So, you're not at the end game yet.
My carrier funds itself.
'yeh but'
No. It funds itself.

No. It funds itself.
I have mine fitted only with advanced maintenance, and is more than enough - everyone can refuel, rearm, buy / sell things, and I never get more than 10 millions / week, or 40 / month, that is, some half billion / year. I have some 10 billions + in carrier funds, 7 k tritium stocked and I will have 3k Painite until next week, before Patch.
I will mine 4 days more, sell all before nerf, and after I will do only do explorer trips and combat, with no worries at all about carrier costs, for the next years...
But what motivate me more is to be able to take your "house" with you and get a trip deep on the Galaxy, independent, with all resources you need, and with all the ships you like, without fear you may need help.
I cannot say, not even by a finger, the carrier costs are high. That thing fund himself, like @Speedcuffs said !
Before to own a carrier, a billion was an astronomical number for me... after I got one, things get, literally, 10x easier.

No it doesn't. At least when you start to move it hard.
It's a joke. I already spent 70k since day1. Current load is 22000, and it is not enough for my aim. I will need to mine 5000 about.
It's heavy time investment.
2 weeks I was doing CG and tradings to collect couple billions.
then about a week to await cheap tritium on stock and load up carrier.
that was all my work. and then I still to pay crew salaries. Hell, they were relaxing all those days, while I was driving galaxy!
I don't get why it should be so.

You mine tritium ?? lol, why you kill yourself, when if you pay attention at INARA you can just buy at 4 k / tone ?!
I bought yesterday 1500 tones and more 1500 today ! For 12 millions, 3k Tritium ! That is just ONE medium Painite rock, of 40-50 % ! JUST ONE. And you harvest that in what, 20 seconds ?
I never mined tritium. Just have enough with you in your carrier. You need more ? just buy more.
Carriers are end game. When you've absolutely grasped how things work despite any nerfs by FDev.
I'm buying my second carrier.
Funded by my first Carrier.
Big shout out to all the Commanders who got the CG Special FSD and helped pay for the 'Arthur C Clarke', and also all the Commanders who helped fuel the 'Larry Niven' and made a nice profit.
Fleet Carrier: End game.

Oh, that was UUUUUU!!
48 hours ago about I had to kill game 40 times! Could only do 7 SC during 2 hrs.
Because I was sooo dumb, didn't turn off EDMC when found 4k tritium. Then 20 carriers start to arrive, each 5 mins new. Spent 2 hrs trying sc.
To answer question - there is no market in "Acheron". Because my point to visit is on limit to spend 22000 and return. I'm sure i will need some extra moves.
How do you use your first FC to fund buying a second FC?
Apologies, no detail. Transfer credits between accounts, like you would between squadron mates.
Inara tells me my carrier is covered for 11 years.
INARA says mine is covered for only 20 years, but I am older than you, so also mine will outlive me
Imagine a world, in the future 117 years, with this game alive and dozens of ghost carriers zooming out of space, the owner long dead, and the new players sometimes calling them "ghost mega ships"

"Pilots are restricted to owning only one Fleet Carrier each..." - so, how this can be ?!
I searched a bit about this subject, all the info I got resume in 2 words: you can't... I am also very curious how he/she did that...or maybe is 1 of April....You can do that??!!
I didn't know you can. Is there any link as to show me how?
Hmm interesting. So my current account has over 8 billion credits, just obtain a free copy of ED form Epic store recently, does that mean if I start a new Frontier account and new commander with my Epic copy, I can somehow transfer some of the 8 billion credits in my current account to this new account? That means my new commander will have a massive head start with plenty of credits already as a Harmless pilot. And would this be considered CHEATING?
I doubt that is possible; How the game will know you are the same player or a different one, since you need separate emails for each account ?
And the fact he/she give no details about, make me believe is a joke.
I did get a second copy for myself, (the free give away) but with another email, and by no means I could transfer credits there. The only thing you can do is to use the carrier from one account to help the second account grind ( i.e., parking him in spots where the fresh, newbie account can use the carrier).
Aside this, I cannot see any other way to get a "second FC" in the same account, since the game says clearly " "Pilots are restricted to owning only one Fleet Carrier each..."
And I fully agree with this restriction, the game is already heavily inflated with carriers, you cannot even get in some systems since they are overloaded with carriers...
Sure can be used also some "tricks" like loading a carrier with Painite ( 3-4-5 k !) , log-out. log with a second account, the new one, then get in that carrier in a T9 and park the whale there. Log out, enter with the account who own the carrier, and setting the sale price at a ridiculous low level, for some 750 tones at a time, log out fast, enter with new account, buy all the painite at that low price and sale the bulk at best price.
Is a workaround to transfer credits, but again - where is the fun then ?....

Two carriers = two times the fun
It would be nice if NPC's paid some of the costs....
