Fleet Carriers Update - Downtime

[Factabulous]

What September update. Have they announced anything about more updates?

Nah - just assuming (I know, I know). Normally Ed has updates around December, April and September - so I'd expect a bugfix release in September.

They wouldn't normally announce the next release until this one is out of the way. And no, I won't be throwing the toys out of the pram if it doesn't happen

Thanks a lot for the update Stephen, good luck to the team for tomorrow.

Is there a "Buy the devs a beer" mechanism by which I can share my appreciation to your system administrators?

We used to buy the team loads of Pizzas many years ago. It's been a while since that happened though.
It seems that the Vine Adam made of a Pizza slice docking into a Pizza Box Coriolis has disappeared

Today is the last chance to get those billions from LTDs!

I swore I would not succumb to the siren call of the Borann Triple LTD hotspot...
But I failed miserably.

I will miss the Borann system chat. It was something... special... at times.

 

[Orby one]

By now I'm on a first name basis with every hunk of ice in Borann A2 B ring.

Good luck, dev team! Here's hoping for a smooth deployment! We're rooting for ya!

 

[dm06]

that was unexpected.
and "yay!"

 

[ChipStar65]

False.

New triple hotspots (and even a quad) were already located in the Beta.

The live FCs Universe will not be the beta Universe, however, so any locations found in beta will be unlikely to persist. More overlapping hotspots will no doubt be found, though.

Well, I generally don’t play on patch day so I will just sit back and see how this goes.
But after 2 betas I am hoping for a smooth update with minimum bugs.
Thanks FDev for your hard work.

 

[Seffron]

I'm too excited, it is finally happening. Could you maybe share some patch notes, would love to read them.

Hey @C'tri,

We are starting early, but not that early! 07:30AM UTC is 08:30AM BST for us in Britian!

Thanks!

Still not too late for beer.

Did my last morning shift this morning, sold 198t for 250m. Stopped at 8.8b now, been mining hard the last few weeks. Only had 1b credits at the beginning of May. Been like a second job, 2 shifts a day 7 days a week. Also spent 150m Creds on an A rated T9 with 756 T cargo space, i have named "Fleet Carrier Transport".

Whole fleet and all modules moved to a buying station on the weekend.

Can someone who knows loads about ED answer this, Do the large pad spacestations have a "max" limit for ships "stored" ? I know they only have 40 pads, but once you go into the hanger for "storage" is there a "ship limit" shared amongst all players there?

Or can 10,000 player all put there ships in "solo" and dock and transport their fleets to Diso - Shifnalport betwwen now and 7.30am tomorrow morning.

No need to worry about numbers, it doesn't include other Cmdr's ships. Although, just as in Beta, it may take you a while to find your Carrier once you've bought it. FDev really should have arranged for valet car parking services bringing the FC right to us

Awaiting the first report and video of a carrier trying to enter a station slot. It will happen, you know it will happen. As humans we just won't be able to resist the urge.

You can't personally fly the carriers tho.

That's 06:30AM start local time, and I assume prepwork taking place earlier!

If not, be sure to pass our collective appreciation and condolonces for the hours of lost sleep!

We usually just order them pizza from Dominos
