Fleet carriers are end-game ships that are owned but not piloted by players. The owner can set a destination for them to travel to and they will go there (travelling on the server tick, iirc). The owner (and with permission other players) can dock and trade with the fleet carrier.

I assume that krazykrok docked with someone’s fleet carrier then logged out and didn’t return for a while, by which time it had been moved a long way back towards human-occupied space.

That’s pretty cool, thanks for the explanation!
