ANNOUNCEMENT Fleet Carriers - Content Reveal Announcement

[Artie]

This number is not entirely valid, since it counts those that were registered but are not coordinating. Example to me counts as cmdr, because at the time I was logged in but I have not been active in INARA for more than 4 years, so you have to be careful.

That's correct, I never used that number in the estimates exactly for the reason you mentioned. I am just mentioning it for the illustration the rankings listing is a very limited subset and there is much more commanders that provided the data, but decided not to be listed.

 

[Lightspeed]

That is 8% actually...

Yes .... it is ... I'll correct in my post above

 

[zimms]

That's very false assumption based on a very incomplete data set. [...]

Exactly.

 

[Kekkonshiki]

Will the FC services be open to NPCs?

 

[Ozric]

I thought it was only 2.8% that could afford Fleet Carriers

 

[ZAKALWEINC8876]

Lmao. If some NPC punk is hogging say, the only Large landing pad on MY carrier...

Can i just blow him up scott free? It is my pad/carrier after all....

And if that works for NPCs....

Sorry, just a thought, as you were.

There'll be eight large pads on a Carrier.

No, it's 97.2% can't afford them

 

[alexzk]

An Obsidian Ant Poll gives 4% [Edit plus another 4% = 8%]

Edit - source:

4 +4 who can buy = 8, and 18 close to it, 26% total.

 

[CMDR Yates]

If a commander loiters over a pad and gets destroyed by the Carrier defences, does the owner get credit for the kill?

 

[Lightspeed]

I can't afford a Fleet Carrier, but when I do eventually get there, I will kit it out so well it will be among the top 1% of Fleet Carriers out there !

Fair enough. Would have to be a Beluga mating pod then i guess.

Waiting for tomorrow to find out more details, i wonder if you do get a no fire zone around the carrier? Hopefully tomorrow we have something to be hitting the party button about

I'm not so sure of those all 18% being "close". The spread in that band is 2 to 4 billion, and it would be quite a push for all to get there, or want to get there.

18%, of those who chose to answer the poll, have somewhere between 40% and 80% of the cost of a Carrier.

There are more than 11k players in the game.

The kind of player that used to board flip (before that loophole was closed) probably has a large overlap with players that can afford to buy a Fleet Carrier

But it's more likely to be at least 2.8% rather than only

Honestly, i think they should triple all Thargoid bountys and bring back AXCZs.

Then we can get on with the bubble burning, battlestar galaxiaing mega move to Colonia in the FCs, and i wont have to go space crazy(er) mining in the meantime

I think Thargoid bounties need a serious buff. In the early stages the bounties don't cover the rebuys.

Hell no, nowhere near for me when i was going for my first cyclops kill, before i joined AXI even this was.
My FGS got blowed up repeatedly! Did i care? Hell no, one of those things was getting blown up sooner or later, by me!

Happy days in a terrible build

Are you aware that AXCZs are a thing again? They came back a month or two back.
