Ships Questions about Fleet Carrier

[KelsorStarfire]

I have looked into this but cannot see the answers to these questions. Any help appreciated.

1) The 5 billion to buy cost must come out of one commanders funds? Four of us were thinking of all chipping in, I don't think this is possible?
2) Does the upkeep have to come out of the same commanders funds, or can anyone doc at the carrier and donate money into the ships funds?
3) If we were going to be running out to Colonia anyway, can the others grab passenger missions and then hop on the carrier and complete them?
4) I am guessing the FC owner cant take passenger missions as the FC doesn't have passenger cabins (unless you stay in the ship you board with when 'piloting' the FC?
5) Rough fuel cost to get to Colonia? If I am right its roughly 50 hops at 67 tons of Tritium each time?

These are all a bit obvious if you have done them. Just trying to work out whether to bother, its a bit steep to buy one just to see how it works.

Thanks in advance.

1) Carriers are individually bought and owned.
2) Upkeep comes out of the carrier balance, not the owner’s private balance. The owner is the only one that can freely transfer credits to/from the carrier bank. You can get around this by using the carrier market by someone ”donating” by buying a commodity at a highly inflated price and selling it back at a highly reduced price. However, this requires coordination with the owner.
3) Carriers do not affect missions.
4) Normal rules for switching ships apply.
5) Depends on carrier loadout and cargo.

With an empty carrier you need roughly 3600 tons of Tritium.
With a loaded one it takes more. Up to twice I think.

What affects the purchase of fighters at FC ?
I do not have a shipyard at FC, only repairs. I sold one fighter in the slot, but I can only buy there Taipan.

I have heard this is related to the system you are in, but I have not experimented with it.
