What if when you buy the DLC, a really fat bloke comes round and kicks you in the balls?
What if the only way to buy a fleet carrier is to sell your children into indentured servitude?
What if fleet carriers are made of bromellite and you have to mine enough to build the hull?
If you have to moan at all, at least moan about stuff that's actually happened.

Since we're already having Jumprange discussions....
Well heck, why not.
On the "all ducks are grey on the dark"
Well heck, why not.
- HyperDrive Grade 5 anyone?
- Carriers can Defend themselves I've read... So would you rather have vanilla unengineered Weapon loadouts - or an Engineered Custom Weapon loadout?
- Cargo space should be a thing... So if someone is unhappy with x.xxx tons Cargo Space - why not go Cargo Grade 5 on it and slap on some Cargo Modules.
- Multirole Carriers I hear you say? Might benefit from some Engineering, so you get the best out of all services.
- if they can be flown from a Bridge (speculation/unknown).... I'm sure someone will lament "Oil tanker agility!" and seek Grade 5 on the Engines

What? You don't feel like grumbling about a hypothetical grind related to something that isn't in the game? What's wrong with you, Red? I suppose you're going to keep up with this madness by suggesting that it's impossible to have content that's free of anything repeatable, thus ensuring that the cycle of grind complaints will never end, because all gameplay is technically a grind. Get a hold of yourself, man!
Oh my... That is a very controversial opinion, very. Almost of development companies do solving problems and updating contents at same time. And I am sure that there will be always same amount of problems in ED whether fixing that NOW or not. I think programing is not simple minus and plus. So I would rather have old problems and new contents both than only old problems.

You'll find out soon.
I don't care. I just want my carrier. Engineer stuff can be done on the side like I always did. I don't care if it takes a year or two.
I'm quite sure I've read in some announcement that you can engineer a FC.
I also fear that the fleet carrier won't only be expensive, but also locked behind a grind-wall. Its aquisition AND its maintenance. Though I think (hope?) OP is slightly exagerating.
And all this is only useless tinfoiling, we'll know when we will know, aka Beta release. Seriously, what are such threads even for? Do you think FD will read it and overthink their plans with regard to what theories the community is making up?

Possible, there were a bunch of engineers named that have still to appear. (the ones in bold subsequently have)
I don't see the point of fleet carriers really. I'd play solo anyway and it's going to be hell of annoying to maintain one I bet. I'm not gonna buy anything that just puts more grind into the game - it's annoying as it is already.
Those who seek controversy will always find it.
They're engineer engineers. They upgrade the engineers you engineer with with engineering supplies.
Unfortunately, they'll also find an audience too
That only would invite facts to get into the way...
@OP, I like the idea, sounds like something to do in game, which is always welcome

if it comes with some C1 goodies i wont mind.
Construct your own 1500 part fleet carrier Lego style, parts available from Hutton Orbital (one per visit).
I think the next question will be how are you gonna dock your fleet onto the fleet carrier since you can only fly one ship at a time. For instance, you park the carrier outside the station where your other ships are stored, since the carrier is too big to enter the station. How then are you gonna transfer your fleet to the carrier if you are the one piloting the carrier? Unless you call the ships to the carrier and pay for an NPC to bring it, right now that would be the only way I suppose unless they introduce a new way of teleporting to and from. Or you can have a small shuttle that it is only large enough to carry the pilot that he can then fly to the station, then pack the shuttle onto your other ship that your are going to dock onto the carrier. Then unpack the shuttle to get another ship.
Would also be feasible that such a large ship like a carrier would require an NPC crew to man all the stations on it. It would be totally unrealistic to just have you, the pilot, on the ship. Which I would not mind being able to manage an NPC crew, train them up to have them perform their jobs better, to man the defenses whenever I'm off the ship...etc. Wouldn't even mind the cost of upkeep, since I have plenty of credits as it is and nothing to really spend it on. Maybe require you to travel around to different locations looking for specific crew to hire. Lets face it, the grind is here to stay, so lets at least make the grind that we're gonna have to do...mean something.
