Fleet Carriers can not only be used to help one's self and one's friends, but also to help new players.
I think it would be great if the SPEAR, EDR and other carriers were able to help new Commanders with the Engineering Grind by providing some of the commodities that certain engineers need like meta alloys, kamitra cigars, fujin tea, etc. An Engineers Unlock Bank as it were.
We need more PvPers...of all kinds. In order to PvP, grade five engineers to Palin is necessary... and an unnecessarily soul-sucking experience.
Should any of us find ourselves in a station that sells engineering unlock materials, be sure to buy some of these essential rares and donate to a carrier of your choice?
New PvPers should be spending their time learning combat skills and FA off. Not going 5000ly to nowhere, not waiting for a timer so they can buy more trinkets for an engineer. It took me years and thousands of hours in combat to get to the point where I am comfortable PvPing. It is a significant committment to master Elite's flight model. Let's help and honor those who are willing to try.
