Stronghold carrier admin: "Oi, you got a loicence for that permit!?"

It's gilt-edged, glamorous and sleek by design
it's got its sharp edges, hidden inside
It's hard, unrestrained and it's totally cool
It teases and it pleases as you're cruising through the starlight
Over half a billion spent so far on her, and still more engineering to go, just because she's the prettiest boat in the shipyard.
AHDo stronghold carriers have some type of rank or allegiance requirements?
I presume its power play and you need to be pledged to the controlling power.

Also, the PLASMA CHARGERS seems to have a mind of their own, they fire even when the trigger is fully depressed, I'll investigate this to make sure I reduce overheating.
So at the end of a sortie I often end up with structural damage, what I do now, is to Reboot and Repair to make sure I don't have to crawl to the pad during landing on the Carrier.

Jawohl DuffalThinder, you are trying to dissuade. The case here is false advertising not ships per say.
I'm making a valid point, if they did indeed advertise the Python MK II as superior is wasn't a false claim.

Jawohl DuffalArtieSo you are complaining about something that was never an intention. Any regular ship you buy for credits is similarly useless.
Untrue or misleading information given to you to get you to buy something that's definition of false advertising to me that's exactly what ARX PMKII was. There was the intention to sell ARX so to say to make money...
You are reacting to something completely different (the "problem" that the loadouts for the ships bought for ARX are basic). Either way, although I am not sure if the claim "Python Mk II is a superior combat ship" was actually made by FDev (as far as I remember they wanted to position it to compete with the PvP ships by some of their streams, but I cannot dispute for certain they truly said the first), the constant spinning on: "They lied to us! Bad, bad Frontier!" during any even remotely related opportunity starts to be tiresome.
(And I will move this whole discussion into the Rant corner where it belongs later on.)

I spent quite a bit of time mining for some high end materials this week. I transferred them to my carrier instead of selling to myself. I jumped in the game today and much of the material I mined is gone. Nothing is set to sell in the carrier. Is there something I've done wrong?

Equiped with 4 X 2B GUARDIAN PLASMA CHARGER [FIXED], the best my FDL can do is 2.7 and 80. in Damage and Armour Percing...
That's why the Krait MK II is a beast in a CZ, sure, she doesn't have the combat Persistence of the Corvette, less Base Shield and Armour, less capacity to recharge the shields, but she has enough and is agile enough to take down any other ship type FAST and get out of dodge when the furball get tough.
Even with Standard ammo, I saw a ship go one salvo k-boom with 17% HP remaining and I'm sure those weapons can do more.

I don't believe you've done anything wrong. More people have been reporting similar issues recently. A few days ago, 100 units of Graphene and carbon plate I intended to sell through my FC bartender mysteriously vanished on me when I transferred them. Yet, common low-end items like aerogel transfer without a problem. Go figure.

MeowersHells... Using premium synths on a single PvE bot schmuck and validating something through it?
Imagine using premium synths for any PvE content except (maybe) fighting a Hydra solo, where that extra damage might actually be meaningful in the fight.
I personally wouldn’t outside - maybe - that situation.

MeowersHells... Using premium synths on a single PvE bot schmuck and validating something through it?
Yes and so WHAT?
I would have killed this Elite FDL with standard ammo anyway, FACT IS; the Krait has the agility and resilience to do it, using premium just make things faster, no need for a Mamba or a Python MK II, point; the Krait has more firepower and shield than both. Ooooops.
Ps. If you like to take more damage and take more time to get a kill, you're welcome to use Standard Ammunition.
