Guests at FC

How can you see (for example, in a single game) that someone is on FC ?
To avoid jumping into another system while another player goes to the store.

Anyway, you can see who was at FC somewhere and what was doing?
 
No, you can't see who is/was docked at your carrier and what he/she is doing.

I think, I've read somewhere that you can see what ships (or was it commanders?) are docked at your carrier when going into the decomission screen.
But I didn't test that myself.

You can see if someone is currently docked with a workaround :

It's indeed hidden in the Carrier Decommission Function. The Decommission Page will tell you if other Player Ships are on your Carrier.
(you can safely click it as an owner, since it'll require further confirmation before doing anything and additionally could be canceled if done by accident)

But obviously, a dedicated Info Page with Traffic Stats and outright telling you how many Players, Ships etc. are docked is a must-have requirement.
Hopefully, we'll see it in another Patch.

Absolutely this ! And maybe some kind of "ticket" system so one can set up a fee for a taxi / ferry service. Maybe like an option for a "restricted paid access" to the carrier.
That would be handy for a proper transport service to e.g. Colonia so the carrier owner doesn't have to pay on top and loses credits for offering such a service and doesn't have to rely solely on honourable passengers and their donations of Tritium.

Apparently this is only true if there are ships stored on your carrier, not docked ships.
 
The Comm Board shows recent multi-player contacts. This would at least show if your friend is in range, though it won't say if they're on the FC. If your friend hasn't dropped into the bay for outfitting or shipyard, they should still be on the pad, visible through the camera, assuming that you're docked on the FC as well. Also, like with stations, can you use your ship to scan other ships on the deck or in the bays?

Of course, none of this is my preferred method. During the beta, I requested tools to see who is on the carrier, as well as fixed position cameras that show the flight deck and surrounding areas.

Hm... good point, it does read "Stored Ships" indeed.
If there was no CMDR in the instance, I assumed reading something there would typically mean someone onboard but logged off.
But it's true, it could merely be a stored Ship with noone onboard.

The problem with that, I think, is that your carrier is persistent across all modes, platforms and every instances therein. That's a hell of a lot of places in which another player might be on your carrier.
 
The decommission button does not show the stored ships of my alt, which I can confirm has stored ships.
So, we can safely say that the decommissioning button appears to only show you own stored ships. Good to know.

I'm still hoping for more data later!

No argument. As I said, my method is a poor stopgap. My preferred method would be in-game tools that show player activity on my FC.
