The FC bartender is completely useless.
Why didn't they just make it work the same as station bartenders?

Update 11: let the complaints begin....
- Thread starter William J Smith
- Start date
I'm not sure I'll be spending any more money on this game at this point. FDev just can't even put in basic expected features that almost certainly were thought of by the devs. Why it never made it into development is a matter for debate.

You mean the ones that won't serve you drinks?
Neither serves drinks, but at least you can trade stuff at the station ones.
The use case for FC bartenders is.... well, practically nonexistent.
Serving drinks is not that useful anyway. Its like in GTA online, you might order a drink once, go hey, that's neat, then never do it again.
It seems when you're on the deck you can't hear them, but when you're off the command deck passing by you can occasionally hear them, I spent about 2 hours in my carrier in different parts listening to them, their lines are limited or their position of the vocals is off one of the two.
Uh bro you've never heard of TIDI I'm assuming from EvE have you?
Bringing up EvE's example of Tidi, it's used so that it doesn't overwhelm the server, in EvE we have battles with thousands of players I was involved in one of the biggest battles in EvE with over 10,000 players we had to deal with our commands being slowed down because there were so many players on the server at once in the system at once that they had to MOVE THE JITA SERVER to support us and the Jita server is a major backbone for the largest trading system in the game. I used to run billions through Jita and GOONS would do burn Jita and we'd have TIDI or no entry due to the Goons doing goon things.
So your answer it already happens in other MMO's.
Def something that could be brought up in the suggestions part of the forums.
I can see how you would want that, but I don't think that's going to change totally, as useful as it would be (And I can see the use) Fdev wants player input to direct them instead of automation from the way they've spoke about them in the past. I think that was asked on a stream a while ago.
They aren't in the Elite universe so drawing stuff from them is useless in this universe when it comes to the way physics are here vs there
That's not elite again
Again you can argue with Fdev on this man, but again you're bringing stuff from other universes into elite, which won't be applicable here.
Transfer stock from your ship to your carrier in the Ody assets and you can set the bar tender up, the way they limited it to 100 overall is a bit small imo.
my issue is that they say they wont develop vr for on foot, but when the carrier jumps and your in vr it literally switches to proper vr head look during the jump sequence, and then switches back to the flat panel. come on frontier just copy pasta
As a new carrier owner, this has to be one of the biggest and most obvious short-comings. If we were allowed to set the size of the tritium depot, or have the crew refuel from storage, we could move a carrier across the galaxy (or more usefully, Sol to Colona) without needing to be on board it the whole time. The current arrangement (storage to ship to depot) seems absurd.
The bar does have a nice big window, which is probably the only reason I'd want it.

Maybe, but I'd fly all the way to Jaques to do it. The bum owes me a drink, and I intend to collect.
Not that credits are a big deal these days but costs and mass seem a bit out of line with the services provided. eg: The entire maintenance & repair infrastructure for servicing giant starships weighs 20 tons less than a Pioneer store. Said little store on the concourse also costs as much as a shipyard or outfitting infrastructure.
Or you can close down the bar with its one bartender but it hardly saves any of the expense, still costing 1.25M/wk.
Speaking of the bar, the arbitrary sale value of odyssey materials is so low that a 1000% range doesn't even begin to cut it for players. They should have either let players set uncapped prices, or run it on a barter system like the original bars do.
Both captain's chairs on the flight deck and in the ready room need to make use of those panels for carrier management while seated.

So, it would kind of validate that statement then.
- I can not board my own ship when in a team on a FC. Reason: team options -> do not allow team members to board. So leaving the team or changing the setting allows me to board my own ship again...
- if you install the EDO services on the FC, it can happen that all new services get the same crew member (same name, just different outfits)
- the circle-wheel -> FC button brings me to the carrier menu of the FC I'm currently visiting, not to the carrier menu of my own FC... I would have expected to get access to my own FC, like right panel in my ship
- you can't use emotes when seated (e.g. pointing = "engage")
- we need a dance-emote for the bar...
Basically the same situation as "we will look into fixing multicrew if more people use it!"
Hah.
Yeah, its amazing how FD so often shoot themselves in the foot with their statements.
Its the text equivalent of foot in mouth disease.
