Fdev please let us know

We have about 4 months till the Fleet Carriers are ready to purchase and they are going to be expensive,. I am sure many are eagerly waiting for their release but not sure what the cost will be. Can you give us a ballpark price or maybe not to exceed so we can start earning credits needed. It would be helpful to all to have a rough idea an give us all sometime to Shoot for or Mine for.

I feel a new gold rush coming on, and game activity will rise along with Steam numbers
 
They are not gonna tell us, so don't hold your breath. I'm betting on 9 figures, likely in the low-midrange. Get to mining lads!
 
Just placing a bet here:

basic Fleet Carrier cost: 800.000.000 cr

reason: it will cost more then an A-rated I-Cutter (approx 600.000.000 cr)
 
Less than a billion? Mhmmmm … maybe … I have the feeling they should cost maybe 10 billion. Because I have just 1 billion and that was rather easy to come by by more or less regular exploration.
I actually would prefer a huge pricetag (it's an endgame thing anyway), but affordable running costs.
 
I hope it will be a bit more accessible then my first bet.
Maybe basic Fleet Carrier will be more about 500.000.000 and addtional module will cost on top.

But that's only hoping, 'cause my cash-box never has seen anything close to a billion :D
 
Maybe FDev will decide to up the grind and accept only Pharm Isolators as currency for Carriers. :ROFLMAO:

The basic fleet carrier could perhaps cost about a billion credits, yes. But make the upgrades very expensive, on par with buying a ship and then A-rating it afterwards.
 
I'm going to bet for 1 billion (10^9) as the base price. The modules are going to be very expensive too, so I guess the whole FC idea it will be a simplified "base building" for players, something we could devote hours and hours of gridding to get our perfect carrier.
 
It will be only for the very rich in-game. If the most expensive ship in the game is 147Mcr.,
Most expensive ship is over 208Mcr (assuming no discounts), well over 1Bcr once you start A-rating things. Considering a fleet carrier can house 8 of these ships, I expect them to be at least 10Bcr if not more. I might be a little miffed if they are any cheaper.

I thought the philosophy behind Mk1 Fleet Carriers was that a squadron would pool their resources to buy one.
In that case, I'd assume FDev would price them at, say, Cr20bn or so.

Now they're intended for individual purchase, I guess FDev would have to price them much lower so an individual could, at least, aspire to buy one.

Thing is, FDev have all the stat's for player assets and funds so they really just need to decide whether they should be within reach of, say, the top 25% of players, top 10%, top 5%, top 1% or whatever.

Take a look at any thread about credits, on this forum, and you'll see that there's players who, allegedly, have some pretty hefty bank accounts.
I've seen people claiming to have Cr40bn and more - and that was before VO mining.

I have Cr5bn in the bank and I'm not expecting to be able to buy one. 🤷‍♂️
 
The stock Cutter is something like 210 millions and it can outfitted to something like 1.2-1.5 billions.
I'd expect the FC to be something like 2-3 billions and outfitted maybe up to 10-15 billions. Or, if it will not follow this outfitting model, then i'd expect it to be like 4-6 Billions
