It wasn't ready then, it isn't ready now, welcome to the next level of broken, too many exploits still remain, like the game breaking feature of carrier loitering, it is going to make things impossible, not interesting.
Fleet Carriers Update - Beta 2 has now ended!
- Thread starter Stephen Benedetti
- Start date
Didn't do the Beta's, please explain Carrier Loitering? I have read most of these FC forum threads but never heard that exploit.
There is a cap on carriers per system. If everyone goes to FC buy systems on release and buys a FC and they never leave, the people who purchase after them will get distributed to surrounding systems, none of which have carrier management
Except of course that they do - apart from in Colonia. But many don't seem to have realised - which is part of the reason why the vendor systems fill up.
So you can't afford to buy one in the first place? Problem solved
Just call the fuel rats
Do you say that about every ship that you don't own? Oh and the game auto-updates... shifty
That is kinda like saying "do you have any idea how long it would take to fuel scoop all the fuel required to jump to BP?". It would take ages, but you don't do that - you scoop a little at each star. I imagine that is how explorers with FC will do it, as mining 23k in one go would indeed be a lot of mining. We will see
That's not speculation, it's paranoia LOL. And it's rather outrageous that all your griping about FCs is based on one jump, zero Rocket Tea mining, and an apparent predisposition toward complaint. Stick with your ships, no need to keep posting here.
They're not going to just give away a billion credits of fuel from the kindness of their hearts are they?
If there is only one system that does Carrier management, can you do that just by having your FC in that system, parked near the Station? Or do you need to take a normal ship to the station and dock to upgrade the FC management stuff?
Because........................ if it's the latter, great game play would be a FC war of the haves vs have nots, griefers and anti FCers, and..............the Galaxy poor, could constantly blockade the only bubble station that alows FC management.
How cool, you can buy a FC, but you have to run a gauntlet of 100's of angry peasents suiciding blocking the entrance to the station and trying to murder you as a FC owner before you can dock. could go on for several weeks if they can maintain a physical co-ordinated blockade 24/7.
It was 500-ish LY from Colonia; some random system towards the bubble, so yes, in other systems.
Any number of posts -- if they further discussion intelligently instead of being just griping about the same thing over and over again -- is just peachy. Yours don't. Nothing personal, just an observation.Sorry, didn't realize how personally you take any criticizing or even a simple statement of disliking of the FCs. And just in case, at some point I will probably use one - but most likely not sooner than 3 or 4 month after release, when the real Beta moves on.
The time to gather the Tritium doesn't change if you do it in dribs and drabs,so those hours will need to be invested.That is kinda like saying "do you have any idea how long it would take to fuel scoop all the fuel required to jump to BP?". It would take ages, but you don't do that - you scoop a little at each star. I imagine that is how explorers with FC will do it, as mining 23k in one go would indeed be a lot of mining. We will see
During the beta i used 2/3's of the carriers capicity,so i'm seeing a burn rate/refuel issue here
I've done a rough calculation based on data from the beta and to replace the fuel i burned i would need to mine at a constant rate of 250T/hr for 66 hrs straight.
In a sense it seems logical.The game doesn’t auto update unless you try to play it.
That's because you are trying to treat a carrier like a ship, like a jumpaCondaMkXX, but that is not what a carrier is. Why try to make a ~40,000ly trip with zero stops for fuel replenishment? Just because it can be done doesn't mean it's a smart thing to do.
