te inside of a Krait
I do hope that the ships aren't so expensive that the PVP players can just buy them on launch day and the purist PVE players will have to use a credit exploit to get one.

Oh that's just a Krait Phantom. IAW OA we won't fly them. They will be parked in the system like the standard megaship.
Thing is this was supposed to be released 8 months ago but we only really got the mining overhaul, they will have had a full year since then to flesh this feature out entirely, because honestly all other content this year has been quite lacking (no new ships, no updates to stations/terrain/environments) and I would've expected this one thing to be pretty massive after an entire year of delay.
We'll see what added features they'll think of, it seems like they are not ready to share these. And it makes it look like they are only just now starting to work out what to actually use these ships for.

I wonder how much of a dent it is going to put into my 17billion?

Well that completely breaks my immersion. My calculations are based on the difference between an Imperial Eagle and an Imperial Cutter, and I'll be able to dock way more Cutters on a fleet carrier than I can dock Eagles on a Cutter! Not to mention all the other perks like insane jump range, resupply, etc.
If carriers are that cheap, then I hope the griefers send you all to the rebuy screen
That's probably because the majority of the team isn't working on the current content.

It'd make quite the overdraft....

I would think the cost has to be balanced against the combat abilities. Unless there are other factors in play. Like ability to jump away farther than other ships. Like jump a thousand LY in one jump or something.
I wonder if the fuel will be the same fuel the normal megaships use in the military. Does that mean we will be able to farm the planets they dumped it all one and maybe recycle their old fuel or something.
That or maybe someone rediscovered or improved the old missing fuel types.

Just like EBL....... like the megaships, also the FC are invincible
That's no problem as long as we are responsible for the repairs.... like the megaships, also the FC are invincible
500ly according to FDEV.
500 LY, according to the news post
ANNOUNCEMENT - Gamescom Reveals - Fleet Carrier Details
Hello everyone, In a similar fashion to our Lavecon 2019 reveals, we wanted to give all of you who couldn't join us at our Gamescom Frontier Community Meet a rundown of all the details that just dropped... or should we say hauled in here by the aid of... a Fleet Carrier! December Update - The...
I think you get actually two separate vessels, the carrier and the "support vessel" for the specific task, you have chosen.
No.
It seems there are "support ships" which jump with them .... and, according to OAnt, we will not have access to the main bridge. They just jump 500 ly at a time (with sufficient materials and credits, presumably).
O Ant appears to have all the information to hand in his video ... so here's the link ....
