Make Asteroid Belts (useful) Great Again !....Re-Fleet carriers.

Well, everyone else is posting about them, and one comment I made in another thread seemed to be genius ! Even by my standards. 😂

Make the new unique resource required to re-fuel fleet carriers available only in asteroid belts?!
These belts are used for nothing else and being located close to the main star should work well.

I'm kind of hoping we can take them into asteroid belts/rings and just suck up endless supplies of cheap materials to sell on the market.

I quite like this idea, i have never worked out if asteroid belts had the new mining stuff in them or not if not it gives them a purpose doesnt it.

I'd be okay with such an Option - provided we get some of the old V1.x era "massive Belt Clusters" back.

Any Belt Cluster I've ever entered later was that 5-10 Asteroid one. I remember mining in Belt Clusters what spanned over 80-100km in size and contained Millions of Asteroids.
Never seen those huge Clusters ever again, upon trying to revisit one of the old days I saw that they even disappeared (literally a few missing numbers in the Cluster count).

Another Fleet Carrier thread \o/

I hate the idea.

Defo should only get fuel from cargo holds. Or other players. Siphon Limpets confirmed!

Fleet Carriers should be powered by Flimley Points, obtained by exchanging materials mined in asteroid belts. The type of materials don't matter, it's the fact they are sourced in asteroid belts that gives them an exchange for Flimleys.

The ship's materials in the right panel indicates how many Flimleys have been converted, using the universally acclaimed symbol \o/.

So for example 5 t of bauxite mined from asteroid belt = \o/\o/\o/\o/

Injected into the Fleet Carrier Engine.... you hear "Friendship Drive Charging ......3 .... 2 ..... 1 ....... Hooray !"

That would be awesome and remember, player created content is in th top 1% of all content out there.
Maybe we should rename if to Flimley drive charging ? ....3 .....2 ....1 ... \o/

Maybe the new fuel needs multiple components and synthesis to create?

No doubt, I get the feeling that these things (initially) will be a pain to fuel. However, as the asteroid belts like to pop up in our HUD’s all the time when entering a new system. Let’s at least make them contain some unique resource. And say because local star radiation affects asteroid molecular makeup... or ghosts or robots from the future. Or something Ppffttt.
