Fleet Carriers: A request for a design pass

Posted: 04 May 2021 06:53 AM PDT

Let's be honest, fleet carriers could use more than a few quality of life additions and features overall. Despite being the End Game Thing™, they don't actually do a whole lot more than carry your ships, modules, and maybe some cargo. With that in mind, I have a few tweaks and additions I'd like to see if they were to get a design pass:

Hide non-dockable fleet carriers from the system map. If I can't dock there because the carrier owner's docking permissions don't allow it, there's no point in me dropping in, let alone the carrier cluttering my system map. Edit: Make this an option, as carriers can impact the BGS, and knowing which factions you're fighting against is a must.
Speaking of system map clutter, all the carrier icons should be condensed down to one per astronomical body, with the number of carriers if there are multiple.
Let us refuel our carriers directly from their cargo! Please!
Roll refuel and repair services into the base fleet carrier and have them be covered by the base upkeep. Why does it double our upkeep (to just short of 500 million a year!) for such basic services? Are you telling me that refuelling and repairing much smaller ships costs as much as the entire upkeep (fuelling, maintenance, wages, etc) for the carrier?
Squadron carrier registries? Have a page in each squadron that lists any carriers owned by their members that allow docking for squadron members. Also add an option for the owner to hide their carrier from the registry. Clicking on a carrier in the registry should pull up the system map and highlight that carrier.
Outfitting and shipyards should allow us to stock specific ships and modules without filling the cargo hold with other worthless crap. If someone wants to stock nothing but Anacondas and jump over to Hutton Orbital, they should have that freedom.
Allow us to plot entire routes for the carrier to follow, even if we have to plot them manually, system by system. Having to log in to punch in the next system every 20 minutes doesn't add any enjoyment.
Finally, last but not least, more paints! We currently have what, vibrant colours, squadron paints, and a few jumbles of colours? Where are our emissive paints, our metallics? Decals wouldn't go amiss, either... maybe also let us customise the interiors - the hangars, and concourses if we end up getting them.
