carrier instruction permissions

[CyberWire]

can permissions be set in some way to give other players command over your carrier? like to move it between systems and manage upgrades on it and whatever?

Not to my knowledge. FCs are an extension of your Commander, and the closest point of approach for what you ask occurs at the Squadron level.

FCs have a setting for Docking Access; one of the alternatives is for Squadron, allowing only members of the Squadron to dock. The Squadron wouldn't have to be formed by the Commander who owns the FC, but as long as they are a part of that Squadron, the FC can work out the access logically. Only your Commander can change docking access, though.

There are many Commander-specific tasks on a FC: FC Bank, Services, Navigation, Trade, Cargo Hold, to name a few.

Which gets me to thinking, if I wanted to setup my FC to allow some other Commander to Refuel it after it made 7 or 8 jumps without me being Docked? That can be done remotely, provided the FC has Tritium in the Cargo Hold and the other Commander has enough credits to buy the Tritium.

ahh aright thanks for the info, I though perhaps you could make it like a seperate entity from your account by giving it to a squadron and then anyone with sufficient perms in the squadron could give it instructions

Nope, sad to say. It is nice to be able to limit docking permissions at Squad Level, though; most useful in populated systems to keep the FC deck clear of NPC traffic.

No, fleet carriers are personal assets, not squadron owned/controlled.
