ANNOUNCEMENT Fleet Carriers - Content Reveal Announcement

[Soron Silin]

I've got 800M already and I haven't been out mining that much. The biggest load I've hauled is maybe 50 tonnes and I've only done one a week or so. Five billion will require some grind but not much.

 

[marx]

Welcome news, looking forward to details on the stream, especially about exploration capabilities. But five billion Cr? I wonder how many players will be able to afford that, especially those who didn't do credit rushes.

 

[yianniv]

I wonder how much the upgrades are going to cost. A cutter is about 180ml and its reactive surface composite armour is at 418ml.

 

[zimms]

5,000,000,000cr at launch....

That's way too much...

Only old players who used Robigo and others things like that could afford it
Reduce that to 2 000 000 000 and that would be good

No, only new players who used VOs can afford it.

 

[BiggWigg92]

Finally some news!

Especially when it's good news...

 

[Rubbernuke]

I wonder (since carriers will have markets) we have avatars to greet visitors?

 

[ZGUR]

great news! can see the details finally, o7.

 

[Eckee]

5 billion lol. I'll pass.

 

[ZAKALWEINC8876]

Let the Pulse wave insanity commence!

Ping, Ping, Ping, Ping

Good news, better late than never

o7

 

[Stephen Benedetti]

Look forward to it! Will there be a questions thread for the stream, or are questions hoovered up from all over?

Hey @Rubbernuke,

As always, we'll try our best to answer questions wherever possible. During the Content Reveal livestream, Dav, Luke and the community team will be in the chat.

Following the stream, we'll also be posting up a recap here on the forums.

 

[The Lawful]

5bn? It would have been better if we could buy them for ARX then. I won't sell my entire fleet for one or start a mindless grind.

O7,

 

[Rubbernuke]

I suppose the most important question of all- do fleet carriers make the PSH PSH crackly lightning BWOOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRR cap ship swirly entrance?

 

[[VR] Mad Life Crisis]

costing 5,000,000,000cr

I'll buy one for every faction.

I wonder how much paint jobs will be.

Uhh, no. Nothing that serves any in-game purpose other then 'looks good' should ever be able to be bought with ARX (and by extension, real money). That'd be the beginning of the very, very slippery Pay-to-Win slope.

From the trailer:

... which suggests that they might indeed.

 

[WILLIAM BILL ADAMA]

1000ly jump, plz!

 

[Eckee]

FCs won't win you anything though.

These things are massive! So you can guess they make a lot of noise when they jump!

 

[CMDR L0rd M3m3z]

So where will we be able to buy the carriers? Random stations with shipyards? Specific stations with fleet carrier dockyards?
