I know carrier decommissioning returns and service upkeeps have received updates/ tweaks, and I’m thinking of taking a break from the Thargoid content and spend a year or so out in Colonia. I’ve tried this in the past, but the deal-breaker were lack of G5 engineering and A-rated modules…both of which were non-existent back then. So, to get around this issue? I would buy a Sidewinder or Cobra in Colonia, crash it, not accept the rebuy and start back out on Sol and buy a ship that could facilitate the module/s I needed and jump it back to Colonia, then more than likely scrap said ship, wash and repeat. Nowadays, Colonia is a bit more settled. I want to buy a throwaway carrier, do the whole dreadful Tritium thing again, load it with fuel and jump it to Colonia with my 6 or so ships, which consist of two fully kitted Cutters (one of them AX), and two other AX ships…all of which will probably be refitted into other roles, since bugs have no reason to go to Colonia. But I didn’t want to do this if I was going to lose a billion. I tried the carrier thing a few times and didn’t enjoy the Tritium mining grind and insane Tritium prices and shortages. I believe I’ve gotten the full 5 billion back two times and the maybe 3.7 billion back the last time I decommed.
