How can I afford a fleet carrier?
- Thread starter N3MEAN
- Start date
I wasn't being critical old chap, I'm just trying to suggest be a little circumspect in case you run out of gas as you go along
After 5 (or is it 6 now) years of daily play I have 2 billion credits to my name but an awful lot of good memories and I still enjoy playing. Personally I decided not to bother even trying for one. I must say I'm kinda astonished by just how many fleet carriers there are knowing how much grind is required to get one. I wonder if FD are surprised too?
For that they would have to (proactively) monitor and react to game statistics. Looking at the BGS over the years, I doubt they do.
Personally, I wasn't surprised to find over 7500 carriers on Inara quite soon after they were released.
And some CMDRs might have two....
[edit CMDRs = the player is what I meant! Sloppy message.]

We can only own one, but our alts are able to own one also.
No way, I'm claiming all the derelict soon-to-be-decommissioned fleet carriers as well, funny names and all.
I wouldn't be terribly surprised if quite a few of the ones bought with 30% off will be decommisioning in the next few weeks. Although with them being less of a novlety now, maybe the new owners have bought them with purpose in mind.
I think Bottom Hat has first dibs.....
I bought one without a purpose really. Threw a load of money in the reserves so it will probably outlast me in this game.
All end game stuff?
My friend, An i mean this in the best possible way. This is just the beginning...
I thought this too when reading the thread. I think a contract of a deal will need to be drafted to deal with this issue.
Peaceful resolutions aren't very Elite Dangerous, are they. The factions in that universe got 99 problems, but violence ain't one.
That is true, but I'm a lover at heart. You only have to look at my avatar to see this.
But I didn't give aisling the soggy bottom.
Yeah, you're lazy allright. Willing to grind 6 billion credits is the definition of laziness.
You're just willing to exchange one "grind" for another. And I'm not sure that's good exchange ratio. Instead of having to fly to your ship when you might need one, which would be once in a while, you're going to grind yourself silly now.
Just do whatever you enjoy doing at the pace you find fun. Fleet Carrier will not make your game suddenly better if you'll get tired of the game loops and bored to death by the grind.
Enjoy your game now, don't plan on doing it sometime in the future.
You can can get between 500 mil and 600 mil per 3 hour session doing pirate massacre missions, though you have to find the right station to work from because the missions do slow down a bit sometimes depending on the states of the differnt factions. It can take a few hours to get the missions, so it's a good idea to have the game running while you're doing other things, just checking every 20 minutes to grab any new missions that spawn so that you can do them all at once.
Ditto.
Thought I'd throw away some of the crazy credit stash I'd accumulated after the hilarioisly bloated payouts for everything sice "Beyond" release.
And over 90% of my credits are exploration income.
Thats insane!Ditto.

Yes it is.
I think earning my first 2 billion took at least twice as long (both in game time and real life time) as earning the surplus 20 billion I had before buying a FC on a whim.
