Really FCs need a clear reason to exist- a defined role. So far I can't see one thats truly transformational.
Seems like frontier actually doesn't want everyone to have a carrier.. for technical reasons?

Transformational?
You want an SDF-1 or a Fleet Carrier?
Now that would be something. And have two in PvP just punching each other silly.
Imagine how many pack hounds you can fit on 25.000 tons

I expect that figure is the inverse of the frame rate. But that would be amazing to see.
Once. And then your rig melts.
Just to spoon in another franchise, Death Blossom FC mode?
The ultimate log- destroys your PC, and all ships in 10 Ly.
I love that movie. Wasn't there a remake planned?Just to spoon in another franchise, Death Blossom FC mode?

Best conversation ever.

Look at the bright side. Soon there will be bots and trainer options to automate all this nonsense. And the past already showed us frontier is really reactive when it comes to exploits and cheats. It's a virtuous circle, really.
I think there was talk, but beyond that I don't know. Would be epic though.
And that dialogue needs to be in ED somewhere.
Just looking at a thread about surface bases and it occurs to me...
If the ED engine is going to be pushed to near it's limits with the advent of persistent FCs, creating a need for punitive deterrents to regulate the number of FCs in-game, that's not a good omen for future expansions.
I mean, if the ED servers are going to be "running hot" as a result of adding FCs, that doesn't leave a lot of wiggle-room for a few thousand surface bases, or for stations with interiors you can walk around, or planets that have weather systems, flora and fauna or gas giants with enormous, thick, atmospheres etc.

Like being gifted a Lamborghini.
Except when you touch it you get instantly electrocuted. Not enough to kill you of course. But just enough to where you can never actually drive it.
Have you seen the state of the system map in Diso? It's insanity.

Hey @CMDR Karrde Sun,
Sorry if there's been any misunderstanding here! The cost of the Fleet Carriers in the beta is to reflect the actual cost of a Fleet Carriers when they go into the live game in June. There is currently no technical issue known with everyone owning one, and in this beta we were trying to focus on reviewing the affect that Fleet Carriers will have when they enter the live game. Naturally, since they are an end game goal, not everyone would potentially get one at launch but certainly over time we hope that many Commanders get the chance to own their very own Fleet Carrier!
Blimey!
If it's not a means of mitigating a technical issue, that only leaves one other possibility.
Not entirely sure that's something people are going to be especially happy to hear.
Yep, my only rationalization for all things that make no sense to me with FCs just vanished.
