It's one of the best ballanced games in the market, people make assumptions and complain about what everyone else has to do to get theirs, so everyone wants the same services than a FC, can they afford them without having to "work" for it? Would you like to pay REAL money for your assets and their upgrades?
How many cutters costing 208,969,450 Cr each stock do you dock on a Fleet Carrier? 8 X 208,969,450 Cr = 1,671,755,600.
Proportionality is just one reason for the Fleet Carrier cost and I don't read anyone complaining about a stock Cutter's cost, then don't tell me that stocking your mining is gonna make you richer faster than not spending what your Cr into cosmetics, mine is stock and white...
Sure, this is not a job but it's no reason for some to call consistently for leveling it from the bottom because some players are too lazy to do what it take to get one, for your info, "It's not a job" goes for everyone esle, I spent hundred of hours transporting tourists to get mine, you don't read me whinning about it or the cost of Tritium.
That's one thing, now we read the same argumentation about what we have to do to get the material necessary for engineering, players will always complain and try to change the game instead of going through the same processes than everyone else, do you have any idea how many attempts it took me just to be able to get a Guardian Module Blueprint?
This game is already EASY to play, those challenges are not hard to face when one really wants to get what they want "it's not a job" is not an excuse, on the other hand I can understand that some players doesn't spend as many hours than other in this game, but it is still not a reason good enough to make it easier for them.
An Escort Class Carrier like the one proposed here would be a solution, like getting a Type 7 instead of a Type 9 because one can't afford it, I have no problem with that, what I have a problem with is the argumentation used to promote the idea.
