Can't believe this is still not fixed - this would've been the perfect opportunity to sort this out after about a year... utterly shambolic.
So... do you have to be in your ship to initiate a jump? Why not from the command chair? Am I missing something?
EDIT
Ah, you do it from the private CMDR room...

You can do it from one of the terminals available on the carrier, and then move to your command chair if you like.
It can allegedly be scheduled from the Captain's Quarters, just off the bridge. I don't know, I couldn't get on my FC as it kept running away from me...
Disengage gravity boots, float gracefully to the lower level.
It's a sparkling outlook on life.
What's extra funny is you can't even see any of these NPCs in person, only the bartender and pioneer rep. Lmao, what was the point in ruining the portraits?
Servers are backed up with everyone trying to jump, it'll return to normal once everyone gets back to normal routines.
Got all excited thinking we might be able to go into an actual shipyard area... but of course not.
Love the interiors, love the jump animation, but the services are frankly speaking, and excuse my French, a steaming pile of doo doo.
Barman is a heavily manual process, no ability to trade like at stations, no ability to exchange. Can't set to both buy and sell. So if you want to buy one thing one moment and then sell at another moment, or others coming to buy and sell, you have to faff around. I'd hoped we could trade with our own barmen like on stations.
Supplies are also pants. Ok, maybe there are no random upgrade/engineered weapons and armour... a bit of a shame, but all i can buy are energy packs. I can't buy any of the other consumables. Why?
Its a bit of a mixed bag unfortunately.
Oh yeah, and the bar cost like the shipyard..... that's one expensive bar.
I hope you are kind enough to leave a pint or two for your crew to enjoy in their down time!
This is likely a temporary measure to keep the servers from catching fire since everyone in the game is jumping their carriers to admin systems right now.
I'm trying to get OUT of an admin system and have to wait 52 minutes. Time for tea and a biscuit.

I'm hoping you can answer a few questions I have (can't get into the game due to work yet, and don't have my own FC so will take a while to explore all the new bits on other people's carriers):
- is the jump animation the same as before, or has this been upgraded/changed somehow?
- is it possible to trade data?
- from what you're saying above, is the bar trading menu essentially the same as the FC commodity one? If so that would suck indeed.
- I thought the shipyard area is a separate room, is it not or is it just very basic?
Am i missing something somewhere, but is there no way to access carrier management screen from the command room? I sat in the command chair and the little screen on the right moved into position and its not selectable. Really? this would have been the perfect way to access the management screen. I know i can use the insight hub, just seems like a waste of time standing up and then accessing the instight hub, when you could just click the litle screen and do it.
Just like the pizza boxes?
Lets be honest. FCs cost 5 billion because thats the insurance costs for personal accidents that keep on happening. "2 days since last accident" signs support FCs being a cluster of trip / falling hazards.
