I have waited some time to let it all settle down.
Now though I am wondering how much Fleet Carriers have increased a players CR balance since they bought one ?
Mainly because I am wondering if its better to carry on mining or to switch to fleet carriers to increase earning potential when I return to playing Elite.
I don't need a FC for any other reason than to make credits as it offers nothing else I would need.
Thanks.
In mining it allows you to store mined items untill High value sale day...
So instead of selling at 750K for painite you store it and watch the web sites till a higher price and high demand station shows up...~950K - 998K
This ONLY works if you can play that specific day... If you can not play that day of high sale you have then chucked that high sale chance away.
So this means random casual players with a FC that are not going to get a good pay day as the only days they can play may never have a good pay day...
If other people are in charge of when you can play, (real life issues) a FC for mining is not going to be very good for your mining. As you need to be available for when ever the high stations show up...
With FC you can set up a Buy order to take other peoples Mined items and then sell them at another HIgh sale day but this has the same catch as what you mine, you have to be available when the high price station shows up for the 2 days they are at high price and high demand...
If your not going to be able to play at those specific days then you going to be better off with out a FC... If you can arrange it so you can play any day but limited days per week you can make 200K+ extra per ton by having a FC to store what you and others mine...
Painite is the top Laser mined item..
VO are the top deep core item after LTD got nuke...
All others are lower paying now...
