Perhaps the 5B announcement means they're already planning to reduce them to 2.5B to keep the whiners happy.
I'll be waiting until the fire sale...

I'll be waiting until the fire sale...
I'm wondering if there is a general misunderstanding about Carriers here. They aren't designed to be owned by everyone; they're for your Squadron/Wing/Greedy sod. If there is already some smidgen of talk on them having their own economy of sorts, perhaps pooling of resources could be on the horizon for Squadron ownership. Maybe not, but I'm 99% sure the idea isn't for 100,000 players to have 100,000 carriers....
Dav also handles 'the tick" and BGS stuff ?

You made 3 billion credits between Feb 23rd and March 17th. I'm sure all of that came from the mission board. cough
You can make a billion in a week through wing missions if you know where to look
I understood that the FD would be personal and that it will not be possible to buy it in collaboration with other Squadron players.
I think that's exactly what's going to happen.

Not owning one does not mean you can not be impacted or enjoy some of the features they will bring
Because some people are complaining about the price:
1. It's supposed to be an end-game goal for professional, engaged players. If you want to experience carriers, simply ask someone who has one or play in open. As for my squad, we're gonna have one each on launch day (shameless advertisement for BSD1).
2. If you want to have one, mining isn't hard. It will take you like 36 hours of LTD mining to get one.
3. If you are the type of player who will actually make use of it, you should have the money already. If you simply want the biggest toy you can get, this is not the game for you.
4. You will be able to make some money off of your carrier by selling stuff with tax.

What if I just want to earn money playing the game , and not have to rush to the same spot as everyone else in order to exploit a unique goldrush opportunity?
5 Bil is way too cheap. Should have been 10-15 bil for base and another 3-5 bil for the specialty. Now all the peasants will be flying them too...
Will there be government subsidies for self-employed miners to purchase FCs ?
Yep, given there's no player to player credit transaction system, if a squadron dedicate all their efforts through mission sharing or wings so one of the member can gather enough creds to buy one I assume several of other members will have enough money to buy one too. Unless they implement some kind of "squadron bank" where any member can deposit cash in...
I recently bought my first Cutter, that cost over 1 Billion to fairly (but not totally, yet) pimp out.
I think 5B is about right, i have just under 2B as it stands, so to buy one i guess i am aiming at 8-10B. I don't want to be pottless after i buy it, i will need to upgrade and still have enough for rebuys on my fleet.
Gunna be......Ping. Ping. Ping. (Richer)
AGHH muddy forget this i'm gunna blow up some aliens. (Possibly a bit poorer but certainly happier)
Ping.Ping. Ping....
May the Ping be with you CMDRs.
