Ships Hello I am the new one here...I have a few questions on the subject of carriers

[Gunnar von Wippding]

Hello I am the new one here...
I have a few questions on the subject of carriers, which, although not game-decisive, would help me a lot with my logbook / stories.

How big is the regular crew of a carrier?

There are 40 bays on the Carrier, how are unused ships stored...? ?

Are the carriers modular like the other ships?

What about gravitaiton...? Artificial gravity or via mangnet boots (like Expanse)?

When was the launch of the first Carrier and what is the order of types, or are the different designs nationally produced?

And why don't I have a coffee machine in my office? ?

that's it for now. i hope my english is understandable

And why don't I have a coffee machine in my office? ?

You can get one. It's only 150,000,000 CR and then 20,000,000 CR per week for upkeep.

How big is the regular crew of a carrier?

No one really knows, sometimes I notice some suspicious personalities in the hallway, maybe it's a random guest.

There are 40 bays on the Carrier, how are unused ships stored...? ?

Each in his own compartment.

Are the carriers modular like the other ships?

No. I didn't know that the rest of the ships in the game are modular, so I sometimes want to move the engine from one ship to another.

What about gravitaiton...? Artificial gravity or via mangnet boots (like Expanse)?

I think it's the boots, but I've never been able to take them off to check.

When was the launch of the first Carrier and what is the order of types, or are the different designs nationally produced?

After the appropriate patch.

Fleet Carriers Update

The Fleet Carriers Update (3.7),[1][2], is a standalone content update for Elite Dangerous that released on 9 June 2020.[3] It added the Drake-Class Carrier; a mobile base with 16 landing pads and various services for pilots in deep space. The capital ship can be owned, customized, and managed...

Their appearance is only cosmetic, it has no effect on anything else.
And in my opinion, the initial view is more convenient for me than others, and I do not think that it is necessary to spend arxs to change the view for the worse.
(I have about 35000 arxs now)

And why don't I have a coffee machine in my office? ?

If the office is what's upstairs, I never really thought about it. Usually I announce over the phone to get me a coffee, the team is still jostling for hours in the halls and discussing rumors, so they obviously have nothing to do.

that's it for now. i hope my english is understandable

I think mine is too.

I know the Carrier calculater, I'm more interested in the background.
How many crews do I need ? The carrier HMS Prince of Wales has a crew of 1400 men.
With modern modules and automation it could be reduced to 500 (pilots, maintenance crew, bridge, service etc. etc.).
Since the carrier consists of 80 % hangars, stores and propulsion, I think this is resalistic.
In addition, you could station 2-3 companies on it as an extra.
Could that be the case? or am I making a mistake?

good morning and ö7
