Role play a pit stop in some remote spot.
"What's that?"
"It's a Fleet Carrier."
"It comes in Carriers?....I'm getting one!"
"You got a whole Cutter already!"

What if these are the pantha clipper
Great point.
I assume (wrongly?) that any Commander able to land at your carrier would be paying you for those services.
SISKO'S TESCO - NOW OPEN AT HIP 281012!!! OPEN 24/7!
Hasn't it been more "closest place to dock to where you died" for a while now ?
Is the free Anaconda at Hutton Orbital going to be replaced with a free fleet carrier?
I would like to buy my unique resource for fuel with Arx points, Z0
A lot of questions. Of course anyone would try or will get one.
1) Customization? Paintjobs? Nameplates? Any way to make carriers look special or unique? For player groups/squadrons/etc?
2) What will they do, except obvious repair/refuel/moving parking platform?
3) Any kind of interaction with carriers except parking?
4) Would those be persistent?
5) Will they move independently or in usual Thursday morning fashion? UPDATE carriers SET location='Lave' WHERE commander_id='3422342342' ?
6) Will they appear right away when bought or will take some time to construct on only few carrier construction systems (that would be too cool) ?
7) Can they be sold so a new carrier type can be bought? (if it's only 1 per CMDR) if so, for 100% of it's cost?
Questions, questions....

Massive amount of players start mining like loons.
FDev cackles and adjusts price accordingly.

And you have made sure this huge ship have something to fight against ? Some mission to take account it size? some other content scaled to its huge size ? i hope frontier also take account this, otherwise the whole galaxy and opposition is even smaller content wise than it is now.

Are they technically ships or stations? This matters since stations have their own physics bubbles and can interfere with other bubbles, see Gnosis at Meene capturing ships on the planet and dragging them along.
Can they be positioned in the system or is it RNG?
If multiple ships want to be in the same system are they instanced together or not?
What purpose will the support ships serve when you get down to it?
Can the unobtanium fuel be mined or bought?
If I don't have perms to dock at another carrier can I still instance with it?

Persistence is easily the most important question. If my squadron can use these as a home base without needing the owner to be online, it would be amazing. If not, I'm nor sure we'd even use it.
Hopefully this is where we see space legs applied. We already have player models, just build a static interior with some modular rooms and let us get put of our ships and meet up. Would also be nice to have our ships in bays ready ala SC. That would take carriers from being convenient stions into a total game changer. Would also sell personal cosmetics, your friends would actually see it.

Yes! This would be cool!!
