i think we should bring back the support vessel for the carrier idea.
With different role and effect.
Example :
Cargo support vessel : increase the size of the carrier storage
Combat support vessel : allow you to hire a npc to wing with you but only stay within the same system (or in a certain LY range)
Mining support vessel : allow miner to refine their mineral and also increase the cargo size of the carrier (less than cargo support vessel)
Exploration support vessel : generate 100t (or less) of tritium per week with a maximum storage of 500. (Tritium can only be transfered to main carrier tank, impossible to put it in cargo to resell) and also allow exobio/exploration data to be send directly to your powerplay faction to earn merits (but you do not get the bonus when sold if you pledged to LYR).
if you have more idea, suggest them
of course, there's would be an upkeep added but hey, money ain't that a big problem nowadays
