Only a Squadron leader can purchase a Javelin-Class Carrier. Once bought other squad members can interact with it to varying degrees. Anyone with Navigation permissions can plot a [[Hyperspace]] jump to another [[Star system|system]]. | |||
Squadron | The carrier is purchased by the squadron leader for 25 billion credits in the squadron bank account, at stations with a dealer of carrier ships. The carrier has a [[shipyard]] service enabled by default. Additional services are bought seperately, so it's recommended to have an additional 2 billion. | ||
The carrier is planned to be used as the main asset for the squadron, and a convenient center for conducting various joint operations within one squadron. There are 32 on board landing platforms different sizes for placement squadrons, which makes it a mobile base with more functionality and resources, like standard ones orbital stations. | |||
The Squadron Bank contains general loans, [[ships]], [[goods]] and [[commodities]]. Players can either donate these to the bank, or withdraw what is stored. Direct transfer to a squadron member without going through the bank is also possible. | |||
== Comparison with a Drake-Class == | |||
The Javelin-Class operates similarly to a [[Drake-Class Carrier]], though it's considerably larger with twice as many [[Landing Pad|landing pads]] (32 in total: 16 large, 8 medium and 8 small). The squadron carrier's capacity is 60,000 units (tonnes), which is also used to store goods and maintain the infrastructure for various additional services. In addition, the capacity is spent on what is stored in the squadron bank. Despite the squadron bank, the carrier has its own balance of credits, from which funds are debited for weekly maintenance, hull maintenance after jumps, and for trade (like a Drake-Class). The main maintenance of the squadron carrier is twice as expensive - 10,000,000 credits. The max jump range is 500 ly. All other technical aspects are similar to the Drake-Class. | |||
The interior features wider space and additional decorative elements. When entering the main deck of the ship, on one side you will have the squadron bank itself, closed by a powerful pressure door. On the other side — access to classic station services: Cosmoverf, Vista Genomics, Pioneer Supplies and waiting room bar. The captain's bridge is unchanged and no different from the private carrier ship except for the rest room on the command deck, where a briefing room has been added. | |||
== Bank == | |||
The Squadron Carrier has a bank for sharing resources between squadron members, including credits, ships, commodities, personal assets and goods. Ships stored in the bank can be leased to other members and they can be outfitted with any purchasable module (such as a fully A-rated vessel). Engineered and unlocked modules cannot be added. Access and control of bank assets have rank-based restrictions and weekly withdrawal limits that can be configured by the squadron leaders.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-N8Fly9HTc Elite Dangerous | Frontier Unlocked | May Highlight] - 30 May 2025 - YouTube</ref> | |||

Items stored in the bank do not affect the available capacity of the medium (unlike goods and ships), but additionally the Carrier Capacity is limited to 60,000 units of ships, goods and items stored. Permission groups can be created by squadron leaders, which allows them to set which player ranks are available for what's stored in this group. Accordingly, when transferring something to the bank, a squadron member can choose whether it will be available to all or only some members. The group may have restrictions on input and output per week (you can limit any resource - loans, ships, goods and items). The Transaction Log records the activities in the bank. | |||
Any ship can be transferred to the bank if its acquisition does not require unlocking a rank of the [[Federal Navy]] or [[Imperial Navy]], or if it doesn't have [[Engineers|engineered]] [[Outfitting|modules]]. When another player retrieves a ship from the bank, he or she gains full utilization as if it were purchased. | |||

Despite the | Acquiring a Squadron Carrier costs 25 billion [[credits]] from a [[Fleet Carrier Outfitting Service|Carrier Management system]]. The base weekly upkeep is also higher at 10 million credits per week. Despite the higher base costs, additional upkeep costs with added services are similar to a standard Drake-Class Carrier's, plus an additional maintenance cost for hyperspace jumps. Hyperjump maintence is also double, adding 200 thousand per jump. | ||
