A LOOK AT FLEET CARRIERS AS WE APPROACH A YEAR SINCE PRODUCT DROP: I have long been a champion of FC's when others were hating on them and I will say this, FC's are good. If you wanted to make them GREAT all you need to change is:
1. Ability to schedule multi jump routes.
2. Ability for the fuel crew that I pay millions a week to actually manage the fuel. Either automated or at my REMOTE direction.
3. Ability for my FC to recognize ME as the owner and give me a special landing pad and dialogue. Don't greet me with "watch your speed" when I'm the FC owner.
4. Ability for more livery options such as a special kit/paint job for high ranks (wasted top 2 ranks for feds and imps).
5. Also add the ability for owners to sacrifice some storage to access extra module slots say 100 tons to add an extra 100 module slots and expandable up to as many tons as an owner wants to go.
6. Add in the ability for an FC owner to put up his own money to generate missions such as go fetch me X or go run Y cargo to Z location. Included in this the ability to pay commanders to resupply your goods.
7. Let the owner sell EXACTLY the ships and modules he wants no more FORCED to buy packs nonsense! If you want to buy packs for a GREATLY REDUCED WHOLESALE price that’s fine.
8. Allow for FC’s to actually support all the roles they list as their task. For example, an “Anti Xeno” FC has no ability to even sell AX modules. This is a grievous oversight that should be addressed.
9. Add a couple of set-piece locations upon Odyssey drop. Hell, even half-ass it if you must and steal the ONE BIG ASS CONCOURS design philosophy from stations if you must but instead of the shops and bar make it: BRIDGE (with bridge view of jump sequence) Briefing Room and then the various services you have on your FC (UC, Bounty turn in; Shipyard; etc.). Also, add a private captain’s quarters trophy/ “player housing” room and a player-controlled message board where people can communicate and coordinate things.
Do these and FC’s would go from being good to GREAT.
