A growing discussion among Elite Dangerous players highlights a sovereignty issue with Fleet Carriers. Hostile players can currently park multiple Fleet Carriers indefinitely inside another group's home system, using them as bases to disrupt the controlling faction's operations. The defending faction has no effective way to contest or evict these carriers, even when holding political or military control of the system. This imbalance has led to calls for Frontier Developments to implement eviction mechanics or system sovereignty rules to restore control and fairness in contested systems. The conversation reflects ongoing player concerns about maintaining meaningful territorial control in the evolving game universe.
- Hostile Fleet Carriers can occupy home systems indefinitely.
- No current eviction or contest mechanics exist for defending factions.
