They move from system to system. Can you move a Planet or a Station to a different System ??? NOoo..How do they move?
AFAIK the game treats carriers as stationary, but temporary assets. That is, they can be added to a system, orbiting a body, willy-nilly by players and then removed again from that system to be added in another system. But they are not able to move like ships are. They do not supercruise. They do not even move out of supercruise.
Someone who knows, please educate me.
