Is membership of squadrons a neccessary pre-requisite for ownership of a fleet carrier?

Pretty much what it says in the title,really. Except, i suppose,if the answer is yes,what hurdles would i have to negotiate to form and maintain one?
Thanks in advance.

Technically no but it was changed before and can be changed again, especially as they have not even been added yet.

FD say no, but even if they change their minds and require it, any individual player can set up (or disband) a squadron of their own in just a few clicks. Costs 1M Cr (I think) each time you create one. You don't need to do anything to maintain a squadron.

From the beta patch notes:

Added supply and demand volumes for certain, high-end minerals. Now, trading goods such as Void Opals is more realistic; markets can still offer a high buy price, but they will offer less as demand is met. As part of this change, these high-end minerals will now be demanded more by specific economy types. This change will affect the following commodities:
  • Alexandrite
  • Benitoite
  • Grandidierite
  • Low Temperature Diamond
  • Monazite
  • Musgravite
  • Painite
  • Rhodplumsite
  • Serendibite
  • Void Opal

Yikes, my favourite mining spot might dry up. Better make the most of it while it lasts!

I don't think it is so much a 'nerf' as making 'sense' of demand - a player may still be able to sell at a 'premium' price, but have to look around a bit more for best prices, much like we already have to do to realise highest profits. It sounds as if we all will have to keep 'our fingers on the pulse' of the markets a bit more.

It would be very interesting to see how the galaxy would evolve if the markets were actual supply/demand based. What stations would dry up (hello 20 min in supercruise stations) and which would thrive.

Oh, and no. So far as we know you don't have to be in a squadron to have a fleet carrier. As fleet carriers are delayed to an indefinite period of time we don't know much else.

That would be so good! My alt frequents his 'home' system and a couple of 'local' ones in a 'trade triangle' on a regular basis, biowaste from base to an Agri, food to a Hi Tech and Hi Tech to base, doesn't earn millions but 'feels' like I'm looking after my own interests.
Having a 'real' economy could make my trading very interesting!
