I don't want to have to do that, I just want better range without me having to grind anything. And I want remote fueling.That's why we need to be able to upgrade and engineer them...

Sorry but I agree with the developers when they say that nothing should be given for free in this game.I don't want to have to do that, I just want better range without me having to grind anything. And I want remote fueling.
Fine, but I disagree that fixing them to be the way they should've been from the start is 'giving for free'.Sorry but I agree with the developers when they say that nothing should be given for free in this game.
Right... Do you get a 60 Ly Anaconda without upgrade and engineering?Fine, but I disagree that fixing them to be the way they should've been from the start is 'giving for free'.
Not the same thing. Were you here when FCs were first offered? Tritium was cheap and plentiful everywhere, even Colonia. You could mine it using SSD very fast, as well. Hotspots mattered.Right... Do you get a 60 Ly Anaconda without upgrade and engineering?
If we get the same upgrade and engineering options for carriers then it will be up to each player to chose which ones suits them the best, I fly some of my ships unarmed some without shileds like the Python I use now in CEOS for passenger transport missions.Either remove the guns on the otherwise indestructible platform or give em shields, guns let us freely fly the thing as we can every ship. (Slow boat to China as it may be)
If it gets blowed up, roughly a $250 million buy back plus buy backs for any ships on it.
I was considering to travel even lighter without refuel and redemption office. You think those are necessary?Understanding weights in relation to a carrier is the most important thing for exploration with a carrier.
The heavier the carrier the more Tritium required for each jump so the lighter you can keep it the less Tritium you will need to mine.
The only things that weigh are carrier modules, shipyard and outfitting packs and cargo. Your own ships and spare modules do NOT weigh anything as far as carrier weight is concerned so you can take up to your or the carrier limits (40 ships, 200 modules) without it affecting carrier weight.
I am a single player out in the black and for me Shipyard, Outfitting and Secure Warehouse are not needed, a saving of 5,000t carrier weight and in my case extra cargo capacity if needed.
I carry spare modules that I have never even fitted into a ship (apart from when purchasing them) Various limpet controllers, extra fuel tanks and scoops etc just in case and I have flown back to both the bubble and Colonia in an explorer type ship to purchase and have shipped back to my carrier newer modules that have just become available.
Take a look at my carrier, link in sig, I am both an miner and explorer that spends a lot of time out in the black.
Rearm, refuel svc are necessary for most carrier cmdrs. Redemption office, depends on your own agenda. For mine its not needed.I was considering to travel even lighter without refuel and redemption office. You think those are necessary?
He is right but again it is all about what we want to do with our Carriers.I was considering to travel even lighter without refuel and redemption office. You think those are necessary?
Redemption allows you to cash in the other items sometimes found while exploring ie probe scans and biologicals, refuel is handy, I am a miner so some of my ships are not equipped with fuel scoops and I need to be able to refuel them.I was considering to travel even lighter without refuel and redemption office. You think those are necessary?
My FC is at Wredguia TH-U cq16-20, one jump from Sothis and 2 from you. I’m headed to the bubble in a bit to grab some trit to top off a friends tank while he recovers from surgery. I noticed all but 2 or 3 FC’s in your system need trit. I’ve got room for an extra 600 tons if you’d like me to top off your tank.left Rodentia yesterday at 11:25am and made it to Wredguia WD-K d8-74 near Ceos today at 10:13am, but I used nearly 5,749 tons of fuel for44 jumps, I couldn't go to Ceos for lack of space, too many carriers
Thanks for the proposal!My FC is at Wredguia TH-U cq16-20, one jump from Sothis and 2 from you.

No, Brunel Hub. it's OK there too I suppose.Yep, Your tank will be close to full in about 45min to an hr then.
Are you sure you’re not doing passenger missions at Robigo mines?
Didn’t know you could make 20+ million every 20 minutes there. How cool.No, Brunel Hub. it's OK there too I suppose.
I already managed to cover the cost of the Anaconda.
Thanks a lot!Your FC was at 30% fuel, now your at 98%, so you’re sitting real pretty now.
(You’re Need has given me an idea though)
At Robigo mines my stripped down Python stocked with business passenger cabins (7).
I can turn around every 20 minutes, 18 if I hustle for over 22 million a trip.
Haven’t done that in way over 3 months though. I’m enjoying pulling in a mere 30 million a day making pew pew in CZs, running amuck in the bubble.
I never play open. I don’t sell tritium either. I merely like to donate sometimes. I’m too filthy rich to be greedy.
At your service, Cmdr
A great fast way to get ranked up is in CZ’s . I initially tried fighting thargoid scouts; and while that works, its still slow while you have to look for em and the money stinksThanks a lot!
You're right, there are still ways to make money out there, my solution was to pile up a lot of credit here in CEOS and then get off somewhere with my Carrier but I have been a little disapointed with Colonia, although I don't know all the tricks there, I ended up losing more than I gained for this trip.
Now I can go after the remaining 55% for my Combat ranking to Elite, I'll be posted at Wolf 363 which is the best Bounty Hunting system I saw so far, I might be doing some mining and trading for breaks too.
Once again thanks a lot!
