People who have been playing for years and/or power gamers: 5bn isn't a big deal
People who are casual players or new: 5bn is massive
Both are valid tbh

You can only make 100 milion cr per hour doing a single activity (mining). If you want to actually play the game and have fun with other activities you can forget it... And this because the game economy is a complete disaster!
When I started ED in the KS Alpha, I remember my brain computing the Anaconda cost. Flash forward to now and I have those same thoughts, as well as more ear hair.
5 billion credits, huh?
Guess I didn't want to check these out anyway. , 5 billion??
I've been playing for 3-4 years now and have never even broken 100 million because I don't have the time to make this game a full time job.
I guess these aren't meant for people just playing the game and are instead meant for the crackheads who do nothing but play this all day everyday.
You coulda put them in a stupid lootbox and I'd have felt less like this update was just not meant for me to ever enjoy. Sucks too, because it sounds awesome.

It's not really surprising given that we scoop hydrogen for fuel and hydrogen has three natural isotopes, one of which is tritium.Yes. Isn't it interesting how they're choosing the same ones for the same purposes? Must all be a coincidence.
Nah, wing massacre missions do that amount, too.
But only in a coordinated wing. But it's possible. Propably even more in the right circumstances.
Boy. 5 billion. Ouch. I guess I'd better dust off my HOTAS and get to grinding.
After 2 years of playing at least 3 times a week, I've got 1.4 billion in the bank... and that includes several sessions of VO mining back, just to make money - I admit I never went at it in a dedicated "I-Think-I'll-Watch-Netflix-Whilst-I-Spend-3-Hours-Mining" sort of a way, but I still thought I'd made a nice little wad of cash.
I've no interest in interacting with other players, so I play in Solo.
With FCs costing about 4 times what I gained in 2 years of enjoyable gaming at a level I thought was reasonably realistic for some space traveller, I'm not going to be able to get one. Unless I suck it up and go and do whatever activity makes a load of cash for a few hours, which frankly, doesn't sound like fun. It was tedious enough hunting VOs, (though great fun actually blowing the rocks up).
I would have liked one to carry my little flying circus of ships around easily, rather than having them scattered about the bubble, but they're definitely not aimed at players like me. They seem more aimed at squadrons with multiple players who like the MMO aspect. Which I can understand, but I can't say I'm not really rather disappointed about it.
Oh well, back to enjoying myself in other ways For those who can, enjoy the Carriers; they look cool.

For those who can, enjoy the Carriers; they look cool.I hope they will drop the price though. I've never played the game focusing on credits and in fact it took me 5 years to get 2 billion (ships excluded).

No, you can't buy useable in-game items
Is this from a press release, or their interpretation?
Press Release recent news | page 1 of 595 | Game Developer

edit - pcgamer uses the same persistent debt that eventually exceeds the debt threshold could see carriers decommissioned and sold for parts language, so must be from a fdev press release. Interesting.
What happens to the ship on board. will you loose complex expensive and time consuming engineered ships or will they go to a location nearby?!
Can I permanently loose my rare 101million dollar corvettes from this?
The price of low temp diamonds is gonna fall through the floor
Perhaps a rescue ship jumps nearby and you can call Operation Ida to fix your carrier
