Bad luck? Same if you're in a ship and jump out of range, hope another FC brings you sufficient fuel
Thought they weren't capable of being in the same system as another FC

From what I've read there will only ever be one Carrier in an instance. There can be many, many instances in a single system.
(Not a question ish)- fueling carriers: do we collect and drop fuel like an open ended cargo depot mission, or is tritium treated like a material and cannot be stolen or lost? If its the former pleeeeeeaaase make signal sources and NPCs carry tritium as a cargo for us to steal. If its the latter please make it the former, tritium would be a great driver for gameplay.
Well it'll give the fuel rats a new mechanic to play with, if they can hold more than one jumps worth of fuel on board.
Are markets / Universal Cartographics on fleet carriers treated as engineers are (i.e. neutral and separate)?
1. How much fuel is required per jump?
2. How much fuel can it carry?
3. Even though it's generally assumed that one player can put multiple ships on a Carrier, the ongoing lack of confirmation of this is getting a bit worrying. Please confirm that a ship-transfer mechanism will be supplied.
4. It has 16 pads. How many ships can it carry? 16?
5. Is Lithium Hydroxide the material that must be mined to make Tritium (if you don't buy it directly)?

Yeah, no reason the FC can't let ships disembark to fuel you up.
Q How can exploration FCs far out generate constant revenue even when the owner is not online? Or are exploration FCs at a disadvantage?
Q Is the weekly update cost dependant on the system the carrier is in? (makes sense that systems with higher player traffic are more valuable, if player driven markets are a thing)
Q How much adds each unlocked service to the upkeep cost?
Q 5 bn is the base cost of a FC. What exacly can be bought to upgrade them and how much do these things cost?

Shocked it hasn’t been mentioned yet, but ..
Will carriers have some iteration of a shipyard, so that CMDRs can store their own ships?

Napalm question:
If fleet carrier based markets accrue passive profits, does this 'offline' activity still count towards ARX?
If fleet carrier based markets accrue passive profits, does this 'offline' activity still count towards ARX?
If they do accrue ARX, which can be bought with real money, do I have to pay taxes on them?
I doubt that since its all one way (i.e. ARX cannot be converted back into money).
Will there be a coffee machine onboard and a tree for my cat to climb and play on?
Q: To help set expectations, what exactly is flexible from beta feedback and what is locked down regardless of feedback.
Thanks for considering.

When will Cmdrs be able to walk about a fleet carrier and what will they be able to do?
Q Tritium is a gas, just three times heavier than the Hydrogen we scoop from stars. Will we mine this gas directly from asteroids, or will we obtain it indirectly by mining, say, Lithium?
Q How did you arrive at the figure of 5 billion credits for the FCs ? Is it a median figure of assets? Or something else?
Q What are those ramps for that we see at the front of the ship?
Q Will docked ships (assuming they are on the pad) be vulnerable to attack by others, or can the FC protect them in some way ?

Q:
Will Carriers have the same game play interaction as Megaships? ie Turrets, Data Terminals, Comms Array, and Cargo Bay
Can Carriers be damaged or put into a reduced capacity state? (not destroyed)
Can Thargoids damage Carriers in the same manner as stations?
Can Thargoids interdict a Carriers in witchspace during travel to another system?
Can Carriers be used in conjunction with Rescue Vessel at damaged stations?
