Commander can store up to 40 ships in Carrier's Shipyards, and retrieve them again, all at no cost.<br> | |||
Stored ships travel with the Carrier, even when their owner is not present on the Carrier.<br> | |||
'''Be aware''' that Carrier owner can at '''any time''' restrict you docking access, remove (disable) the Shipyard, or jump the Carrier to far away system, complicating access to your stored ships (or forcing you to play high transfer fees)! Only store ship(s) on Carriers who's owner you trust. | |||
There are several methods how to store and retrieve multiple ships to and from a Carrier. Some simple, some more complex but faster.<br> | |||
Apex taxi does not offer Cmdrs ferry to Cmdr owned Carriers and those Carriers do not have Apex taxi desk, so you can't take taxi from them. This complicates moving your ships to and from Carrier. | |||
=== '''Storing multiple ships''' === | |||
'''Method A'''<br> | |||
Land first ship on the Carrier, then from it's Shipyard request transfer of rest of your ships to the Carrier.<br> | |||
Cons: | |||
* You will have to pay a transfer fee that may be very high for expensive ships and larger distances from the Carrier. | |||
* This is also slow, easily taking real world hours or even days for longer distances. | |||
* It locks the ships in transfer state, without option to cancel the process. | |||
Following methods are more complicated, but faster and more flexible. They are only possible in [[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|Odyssey version of the game]] as they require [[On Foot|on-foot mode]]. | |||
'''Method B'''<br> | |||
This requires help from another Commander that you trust. | |||
# Play in '''Private group session''' or '''Open''' | |||
# Fly a ship to the Carrier, land, Disembark | |||
# Have your friend Cmdr land there too, pick you up in person in their ship and fly you to location where your next ship for transfer is located. | |||
'''Method C''' | |||
# First ideally gather all the ships at one '''station''' with Shipyard. | |||
# Make sure that that station is the last one you docked at, making it your 'safe spot' for respawning. Possibly launch from the station in any ship and dock again if not sure. | |||
# Fly fist ship to the Carrier, land, Disembark, then use Escape pod in Carrier's concourse. This will move you to your 'safe spot' station in on-foot mode. | |||
# In the concourse, at Inter Astra shop request your next ship. Repeat from step 3. | |||
=== '''Retrieval of multiple ships''' === | |||
'''Method A'''<br> | |||
Fly to (closest) station with Shipyard. From there request transfer of your ships to that station. | |||
This of course has the same cons as storing method A. | |||
'''Method B'''<br> | |||
This requires help from another Commander that you trust. | |||
# Play in '''Private group session''' or Open | |||
# Fly first ship from Carrier to nearby station | |||
# Have your friend Cmdr land there too, pick you up in person in their ship and fly you back to the Carrier. | |||

If the service is suspended before the weekly payment, the amount owed will correspond to the Suspended amount instead of the full amount, even if the service was active all week. You can dodge the week maintenance fees by removing the service completely before the week payment, since you get a full refund of the service installation cost. | If the service is suspended before the weekly payment, the amount owed will correspond to the Suspended amount instead of the full amount, even if the service was active all week.
