Main Discussion
- Fleet Carriers – Content Reveal Announcement
- PC Gamer covers it and releases some more info than Frontier does
“If owners consistently fall behind on their payments, the fleet carriers might, ultimately, be decommissioned and sold for parts.”- The Yamiks questions it
- And Frontier Confirms
“Hi Yamiks. Thanks for sharing the news. We’ve lots of new features to share in our upcoming stream, including how the decommission system works (spoiler: you need to incur on HUGE debt for that to happen). And our devs know that you’d want to go on vacation from time to time!” - And Stephen quells fears on the forums
“While Fleet Carriers require a weekly upkeep for crew and enabled Fleet Carrier services, there are a number of options which will allow owners to earn credits and cover the ongoing running costs of a Fleet Carrier. There’s more to the debt and decommissioning of a Fleet Carrier, and it’s not something that should happen if the player hasn’t incurred a HUGE amount of debt. We understand there’s a fair bit of concern about this but rest assured, we’ll be going over this in quite a lot of detail in the upcoming Content Reveal livestream next week.
There are also going to be two public beta periods where you’ll be able to test this for yourselves and share with us your feedback.”
