I heard about a guy once who made the run in less than 12 parsecs.the FC gets closer each run
Really no Tritium in Colonia?

It seems that some people mean "cheap" when they say "easily available".
Tritium is easily available in the Sol bubble, it just ain't dirt cheap, whereas it isn't easily available in the Colonia bubble, and is even more expensive as a result.
To me, this makes sense when you consider how Tritium reserves are arrived at in Colonia (smaller population) vs how many FCs are competing for this scarce resource there.
Also, for those who pull their nose up towards the 50k price tag - that's a bit like buying a supercar and complaining about the running costs. Come on. Stop being a cheapskate, alternatively if you can't afford the fuel you can't really afford taking a FC on extended journeys around the galaxy.

This is perhaps one of the funniest comments - seeing as how many folk were 'cracking the egg' to get billions to buy.... Oh yes, a Fleet Carrier!
Nice one, good sir
(I'm not suggesting you mined to buy yours, as I didn't either)
As soon as I get my AX ship close to finished and relocated to where the action is, I'm going to camp out at a double trit overlap and cram the FC full before heading out to Colonia just for this reason. I'm only making the trip to haul the rest of Biff's fleet out there and plan on selling the trit all off but enough to get back to the bubble. I don't really see the need for a FC out in the region anyway at least for me personally for the time being.
If I get ran out of Centralis I'll just go live on one of Ratty's carriers

as far as I am concerned: I need some vacation now, by doing some relaxed mining from those many missions making millions the last weeks before. Three Tritium here, four Bromellite there...thatĀ“s the way to go...
As far as I can tell from the various posts about the subject, the best way to do this is to have two carriers. One that has H3 for sale on arrival and the other, a lightweight carrier with no additional modules, file to the brim with H3 to refuel the first carrier for the trip back.So hauling Tritium to Colonia is still a thing ?
At least until FDev allows commanders to limit the sell orders.
I bet that is done by those, who name their fc after the H3....;-)
That would be the best solution I think, but... FD, you know... ;-/
My preferred solution for now would be some Type-9 "fueltanks" on board, each one holding an additional 758 tons Tritium (with shieldgenerator).
You don't need the shield generators. Get your Alt-accounts or friends to save a suitable cargo rack at a nearby station. Arrive at the carrier in a T9 with shield generators and a full H3 load. Store the shield generators, transfer and fit the cargo rack and buy H3 from the carrier to fill up full. Then you use whatever tanker you are using to top up the carrier then load up your own T9 similarly and put out a buy order to fill the remaining space in the carrier and you're done.
Tedious, but doable.

IMHO :
What the Colonia region needs as an uncomplicated fix for the broken and vastly insufficient Tritium supply are a few Tanker-Class MegaShips.
These can get an arbitrary supply and restock rates.
Short of constructing a dozen new Refinery Stations there, that would seem an appropriate and somewhat realistic quickfix requiring only minimal effort.
PS.
I would have liked to make the Colonia area a pitstop place - however the lack of Tritium makes it an invalid location for any such plans.

yes you are right. No Tritium here at Colonia. Please all who share this opinion....go back to bubble and to be able to do this: make a full buy-order about 250K/ton...
I will help you to go back as fast as possible.
and no: it is not broken and needs to be fixed. It is more fun and needs more knowledge of the game to get the things you want up here. To get Trit in the bubble is a boring, easy and simple thing. It is lame. It is not even anything. It is just there.
Up here...it is not a matter of watching some Youtube-Videos to grind whatever credits, Anacondas...anything. It is not a place for those masses of players sitting in docks, making billions by grinding the newest meta and still are not able to fly.
Everything is fine in Colonia. There is more than enought Tritium up here. I donĀ“t want it to be like in the bubble. I am here, because it is NOT like in the bubble. I like it that way. A lot of Colonians love it like it is. It is simply allright!
Commanders who donĀ“t understand the game...stay in the bubble. And keep watching the newest "road to riches"....make your money, get all your ships, your FC...and then leave and play something else...
no offense...

Hey that's cool.
If you want the entire Carrier population of Colonia to be forced to mine Tritium all day unless they wish to remain stationary - have it your way. I know how to get Tritium and I don't need Colonia.
If you think of me as an "EZ Money" guy that watched Youtube and demands "Instant Gratification" because "I don't understand the Game" though.... you literally have no idea who I am lol
Come now, a Fleet Carrier that is resident in Colonia could probably go a very long time just on the 500t supplied on purchase, many seem to be moved very little (more an ornament than tool) and could be topped up with Tritium with minimal mining needed...
Anyone using Colonia as a stopover has plenty of choice (I saw many carriers selling Tritium in my jaunt around the region earlier tonight) to buy, just not a cheap as the bubble.
'Over-egging the cake' as little, methinks, but suitably dramatic a statement.
To be frank, if the owners are truly 'stuck' (which we know they aren't, really as there is plentiful Tritium to be had for a little effort) perhaps they should decommission, suicide back to the bubble, rebuy, stock fully and carry on their merry way... That works well too... if they are a little short of funds, a FC assists greatly in raising large amounts of credits very quickly, suitably outfitted, of course.

I bought my carrier after the rebalance brought tritium quantities in Colonia to the current amounts. I'm now with my carrier in the bubble so it is possible with patience.
I'll be flying it back after buying 10k and this will be plenty for Colonia and back, should I wish to have another bubble trip.

No, I donĀ“t think you are one of those guys. But nevertheless and with all respect to a experienced commander: it is not about "all forced to be mine Trtium". Up here is a well working player-based supply of Tritium.

I didn't mean to totally crash the "Carrier Tritium sales" market if you mean that.
But having (as of this Moment) a total supply of 58 tons of Tritium from Orbital Refineries in the entire Colonia Sector is a fundamental and structural problem. Doesn't get any more obvious than this.
I like the megaship tritium shop idea, it doesn't have to be in Colonia (although it would be a logical place to put them if there was only one place). Somewhere outside the bubble that sells Tritium in carrier fuelling quantities without having to rely on other players' carriers.
