Eurogamer.net: August 22, 2019 at 02:30PM - Elite Dangerous shows off long-awaited 16-player Fleet Carriers

Fleet Carriers, which will be available to all Elite Dangerous players on release, were initially announced to launch as part of 2018's Beyond update. However, as Beyond's fourth and final chapter neared, Frontier revealed that Fleet Carriers had been "reprioritised".
