CMDR Mad King Hastur of The Yellow Sign, I volunteer my carrier "L'appel du vide" for the cause. I'd like to be parked near any of the permit locked regions for long periods of border patrol, but I'm open to any and all suggestions.
::adds to to-do list::I'm wondering how many people will eventually make a pilgrimage to visit all of the carriers in the array.
For when I’ve completed my current foolishness...

To help plan your deployment operations, I threw together a quick sheet. Numbers are not final until release, obviously, but that can help you give you an idea.
To use it, File > Make a copy.
The green cells are the ones you use, the rest is calculated automatically. The prices are the NEW prices changed like an hour ago in the beta, including the new fuel efficiency.

This is definitely something I haven’t considered... but speaking personally, getting out into space is only half the expedition. The desire for many to return to inhabited space will remain. This means that mining and prospecting remains on the table, only the need to do so won’t be quite as pressing.

I'm already planning to do this. I don't have enough credits to buy my own carrier, so after we have the DSSA deployed and all the mining of fuel is done I plan to visit each of them in turn. That's how I'll earn enough credits to buy my own carrier! Plus the journey sounds terribly fun.

That sounds like the starting of planning for Distant Worlds III
I'm getting excited by this project again. I thought it was great, and then my heart sank when the beta started and we saw the pricing. I figured I'd probably have to drop out of DSSA. But with the changes (if they go live, that is), I'm excited again. Yay!
Now I'm dying to see the livery options.

See this thread for a good idea of what we can expect:
CARRIER LIVERY PORTRAITS
It seems that carriers will have multiple modular elements that can be attached in any form you like. Hope it works this way as they look great!

Oh believe me, I did. And I've flown around to a few of them too. What I'm unsure of is whether those are all livery options, or if there really are 4 variants of the carriers, since the dry-docks only have 4 configurations, with a bunch of different colors. My hope is that they're modular choices, and they just came up with 4 arrangements for the static dry-docks instead of making them all unique.
Well, I'm out of fuel 5206 Ly from my intended destination (no surprise - it was expected). This means when the fuel usage is halved I can easily make it into position just on stored Tritium. Brought along a shipyard, refuel and repair - but no outfitting.
Ended up just over 30k Ly from where I started - not bad.
I guess I now continue by ship to see if there is Tritium in my intended parking spot

Places where to park a carrier:
And not directly related to this initiative, Colonia, selling mining equipment. Well, when I last year arrived in Colonia to unlock the Engineers, there was some essential deep core mining equipment missing, not sure whether that has been fixed...
- AA-A H0 systems, distinct easy to find and to remember (not that I'd suggest to have a carrier in each of those systems )
- nebulae - those always attract traffic
- other sightseeing POIs
- system with high tritium yield - mine and sell to other carriers; don't expect high traffic though bonus points if visitors can buy the mining equipment on your carrier
- systems with lots of synthesis materials, best with geo and/or bio sites

We have that now.
Ship or outfitting packs for the Empire ships, very large A/B-rated sensors, specialist T-10 armour, Corvettes ... everything else is available locally.
just noticed this thread, excellent plan.....still no reason for me to own a FC until upkeep is detached from real time or decommisioning is changed so asset loss while away from the game isn't a thing. But this idea will let me interact with the darn things in a way that sounds cool.
In case it is of interest - Decommissioning my FC 30k Ly out gets me 1.5 Billion back. I don't think this is planned to change, that you get less the further from civilisation you are, so maybe worth being aware:Well, I'm out of fuel 5206 Ly from my intended destination (no surprise - it was expected).
