Note posted at 17:00 - Fleet Carrier jump times have greatly increased. This is a deliberate queue-management feature built-in as a server safeguard. We expect many Commanders are jumping simultaneously to experience the jumps from the inside! We expect a return to normal levels once this initial spike in excitement dissipates.
For anyone unable to Disembark on their Fleet Carriers, please trying re-logging and restarting the game client. Apologies to anyone inconvenienced or unable to resolve the issue this way. We are aware and investigating.
PATCH NOTES
Greetings Commanders,
Update 11 has arrived! Since Elite Dangerous’ inception, Commanders yearned to stand and walk on planets throughout the Milky Way which Odyssey has delivered. Now it’s time to sit down once again, put those feet up, and enjoy one of the most glorious views in the game from the inside: a Fleet Carrier jump.
This release also brings a range of fixes and features including the brand new Protect mission type. If you’re up for the challenge, these missions will demand more of Commanders than previous types. Read all about them and everything else in Update 11 below:
Fleet Carriers
Interiors have been added to Fleet Carriers to enjoy on-foot. These include:
Main Areas
It is now possible to sit in all chairs and barstools found on all concourses (albeit one at a time).
Missions
That’s a wrap for Update 11! We hope you enjoy all of the above and get to experience a Fleet Carrier jump from your owner’s chair or the viewing deck in the near future.

Fleet Carriers
Interiors have been added to Fleet Carriers to enjoy on-foot. These include:
Main Areas
- A main concourse and hangar lobby.
- A Command Deck with an additional area for the owner and their Wing.
- A seating area for safe Fleet Carrier jumps.
- Bar
- Vista Genomics service desk
- Pioneer Supplies store
- Shipyard access point (included with the Shipyard service)
- On-foot access to the shipyard is now available (added automatically if the Shipyard service is enabled).
