This is not the same as storage for ships to sell.
This tells us that we can all store our ships on a carrier. All of them.
I appreciate the effort, but if you're gonna non-answer with a flat bit of marketing talk, don't bother.
I have 2 accounts also and both could afford a FC, but I'm probably just going to get it on just one account, at least to start. After I mess around with it a while, I'll decide if I want/need a second one.
Mine won't.
Ye ...i'm not going even buy it, so mine too excluded.
Please, please FD let us sell engineered modules on board the FC, how cool would that be?
Also, why are we not able to hand in exploration data? I heard one of the reasons was so we would still use stations. Of course we will, we still need to by ships and modules

A very large number of them were pirates and gankers.
The usual suspects either looking for legitimate pirating activity or cheap thrills, destroying mining ships with minimal defensive capability.

Answer the question.
Remember 'Blaze your own trail'? That phrase didn't age well.
While I wound't mind UC being added to FCs, I still don't understand while people are so worked up about this. Does every piece of content have to cater to every player and play style out there?
Why not given everyone a FC for free, with no upkeep cost?
Not a suggestion, but a serious question, the answer to which depends on their purpose - the purpose of introducing them into the game.
We all have an opinion of the price etc, but the why (5Bn/10M per week etc) is still a mystery to me.
I can speculate like many here. And like many here imagine my speculation is fact.
The purpose is not entirely clear to me either, 'late game money sink' seems like a solid bet right now. My only hope is that we also get some quality game-play alongside.
You are making a lot of wild assumptions based on unrealistic data. Out of those 1.5 million copies, how many people do you think still play this game? Games have terrible retention which makes this....
Completely pointless. You also assume that 3% is going to be the standard across the board. Not true at all. People who use external tools and sites and bother to register for them are people who invest more heavily in the game. That directly correlates to their wealth. Thus Inara percentage will be a higher number than the general population as people who register there will be more invested in the game than people who just mess around in it.
LOL. Based on feedback i have seen, unless they make some serious tweaks to carriers, there wont be 20k carriers in the game in June 2021 little lone in Borann in June 2020. Maybe 1 out of 10 people who say " i have the money for this thing" also say" i would buy one of these in their current state" , that maint. fee and money sink even when your not playing and then an auto decommission REALLY puts people off these.
You keep on living in fantasy land though, maybe your dream of enough carriers in Borann to form a Dyson Sphere will come true!

"Also test to be a guest on the Fleet"
Nice One .... I think you have triked all of us ....

how long does it take to mine 500t of anything if you can only use surface and subsurface deposits? - a very long time. laser and core mining wont do it, it has to be abrasion blasters and sub-surface missiles
unless every second rock is covered in tritium deposits, the 2 hour jump cycle wont matter once you need more fuel

Hmm that was not how the reveal was coming across, but it does make it ( slightly) more appealing. If the shipyard only takes up X regardless of how many of our own ships we stuff in it.
Between 100000 and 200000 accounts are played more or less regularly - that is at least once per week or per 2 weeks.
It's a number that appear on the forums quite often based on various statistics, including squadron statistics.
Yes, so in February there were at least 4000 commanders that had more than 5bn cash.
And in June there will be way more, because people are mining like there is no tomorrow.
They suddenly found a new use for them credits.
To those, we should add the numbers of commanders that do not bother to register to Inara.
So maybe there will not be 48000 cmdrs, but certainly there will be way more than 4000.
20000 was only the middle ground
Yeah, sure - from the 50 people that posted on this thread?
Keep in mind FD have the real statistics and i'm pretty sure the costs and the maintenance were not chosen randomly
But the prices are certainly not set in stone and could be adjusted before launch. Apparently they did that before with certain ships.
I wish the Carrier came fully barebone. I intend to use mine as a carrier only, and not as a trading post, so I don't need the marketplace that comes with it as default.
