How about some respect!?

[VR CMDR Novindus]

Lack of a bridge and the insulting narrative overlay of it "not being your carrier", are two reasons I wouldn't buy it even if I had the will to grind the necessary credits.
It is your carrier, whatever the lore-excuse for the limitations says. You paid for it. You pay the staff. You organise or mine its fuel. You decide what services it offers and who can dock. You decide where it goes. You decide if it gets decommissioned. You own it.

So,

Carriers should have a bridge that can be customised superficially.
Carrier communications to the owner should specifically acknowledge their status.
The carrier owner should never be shot at by the carrier under any circumstances.
The carrier should be able to engage yaw, roll, and pitch for positioning without leaving its designated point. If you have a bridge, then you should be able to choose the view.
Some time post-EDO release, the fleet carrier should have at least a social gathering area inside in addition to the bridge, if not have a completely explorable interior, including the captain's cabin of course.

Most of this is for RP, which I think is vital in ED.

Commander, you don't have your outbreak mask on. I'm sorry but we'll have to refuse service until you put your mask on!

The same for being Admiral/King. They show no respect to my honorable person.
It they will greet carrier owners in a special way - imperial stations must greet me as 'welcome your royal majesty MKZU'

Is it cold where you are, you seem to be suffering a bit of shrinkage.

I was saying it from far away.

 

[AngryAntz]

I was saying it from far away.

If you say so

 

[[PS4] Lorenzo Waringos]

If you say so

You seem to be making a big deal out of this, little ant.

 

[Viscera]

You spent the credits.

Now spend the ARX.

(get thee a covas for the carrier)

(Blaine should suit you a treat )

 

[Vandaahl]

How about some respect!?​

Its even worse. One of the welcome phrases is "Please respect our carrier."

 

[cyberus]

Carrier is a scam

 

[Rat Catcher]

Carrier is a scamp

More accurate... at least for mine

 

[[PS4] Lorenzo Waringos]

Carrier is a scam

The day I finally made the 5BnCr asking fee, I purchased one. I'm not sure I even left myself enough for rebuy in my trading Python.

Today, I have just under 3bnCr and it accumulates at an astonishing rate.

How is it a scam?

Well, I finally purchased a carrier. It was that has have a bunch of credits sitting there gathering dust. The experience wasn't as mundane as I expected and it was kinda nice to own a heap of pixels.

Here's the thing though, I fly back to MY carrier and ask for docking permission. The crew treated me like a total stranger with a muted "welcome back Commander"! Is it too much to ask for some god-XXXm respect? Heads are going to roll if I ever find my way on the the bridge - stuck in the hanger for some reason ATM

Don’t own one, probably never will, however yeah it should be more personal when the owner arrives to the carrier.

 

[lysan]

If I understood OP correctly he wants the docking computer to play Aretha Franklin when he approaches his FC.

More like I WILL SURVIVE Gloria Estefan....

That you can view from the owners lounge.

Carrier communications to the owner should specifically acknowledge their status.

Remember just because you are the boss doesn’t make you respected.

The carrier owner should never be shot at by the carrier under any circumstances.

They aren’t now, carriers are unarmed, Security is provided by the authority who control the space the carrier is parked in if you don’t want to be shot don’t upset them.

The carrier should be able to engage yaw, roll, and pitch for positioning without leaving its designated point. If you have a bridge, then you should be able to choose the view.

Yes except for the fact you don’t get a bridge you just own the thing you aren’t the qualified driver.

Some time post-EDO release, the fleet carrier should have at least a social gathering area inside in addition to the bridge, if not have a completely explorable interior, including the captain's cabin of course.

Most of this is for RP, which I think is vital in ED.

With the exception of the bridge which should just be for qualified crew accessible interior spaces including the owners suite would be nice.

I used my first FC to raise the 6 billion for one on this account, but only had 6 days to do it before heading off to Colonia...
Second one now has more credits than the original...

Of course they are a scam... Or in my case, used by a scammer...

 

[Rat Catcher]

They aren’t now, carriers are unarmed...

Tell that to the pirate mine 'took care of' yesterday

Would be kind of fun if they did, also more realistic.

Nah, I can only get them to play that by shooting my carrier.
