The Fleet Carrier is a very large, dockable vessel that will act as a mobile base of operations for Squadrons, and will be included in the Q4 2018 update of Elite Dangerous: Beyond. Squadron members can refuel, rearm, and respawn there.[1] It will be the first fully player-owned capital ship type.

It is unknown if Fleet Carriers will be an entirely new type of vessel, or a subtype of dockable Megaships, which have similar functions to Fleet Carriers but cannot be directly owned or commanded by players.

The official Elite Dangerous - Digital Art Book[2] has concept art of what appears to be a carrier ship. During Frontier Expo 2017 the art director said they didn't start designing the carriers yet, they just know what they will need to do.[3] So they could be quite different from Megaships.
