Cant upgrade fleet carrier must be in administrative system
Super annoying since all of them are filled up with carriers already and people just leave them there so now i cant try mine out honestly i think the fact that you have to be in one of these systems is super annoying and is going to cause so many issues down the line i should be able to upgrade my carrier in any populated system.

I agree. This "administration systems" limitation doesn't serve any in-game purpose, other than limiting the ability to use Fleet Carriers. Especially when there is a limit on how many FCs this administrative star system can have.

You want to modify your FCs configuration? You can't do it here, you should go to that star system to do it. Oh, and you can't go to that star system, cause it's full. Have fun!

The fact that people will buy these and take breaks from the game will cause this issue to be worse in the live build.

Which also brings a question: "why to add a game mechanic that will cause nothing but troubles to the game?"

Adding a limitation to the game only has a "fun" value, if overcoming this limitation feels rewarding. Like putting a ship behind a rank lock. When you overcome the lock you have your reward - a new ship.

But locking the ability to use your own Fleet Carrier only to some star systems doesn't give that feeling of a reward, when you overcome it. You only unlock something that you was entitled to by buying the FC to begin with. It doesn't feel like an achievement. It only feels like finally ending the frustration, caused by that lock.

you do realize the only reason you are having the issue right now is because of the blow out and they cost only a mil. there will be next to no carriers on a normal day to day basis when it goes live. to top it off they get decommissioned after a time of non payment iirc
