A new fleet carrier owner in Elite Dangerous has encountered a significant navigation limitation: the carrier can only plot one jump at a time. Despite investing 5 billion credits to acquire the carrier, the player found they cannot plan multi-jump routes, complicating long-distance travel such as reaching star systems 7,000 light years away. This restriction affects players aiming to use fleet carriers for extended exploration or data-selling missions, sparking community debate about the rationale behind limiting jump plotting to a single leg per carrier. The limitation remains in place as of August 2026, impacting strategic planning for fleet carrier use.
- Fleet carriers can only plot one jump at a time, no multi-jump routes.
- This affects long-distance exploration and data-selling missions using carriers.
