The Deep Space Support Array (DSSA) | A FleetComm Initiative

Or perhaps everyone could stop using pop culture references and thinking its particularly clever. My beta carrier name, for example, was "FDevs Greatest Joke".
::reconsiders plans to name the Carriers on his main & alt accounts the SCCV Tweedledum and SCCV Tweedledee::
 
Just to echo Q's sentiments here, as far as the GMP goes, we will only be marking one Carrier on the maps as a POI at Beagle and the outer galactic rim (which includes Salome's Reach), and that will be the Distant Worlds "Endeavour" Carrier (which was the original plan on DW2, prior to FDev delaying Carrier content). Having the map cluttered with many Carriers in close proximity to one another makes no sense and is counter productive for what the DSSA is meant to be.
Of course you are right.
Lets see if we'll be able to find the DSSA carrier between all the other carrier icons in BPs map ;)
 
There are currently 10 Regions with 2 carriers proposed; 2 regions with 3; and Odin's Hold currently has five.

If you are desiring to be a part of the DSSA Carrier network and have not yet joined - or are in a busy area - please consider deploying to one of the less-crowded regions. As of 22/04/2020, those regions with only one proposed carrier are:

Norma Arm
Izanami
Inner Orion-Perseus Conflux
Norma Expanse
Newton's Vault
Outer Orion-Perseus Conflux
Temple
Dryman's Point
Mare Somnia
Acheron
Hieronymus Delta
Outer Scutum-Centaurus Arm
Outer Arm
Aquila's Halo
Errant Marches
Perseus Arm
Formidine Rift
Vulcan Gate
Outer Orion Spur
Achilles's Altar
Lyra's Song
Tenebrae
Kepler's Crest
The Void

Best if people check the list in the OP - when I checked (before this list was posted) The Void had more than 2 and Lyra's Song has 2 (though one is admittedly short of details :) ).

Yep, its going to be a little crowded with Carriers there, and Sag-A* too I guess. Iconic locations will be magnets for Carriers to set up shop.

I think getting the Distant Worlds Carrier there will be the sentimental end of the DW2 chapter so to speak, as its what we intended the final DW2 mission goal to be. So now's the chance to finish it off and have something out there that recognizes the hard work the community did in the past by making Beagle Point the focus of so many events and adventures. :)
 
No. Please do not choose Xibalba as destination if you wish to a registered DSSA carrier.
My sqaudron (Rocky Ice Syndicate) is already in Kepler's Creast scouting FC location and routes there and back again. But there are two initiatives for Kepler's too as of a day or two. I thought your list intended to point out sectors that was intended for just one carrier within the DSSA initiative.
 
Little update on the carriers/region topic. My sorting formula was wrong, it's actually worse than I thought.

Regions currently at max capacity:

10 Norma Expanse
11 Trojan Belt
19 Hawking's Gap
32 Vulcan Gate
42 The Void

Regions with too many carriers. I'll be moving some signups on the reserve list.

4 Odin's Hold — 5 carriers
31 Formidine Rift — 4 carriers
40 The Abyss — 6 carriers
43 Cancri Cluster — 4 carriers
 
I volunteer (with carrier) on behalf of Artemis Corporation.
CMDR Artemis Corporation
PC
35 Outer Orion Spur

We we're actually planning on taking a carrier out to Eta Carina during beta 2 so will find a suitable destination system then.

Can you check your submission form?
I was intending to base my Carrier at the top of the Formorian Frontier, just below the Abyss.
When I went into the submission form to update it, there was a new drop down for commanders to select the region that they were heading towards. I couldn't see Formorian Frontier on that drop down so chose the Abyss instead. I guess I am one fo the 6 but wont actually get to the Abyss when I depart from Colonia.

Can you confirm that all regions are available to be selected?

As it says now on the form, absent regions are unavailable. The Formorian Frontier is reserved for a future thingamajig.
 
This is a great idea. I don't think I'll be getting a carrier but I'd love to support the DSSA in any way I can, through mining or refuelling.

There will definitely be some big mining and prospecting projects announced in this forum close to the Carrier launch events in June. Stay tuned for those! (y)
 
This week I was able to find a good location for my carrier. The Prai Hypoo nebula has a variety of lifeforms scattered around it, and this nice little moon sits just outside the edge of the nebula, allowing for some nice sky views. On the surface there are gas vents, brain trees, and bark mounds. This unassuming little moon sits about 1100 ls in from the entry point and is easy to get to.

Not tempted by one of the guardian sites? They can be quite scenic and often have the trees on the system as well :)

[...]
32 Vulcan Gate
Hm, I was a bit surprised about this. Didn't think it would be that popular, and the other two sign-ups don't seem to have communicated neither here nor on Discord, so I don't know why they picked the region as well. Well, in any case, it's not like there isn't enough space for three carriers there, plus they seem set to launch later.

Quite a lot of carriers on the list now though. Their numbers exploded after Frontier announced there will be UC, no?
