you missed my point. I'm not talking about the beta. When FC are live on the production servers, there is no reason for non-owners to use them. Why would I ever go to someone else's FC if everything there costs more because of tarrifs, there's no faction rewards for activity, no missions to take, etc.

I really missed the point 🤦‍♂️

But I'd say there are reasons to use a carrier not belonging to you, if you use it as a squadron asset.
As single player, apart from handing in stuff at UC out in the black? Not much...

What about using an FC in a system in War state but no stations with Large landing pads to RRR Vettes/Condas/etc?

You're right, it's a bit ambigous - I guess ships will be transferred too, but it's just a guess.

Decommissioned Fleet Carrier

  • Any Commanders who have stored modules on the Fleet Carrier will be notified when the Fleet Carrier is Decommissioned.
    • Commanders can still transfer their modules and ships elsewhere during this period.
    • If the modules are not transferred, then they will be moved the nearest starport with the Carrier Construction service, and will require a standard charge for transferring those modules to a new location.

I think (speculation of course) both modules and ships will be moved to the nearest starport with the Carrier Construction service.

Okay. So please explain this. If we get a 100% refund minus debt... Wouldn't this mean that the player can just purchase a new carrier immediately after logging after leaving the game for a year?

If so then in my book, now is the point Carriers are pointless.

RIP ED endgame.

Great, but I would like to know more about beta xbox. Can I still play with my friends who don't beta? At the end of the beta what happens? I recover my money and I lose fleet C?

Thank you

Looks good, thanks FDev. Hopefully this will become more of a carrot for players to aim for than a stick to beat those that can afford one & have a use for it.

I will be using the DSSA carriers. I've already set off into deep space to pick up exploring a region I originally discovered back on PS4. While I'd love to have my own FC for exploration, I just can't afford one (I made it to 1 billion credits before the grind turned me into a zombie duck). I'm hoping one of the DSSA carriers will appear within 500-1000 LY of my little "bubble", in which case I'll make good use of it and perhaps even invest in its upkeep.

I agree, but that has always been the point.
Who cares about other people carrier when everyone wants to own one?
In this respect it makes more sense to assign current space stations management to very active squadrons.

I play so sporadically that any upkeep cost is a major disincentive. I would far prefer a non-cost idle time-out. If I haven't logged on for a month then the FC is removed from the galaxy until I log in again. Feel free to move it up to a hundred light years if there is no space to reinsert it.

Beta is a test, that is self contained and is deleted at the end.

It does not count for your 'real' game- anything you do in beta stays in beta.

Only people in beta can play with other beta players.
