Newcomer / Intro Operating the Fleet Carrier without on-foot?

[Spiridon]

Hi all,

Not exactly a noob here, but with a long break from the game. Very long break.

I have more than 30 billion and would like to buy a FC for stocking up and moving Colonization materials.
I play alone, no need to open up FC to anyone.

1. Do I have a hangar for me only, my ships, in an initial package? If so, do I have to purchase extra Repair, Refuel and Outfitting for my modules?
2. Do I already have a storage for building materials (Iron, CMMs etc), or do I need to purchase cargo space too?

and the most important:

3) I don't want to do any on-foot stuff, no walking. Can I operate switching ships, storing and retrieving commodities, purchasing and refueling Tritium, only these basic stuff, from the cockpit of my ship by entering various menus left 'n right, or do I need to go out and walk to find a room with these services?

Thank you.

You can set access to only your, friends, squadron as you wish*.
You get a hangar to store your ships, but need to add Repair, Refuel and Rearm to keep your ships 100%. If operating in the bubble this is just convenient.
You can transfer your existing modules to the carrier along with ships.
Your carrier has cargo space to store commodities.
Yes you can do everything from the cockpit of the ship that you are in.

* You can set buy orders for commodities such as tritium or colonisation materials so that other CMDRs will deliver to the carrier for a price.

You can also walk to the carrier's bridge to watch the jump from there.

Hope this has answered your questions.

P.S. If you have just returned, have you gathered any Titan drive components or Propulsion elements from the Titan debris fields?

Thank you so very much, you did answer all I wanted to know.

PS
I haven't just returned, came back half a year ago after at least 5-6 years... left at the time Odyssey came. Yes I have been to Titan debris fields, made 6-7 FSDs they are great!

The only thing I have to do on foot on my carrier is visit Vista Genomics to sell exobiology samples but as that is an on foot activity it probably isn’t an issue for you..

In addition to the facilities mentioned you can add a redemption office to deal with Codex items.
