Fleet Carriers

[OJB09.]

Please allow me to disembark on my base of operations with my squadron, with a bridge or a view lounge. also can you make more liverys? want to feel like im on a star destroyer not a pencil case. and for the jump timer, can in those 15 minutes you make the fleet carrier slowly point towards where its jumping? its the small things that make the game great.

Hi, I heard that they are going to add something like this. Now they're focused on making Odyssey stable, optimized and playable.

Additions to the fleet carriers are much needed

I strongly support extra FC functionality, most notably the addition of Vista Genomics. Imagine experiencing a jump while walking inside it

Yeah, that's really something that's put me off. There's currently no way to turn in Biological data outside of inhabited space.

But I guess to do that, you have to be on foot...and since carriers don't have social spaces...hmmm.

 

[Timjfjdd]

yeah, currently out exploring near the CG, brought my carrier. but cant turn it in. Also no social space so i cant hang out with my friends on my carrier after some exploring

I'd love to see a social space in a carrier. Not all services need to be there but that could be an option based on the current operation the carrier is doing. Best thing would actually be to hang out in a social space there and maybe be able to enjoy the views

Can Fleet Carriers pass through permit locked systems while jumping?

Yes.

They need to sort out trituim in Colonia , and mining it . They screwed up the mining side when the fiddled with the drops of painite nerf ( rather than fixing the price ) . We need to be able to multi jump the carrier ( we have a captain ) ( you say I need it to go to Colonia the captain says righty o boss . It will take 3 days and use X amount of trituim , I will need to refuel from commodities is that ok ? ) .
Hey presto the time can be more or the same as it would take . This would stop commanders having to be on every 20 mins to initiate another jump and they wouldn't have to be on board to "transfer" the fuel .( Who ever thought that up needs a severe talking to ) .

Yes.

Thanks

Once you realize that gameplay loops are designed not with player interest in mind but with player engagement, these decisions make sense. If you could "easy mode" your carrier to Colonia, that would be twenty hours of "player engagement" gone missing that FDev couldn't use to drive hype, marketing, and share prices.

+1 for all of that.

If nothing else, if I team up with other people and we all want to go on one ship, I'd like it if we could board each others' ships at the carrier instead of having to all fly to a station to do it. Even if it doesn't have a full bar and pioneer supplies and whatnot.

Can anyone tell me how to move your Fleet Carrier from one place to the other in the system map. It says you can do it but I cannot figure it out. Thanks in advance.

Go to Carrier Admin services, look for the plot or Nav icon, click on it, then plot your route like you would normally do, click on system then on the system map, and select the planetary body as the destination, 15 min later or so it should be there, you can actually get to watch the animation when your FC comes out of the jump, looks/sounds pretty cool (the "signal" for the new destination should show up in the system a few minutes before it actually arrives, so just head there and wait)
