Fleet carrier discount.

A fleet carrier changed the game for me. No more ships and modules scattered around, somewhere to dump loads of stuff until I need it, move all my ships at once, huge profits from trade... can't go wrong.

Now I'm helping a friend get theirs, and I can't find the exact cutoff date for the discount. I'm hoping it's not the server reboot time, which is right now, because she's still short a few hundred million.

That's a relief, got the funds for a carrier and the modules I need, and just doing a few more Robigo runs to build a float for trit, upkeep and other expenses. I'll pop over to Alcor this evening and pick one up.

I'm new to FC. How to make these highly profitable deals with a carrier?

I'm not new and I still can't get an answer to this from other owners.

Though maybe it's just because the only answers I did get didn't satisfy me as they seemed like just doing the normal trading stuff, but with a few less hyperspace jumps.

Basically, fill your carrier with a good at a cheap place, jump it to an expensive place, then unload it.....

Just feels like normal trading to me though.

It was cheaper than I expected, maybe triple elite discount or founders discount or both?. Got all the services I want for now, installed, but it was a rush as it was immediately scheduled to jump to Mizar. Now I just have to give it a name and figure out how to name it

That's one way of making a mint.
The other is good old fashioned mining. Because you don't have to sell right then and there, you can dump it in your carrier and wait for a better price.
Alternatively you can set your carrier to buy somewhat under price, platinum for example you buy for 260k and wait until you can unload for 280k. Some miners prefer to sell for some quick cash vs flying to the bubble for a better price as time is money or their own carrier might be parked somewhere further away and they just want to mine now and not jump their carrier to the mining spot.
I've done the buying myself too, requires a fair bit of a float though. Plus you need to monitor it too, you don't want your carrier to run out of funds.
