and the galaxy started opening up for players to explore and have fun
Galaxy has always been open. You yourself are just returning from a trip to Sag A*, that sounds plenty open to me without the use of an FC.
ok so LTD's might have been too much, but it gave players a chance to get the new stuff and expand the game
But the second half of that doesn't cancel out the first part. LTD's were too much. The end.
removal of money and fuel means carriers will just die out
Not a bad thing. All the populated systems are cluttered up with them. Far from opening up the galaxy, as you previously stated, it appears most have just remained in the populated areas.
people will sell them back and never bother again
Again, not a bad thing.
i'm on my way back from Sag A i was hoping to get a carrier when i got home
that's not going to happen now
The key word being now. If you don't have the funds for one NOW, it doesn't mean you can't have one later. If you're refusing to buy one because the profits are down, then you were never going to use it to its fullest potential. So it might be a good idea the you don't get one.
we should just sell all the carriers back
Again, I hope some do. They have become a blight in most systems they are in. Exclusively used for such a narrow purpose.
I made the analogy the other day and I further expand on it now. It's as though the Govt finally released the sale of car to the public and 95% of Britons purchased one, all drove to Littlehampton, tried to park in the same car park, to visit the same fish and chip shop, to get a bag of chips. They have been primarily used in such a narrow band of gameplay, it's almost embarrassing.
i mean what's the point of them now ?
They carry your Fleet, my understanding is, on a full tank they go go 60,000ly. I mean,. that's enough to go deep into space. You could use them to haul all sorts of stuff for missions. I'm sure people will develop (if they haven't already) ways to use them for BGS, maybe start privateer armies that a CMDR can call in to help overthrow a system. They were not built solely for extracting LTD's and selling them. The limits of use are matched to the limits of the CMDRs imagination.
