Introduction

Fleet Carrier Management System (FCMS) is an EDMC plug-in that automatically reports fleet carrier jumps to https://fleetcarrier.space. This website tracks fleet carrier movements and locations, optionally back to a squadron Discord.

This plug-in is based off the Fuel Rats EDMC plug-in written by Absolver for https://github.com/FuelRats/FCMS. I am not the original author. I merely added an MSI installer and decluttered the main window display.

Installation and Upgrade

Requirements:

  1. Install Elite Dangerous Market Connector (EDMC) version 5.0 (Odyseey release) or later.
  2. Create an account on https://fleetcarrier.space.
  3. Purchase a fleet carrier in Elite: Dangerous.

To install:

  1. Download the MSI file for the latest release under the Releases at the top right. You may get a warning saying it is potentially harmful. Please ignore these warnings.
  2. Run the MSI. This installs the plug-in, upgrading if an earlier version is present. Running the MSI does not require local administrative privileges.
  3. Restart EDMC if it was already running.

Use

First, create an account on https://fleetcarrier.space. Optionally, configure Discord integration for your squadron's Discord server. You will need your commander name, email address and API key. You can find or create your API key on https://fleetcarrier.space/my_carrier under the "Settings" tab on the right, as shown below:

Fleetcarrier.space HOW-TO

To configure (only needed once):

  1. Run EDMC.
  2. Open the "File" -> "Settings" menu. This opens the EDMC settings menu.
  3. Navigate to the "FCMS" tab. This shows settings for this plug-in.
  4. Enter your commander name, email address and API key from https://fleetcarrier.space.
  5. Click OK to close the dialog and save your settings.

To use:

  1. Start EDMC before you jump your fleet carrer, if not when you start playing Elite: Dangerous.
  2. Operate your fleet carrier as normal.
  3. The FCMS plug-in automatically updates https://fleetcarrier.space with your fleet carrier movements.

This plug-in supports multiple accounts, saving different settings for each.

See LICENSE for the license. There was no license included with the original source code.

Limitations

  1. The discord integration for https://fleetcarrier.space specifies the source system for a carrier jump. However, this plug-in reports the system the commander was in when issuing the jump order. It does not report the carrier's current system.
