[@Death_Vail666]

Now they need to make autominers (something that only mines so much but it's a good bit and you have to come back and pick the resources up) so that way people aren't constantly having to only do mining and can actually play the game.

It would be great if we could assign our NPC crew members to the carrier and give them orders to mine for Tritium to deposit in the Fleet Carrier storage or maybe send them off to hunt down bounties to earn money for you to help with the upkeep costs. The higher their rank the more credits or Tritium they earn/farm.

Nah, because that would mean that carriers could actually make passive profits, have a use and allow a player to grind less Grind less is not a word in frontier's language

[@nv3721]

I have been actually making money trading with my fleet carrier. I buy tritium low and sell for below galactic average. I also stock and sell items needed for human and guardian tech. I've sold over 10,000 items and made 600 million credits, all the while I do other things as well. I'm surprised how many people actually find my carrier to buy things since advertising is almost impossible.

[@diegowushu]

Well, I found a carrier that sold the material I needed in eddb, they're listed there. It saved me a 1k jump so it was pretty nice.

[@nv3721]

I wonder if you have to sign up with eddb like you do with inara to have your info show up. I haven't.

[@keyloh9386]

Elite dangerous market connector does all the "advertising" by broadcasting the market data for each port, station, and carrier you land on.

[@JCaristaTTV]

anything you sell on your carrier...is that "self-sourced" or is there a way to buy it bulk?

[@nv3721]

It's all self sourced. I've bought tritium low. I've farmed hundreds of meta alloys. I've done missions just for the commodities that can only be found that way. I then sell for a profit.

[@TheRadikarAuthor]

Changing the "look" of the Fleet Carrier also changes the horn when it jumps. I use Fortune because I like the deeper sound, but Nautilus is also cool and definitely gives more of the "fog horn" sound.

[@CMDRunematti]

i wouldve liked more to get a more expensive version too, that looked like that jump capable station back before colonia was established. rather would buy that :|

[@nrm8831]

I just hate that there is no way to plot multiple jumps in a row

[@Gazooka]

One thing I would have liked is upgrades for it, like a fuel scoop that basically drops down underneath and scoops tritium from stars like the destiny ship in stargate universe, and it could also be selected when to use it as it, because if you just want to jump without scooping it you can (by default) otherwise it would need to fly to the star before its final destination (unless the destination is the systems star) and it's arrival time after leaving would be like 2 mins longer to fill the tritium depot.

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

That awefully sounds like you are asking for less pointless grind.... yeah not going to happen. The entire plan for these carriers was to create a pointless money sink to compensate for all the credit exploits that people used in the past.

I bought my carrier, fit it with universal carts, shipyard, refuel, rearm, repair and outfitting... moved all my ships and modules to it - tried to mine tritium to fill it up for long range exploring, gave up on that grind so I grinded out buying tritium and filled it up, did a couple of jumps and got bored now it sits with 3bil credits and will probably sit until they mothball it from upkeep charges...

What I would like to see from Elite is more feeding of the RNG engine - more planet types, more stuff to find - the mystery of it wore off for me. I never found combat that great or compelling as it becomes grinding due to no real meaning to it, I did do some PVP but could not really think of a purpose so that got boring... As far as building a base - might be cool but if it is like FC where you grind for the sake of grinding then that will just be another reason for me to pass on Odyssey. I really do love Elite, had many, many hours for my $ but I think once you hit a wall with it, it's hard to go back especially when everything they add seems to be just more grind with no real reason Frontier don't know how to make it fresh again for people like me...

Your comment is literally one of the first comments I've read that isn't someone complaining about the upkeep costs or the refuel system😂😂

[@JCaristaTTV]

Thanks so much for putting this video up, it's the only one i've found that actually gets into what owning a fleet carrier entails. everything else i've seen is really just first look criticism or speculation. i really appreciate you taking the time to break it down and you've solidified my decision to grind up the money to buy one. i do have a couple of questions though, if anyone from experience since the carriers have officially dropped in-game. Location obviously plays a part in the revenue generation but, my question is, is it realistic to believe this thing could pay for itself? i intend on getting all of the available services to provide the full array of resources for anyone needing it. also, if anyone knows, what do the packages look like as far as items that can be bought specifically for resale? and is there a way to sell my personal modules/ships on the carrier or is that a "package only" type thing? also, if you have the means and desire, could you make a short video detailing that? (commodity and module/ship market/buy/sell aspect of carrier if there is any)

[@vnelson000]

Thank you! Very informative. Contemplating fleet carrier ownership. I'm only a 5th of the way there as upkeep finance for at least a year, must be part of any serious plan to own a fleet carrier. Mining for credits is difficult now.

[@charlescourtwright2229]

i honestly think all activities should pay around 10-20mil an hour base, with different activities paying more based on risk, no more risking a 20mil rebuy ship, with a 1mil price tag for heavy repair on a 300k combat mission

[@Glaccius]

We should be able to fit our carriers with specific types of internal modules so it could work more effectively. For exemple, if I'm an exploder I should be able to fit the carrier with something that takes away my cargo space but doubles my jump range or reduces my fuel consumption or allows me to set multiple jumps in a row...

[@Lebensgott]

i really would like it if squadrons could buy fleet carriers which are controlled by the squadron (or the people in the squadron who have the rights to control parts of the carrier)

[@tgm9991]

At first FCs were supposed to be a part of squadrons but FDev for some retarded reason thought that it would be best to make them personal with absolutely no option for it to be squadron controlled

[@BigDaddyWes]

@@tgm9991 You can easily fund one fleet carrier as a squadron, but someone has to be in charge. With the commodity market able to give the FC owner a cut (and allow them to sell any of the cargo in their own market at another station) other players are able to bring wealth onboard to pay the bills. You just have to be a little creative with this as you can't simply give another person credits.

[@TheKeyser94]

Wait, carriers in this game function basically like in X Rebirth and foundation, you cant actually command the ship, what is the point of having a carrier if you wont command it yourself, Spartpoint Gemini 2 and Warlord have carriers, with independent wings, you command the carrier and can order the fighters to swarm any enemy ships, is really a joy to see, and carriers can obliterate your fleet with their fifteen fighters.

99% of FC owners got their carriers by making fuck-tons of money exploiting game bugs and oversights that have since been fixed by frontier. Fleet carrier ownership effectively makes you a miserable Fleet Carrier employee, always working (grinding) to maintain the staggering upkeep costs. They enable you to move your ships around the bubble while simultaneously draining enjoyment out of your gaming experience. Now get back to work, wage-slave.

[@ElMitscha]

I like your videos. They are very insight- and helpful. But I really missed you adressing the very bad "design" decision, that you actually need to use one of your ships to transfer fuel to the carrier, instead of just transfering it from carrier cargo directly to its fuel depot. This is a major flaw and should be fixed soon. It kills immersion big time! And I hope that you as a renowned youtuber adress this issue, so that Frontier might listen and change it... State of now: To refuel your carrier, you have to - travel to it, - change your ship to one with a large cargo hold, - put your Tritium into your ship, - change to a completely different menu, - and "donate" it to your own carrier. WTH?! This is not to be "toxic". (I am not angry.) But how on Earth was this released in that poor state? I really do not comprehend this. Who thought this is a good idea and actually made it like that? This should just not be given a pass. It's bad. Thank you again for your videos! They helped a lot to understand the game better. I just wished you were more vocal about the the blatant shortcomings of the game. There are many, and I'm sure I don't have to list them here for you to notice them. I like much about Elite but Frontier needs feedback, positive AND negative. As long as it is constructive. And it is constructive to say "This is bad design." Because it is and has no need to be there. I sometimes think people conflate criticism with negativity. But criticism comes with the wish to improve and is constructive by nature... Well, I wrote too much already, who's going to care anyway :) Whatever you decide, however, I will still view you as one of the most helpful youtubers when it comes to Elite. Cheers!

[@ashleyblanc8894]

Questions CMDR 1.) Do you manually take out cargo from carrier and fly to a starport to sell goods? Or can it be automated, like selling minerals from carrier to starport directly? 2.) Same as number one, do you manually refuel your fleet carrier? From Starport to fleet carrier? Or can it be automated? 3.) Does outfitting modules consume your fleet carrier's cargo? 4.) If you die, will you respawn on your carrier? (Last landing stop vs in the system, but not your last landing stop)

[@osoreru4381]

1 and 2) You need to use a ship to transport anything from station to FC, goods, fuel, money and Rubber ducks 3) Yes 4) As long as the Carrier doesn't move (inside system or to another one) you will respawn at the carrier, if the carrier moves a fraction of an atom then you will respawn at the last docking before the FC (repeat if you also landed on another FC before docking in yours)

Also if you buy commodities from other commanders like ore/minerals via your market, how do you then sell that to a station?, do you have to buy a trading ship to ferry the good to a station or is there an easier way?

I would like to know more about how "accured costs" and "projected costs" are calculated, and what they mean in the first place. They don't add up to result in the normal upkeep cost of modules. What else is calculated into them?

[@scorpion29a]

Accured cost is the cost you already have to pay based on how much did you used services, Projected costs is what you will still need to pay based on time remaining until next payment cycle. If you add all expenses together you get to the big number shown above, which is how much you'll pay at next upkeep (if you don't change any service, jump, etc)

I don't understand the point of a Fleet Carrier. Maybe if they were to remove the "demand" feature from stations. Its not like anyone is gonna save up 25,000T of LTD then turn them in at any 1 spot because the demand will always screw you over. So then you need to jump around like 10 times to turn them all in. 200 minutes of just turning in LTD. Seems easier to just drop 550T from your cutter build at a time every hour only 60-80LY away since you don't need Overlaps at all.

so theoretically can you use this for extremely fast trading? say I jump it into a system that manufactures gold. I could take all of the ships I'm carrying to the station and fill them with gold and then bring them back to the carrier. I could also fill the carrier with gold and then when everything is full I can jump it into a system that's demanding gold and empty the hold and all my ships. am I correct?

It would take a while to load and unload 25000 gold but yes

That wouldn't work, you can fill up your carrier cargo and 1 ship with cargo. But not all your ships also full of cargo. You can't switch from T9 with say 500t and then get into a sidewinder, you have to dump the 500t before it would let you switch.

[@lucasZr113]

Wait, how much of a percentage you're getting back when selling?

[@varthelm]

Aye, that's the number one, need to know thing. Lots of info online at various stages of its development and some of it contradictory. If decommissioned, from what I understand you get the cost of the modules and hull back less any debt the carrier incurred and maybe a fee? What about depreciation, was it removed completely? I know you get your ships and modules back at a nearby station but what about the credits you have in the carrier (assuming you forgot to drain it before decommission). What about anything you have in storage, is that lost? This vid was very helpful as a users guide on how to operate the carrier. I was looking for more info about the risks of owning one financially.

YAY more grind! The reason why I and many others quit playing the game. It's a game, not a job. Why can't Fdev figure this out? smh

[@nelsonbolduc7751]

[@BigDaddyWes]

Yes.

[@alezandercorben4122]

I think only triple elite cmdrs are allowed to have a fleet carrier.

[@tgm9991]

No

[@necares]

at what point do you choose the design of the fleet carrier that you want?

[@DowntoEarthAstronomy]

Whenever. It's like changing ship kit on a normal ship

[@lorienator]

Thank you, Commander o7

[@mickbohannon1104]

So... Is it worth?

[@reckless4957]

love you video,thank you

[@D312-d6k]

o7. How do I make sure no one buys my Tritium in my Commodity Market ? I set it to " Buy" ? Not "Sell". I heard of guys who got cleaned out after all their hard work. Not funny

[@tgm9991]

You make sure no one buys trit from the market by not setting trit to be sold. If anyone has been "cleaned out" of theirs by people buying it off them then that is purely a result of their own incompetence.

[@TheCriticom]

They Seem too expensive to own or run I think Frontier need to rethink fleet carrier mechanics or at least have NPC's get Tritium for you.

[@dphilipson]

when selling on the black market on the FC it says " Transaction canceled: Commodity no longer required" but FC not full... help?

[@raf.b]

Today i will buy one.

tl;dr: grind 6 billion credits and cry.

[@MrTimjm009]

I would get 10 billion . ship + outfitting + upkeep for a year . Just to start . Then you need to play each week several hours to top up your reserves .

[@NightOwlGames]

ffs its gone back up to 5 billion...... its litterally gonna take me years to earn that amount

[@brotherlucktrades]

If you mine a bit of LTD’s using the EGG method, youll be there in no time!

[@tgm9991]

It takes a few hours to make billions in the game right now

[@MrTimjm009]

switch between massacre missions and robigo/sothis passenger runs . Do a week of each . I ve worked out it could be done in 6 weeks if you did about 1 / 2 hours a day . Thats for the ship . Then up to 3 / 4 bill for outfitting and cash float to get you going . (Call it 5) 10 in total Its a lot .... call it 3 months ( make it 4 months ) . That should get 5 for the ship , up to 1 bill for any out fitting ( I think that would cover every extra module and you wont be doing that I imagine , but still ) That leaves up to 4 bill for costs and any buying of fuel plus commodities and ships etc. That should last you a couple of years .. That it what Im currently aiming for . We will see anyway .

Pretty much anything branded "gaming" has a high chance to be an inferior product.
