Tritium that was stolen, cannot be donated into a fleet carrier.

[CMDR Nathan Atterlein]

Pirates' moral code prevents them from putting the blood covered isotope into their piracy fleet carrier's fuel depot. Completely absurd. If I can set my carrier's role to PIRACY, and buy bad boy markets in it, trading stolen sht left and right, I can't bring myself to refuel my hunk of spacegarbage, built up from illegally obtained diamonds, with stolen fuel? Am I supposed to dust off my un-hot ASP and go crazy in the tritium fields too? Like a good boy? No thanks.

I'd appreciate, if we could get some confirmations on this. Piracy deserves some recognition, being one of the most complex gameplay styles in Elite (even though i'm garbage at it). Shoutout to Screenmonster for shedding light on this .

as a weekend pirate, I agree. Arrr

 

[Strangepork]

...if you drop it for someone else it becomes legal salvage

Why we can't enjoy stealing full

Meh, go buy some. It's not even worth stealing.

I'm by no way a pirate, but we should totally be able to use stolen fuel! This isn't an Elder Scrolls game last time I checked.

 

[MishaTX]

Another non-pirate who has to agree with you here. The Carrier's engines don't give a hoot whether the fuel it's guzzling is hot or not, and it's the only place it's going to go. If you were trying to sell it, on the other hand, but you're not.

Piracy is why we do it, because it's fun and requires a lot of input/attention. If we want it quick, we'll bulk buy it. But when we have it, we can keep piling it up as people are having fun relieving weight off the miners.

You can also launder goods in eso if you want to use (And not have confiscated) stolen things. Hmmm.

 

[CMDR Nathan Atterlein]

One thing that probably influenced fdev, to make stolen tritium not donatable, was that hauling missions might make you deliver tritium from a to b. (haven't tested yet). I just wanna smother that argument before it's even born:

Do not make tritium hauling missions, then, and allow us to donate stolen variants of it. Haulers should not give a damn about what they're hauling. So why bother with tritium, if it opens the game up for an exploit (abandon mission and deliver tritium to carrier instead)?

 

[Just Paul]

It gets even worst. You can't just store mission cargo on your carrier. You need to sell it to the black market or abandon the mission before. If you sell it to the black market and let the mission expire or abandoned it the liberated goods suddenly have mission and stolen tags. Now you can't transfer or sell it anymore at all. If I have a piracy carrier with the fenced market I should be able to do what I want with the stuff I find and that includes putting Tritium into the fuel tank.

I guess feeding our npc families come second to adhering to commodity tags, and their use limits.

 

[Bob McBobblehead]

Elite Dangerous version of pink diesel, you never know when the space cops will pull you over and check you fuel tank.

 

[soloe]

This really is absurd and has to be an oversight (I hope) piracz is possibly the least efficient method to acquire Tritium, so I can't see any gameplay justification for this apart from possible mission-cargo theft and I haven't seen any Tritium hauling missions yet. If this is the reason, do as @CMDR Nathan Atterlein suggested and scrap those. We can Haul other mission cargo.

What if I wanted to acquire it using the gameplay loop I enjoy the most?

 

[Vin Delanos]

Doesn't suprise me.

 

[ErichZann]

Fleet Carriers are really a half baked concept right now, if even that. These are just some examples, add the shipyard and outfitting function.

kind of sad after all the delays.

 

[Valorin]

Their should be certain raider SCs that can only be moved with bloody fuel.

Or a space Khajiit (Kilrathi?!?) as a service on the carrier...

 

[askavir]

Agreed, the fuel tank has no morals, and it shouldn't care about how the fuel was acquired. Also it should completely be possible to operate a 100% pirate carrier.

 

[zipline]

Agree OP, what a total nonsense, upvoted.

 

[Screemonster]

If nothing else, tritium isn't really worth keeping around as a black market commodity, and with the price cut you take for selling to a black market it's worth more to me as go-juice than it is for selling.
What possible reason could there be not to launder that stuff directly through the main engines?
