Fleet Carriers Express Lift

Northpin · Mar 16, 2022

Is it possible to get multiple destinations for Carrier Lifts as presented in the December Stream?
I really miss the extra options

I mean Like this (at least an extra destination for Carrier Bridge)

Instead of this:

I mean, they would have to make these areas first...

The bridge actually exists and it has it's own Express lift.
it's called Command Deck instead of Bridge

Edit:
Carrier Bow also exists - it's the part below the bridge - the Vista hall with its many seats

Taking the Lift from the Bridge to one level below:

So, it's only a matter to add the destinations to the Express Lifts

Carrier bow is where Raxxla is.

I support that though. Kind of weird they removed the option ? Might have led to issues.

I was initially a little disappointed that there weren't two options on the lift but quickly realised it doesn't matter.

If I'm in a hurry to get to the bridge it's only to sit down for a jump and the game just teleports me there anyway if I'm running late.

Yea, but from the bridge to hangar... it's quite a jog

Then we have to jog the hangar itself... at least they placed the entrance on the side so we dont have to run the full length of the hangar, for which i'm really grateful

You can still sit in your ship for the jump though.
If you're in a hurry.

The only reason to visit the bridge (in a hurry) is to sit down for a jump, and if you're coming from the hanger you could just sit in the ship anyway.

I am a little disappointed that I can't sit in the bar & get a different view of the jump sequence though.

Well, it's nothing gamebreaking.

Just a QoL feature i already miss. (I do wonder why it didnt make it in the release?)

Technically the "bow" should be the big sphere at the front of the Nautilus, the hammerhead on the Victory etc.

I suppose we'll get access to those when we also get to walk in the parkland strips in the spinning rings of tourist stations...

Well, in this context, the Bow is the front part of the Command Pod/Nacelle that oversees the flight decks (well, not on Nautilus

) and which is full of observation windows
And the Stern is the back part of the same Pod/Nacelle - the part where we arrive when we take the lift from the Hangar

Ahh okay. I definitely support an extra option for the command deck as a destination, so I don't have to run there.

That was probably one of the things they had to change during that last week. It would indeed be nice to just take the lift from the hanger straight to the command deck, I hate mixing in with all the NPC plebs, and it looks untidy with them all sleeping sprawled across the seats.
