So I like the idea of having a Fleet Carrier but, I wish I could have an Anaconda or something long range with a small ship (DBX) inside it. Leave Conda into orbit while I take DBX with SRV down to planet surface. Fill the Conda with spare SRV's, fighter bays, repair limpets, amf's, collector limpets, whatever you might need, just in case, and a way to transfer them to and from DBX, maybe land on a planet to do the transfers.... Have the conda equipped with mining lasers, refineries etc. to drop into those countless rings we map, would make stopping at all the fleet carriers, where ever we could find them, meaningful. To have that capability and an FC would open totally new way to explore the furthest edges of the universe?
In short:
FC as a deep space station, Anaconda as a "satellite" and DBX for exploration...
