It seems that every time I try to take my carrier somewhere interesting, I get "no free slots" message. Even if the map has no red markers. The more annoying thing is that when this happens, I'm kicked out back to carrier management menu meaning I'll need to navigate to the target again if I want to try again. Last system I couldn't warp into was Klikis.
So I'm thinking.
What if Carrier could go to solo mode. Meaning it will no longer be visible in the open, would effectively only exist for the commander, will disappear for other people, but will not be subject to slot restrictions anymore? I mean a lot of people probably aren't interested in group aspect. I think if this was available, number of clutter carriers would drop. Perhaps this would only work in solo mode and to make it appear in open, commander would need to switch it to "open mode" again.
And failing that... maybe there could be some sort of carrier dumping ground which always has slots? An inconvenient location in the system, which is better than nothing.
