just way-pre-beta demo footage.

From article....
"to support the weekly upkeep costs, from wear and tear maintenance to crew wages and Tritium, a new fuel commodity needed to power the megaships. "
"but they will also need to plan and balance their finances to cover running costs, as persistent debt that eventually exceeds the debt threshold could see carriers decommissioned and sold for parts. "
Interesting.
I think we've seen the animation of the pads retracting, so presumably they dont just retract when jumping
That's enough for a big ol' mining vessel. Top miners make over 250 MCR/h. I'm closer to 100-150 MCR/h because I suck, but even assuming you're as bad at it as I am, you're 35 hours away from FC money. You can probably do that before June. (I know, I know, it's boring. Audiobooks and podcasts help a lot.)
I'm probably stretching here, but those pictures do appear to show the Carrier around various different planets. I wonder if the method of jumping includes designating one to appear around (rather than the star), since we cannot pilot them manually. It makes sense in my head at least. Maybe within a certain LS distance... or would that be cheating?
That's a good point, they dont appear to be at the entry point to a system near the star, so there must be a way to choose the body? I wonder how this works in uncharted space?I'm probably stretching here, but those pictures do appear to show the Carrier around various different planets.

All good - new is good!
They are not expensive ... in a week of mining you get it
Yay! Will they be available from Colonia shipyards, or do i need to start plotting back to the bubble..?

All speculation as of now of course, but I hope there are some safeguards to prevent player set prices from becoming an easy means for selling credits for real world money. It seems a Fleet Carrier might be a "gold seller's" dream resource.
