ill sell you 12,000t of Tritium at 50cr per Ton... I do need a set of C1 seismic charges to cover the sales tax though...

Just sold my pair of C1 seismic charges on your carrier, but it still won't let me buy the Tritium at 50cr, not even one ton. I could understand that me trying to fill the hold of my eagle is a bit much, but I do feel like I was tricked here. Even worse, since I waited to long it won't even let me rebuy my sold charges. Looks like the 'roid 'sploding days in my eagle are over. I guess I have to fly to
since when does outfitting being sold go into a carriers outfitting?
edit: tested it. it works, but only with c1 seismic charges!
Is that the best way to get rid of those things? They're hogging all my module storage and I've got no use for them.
A jolly in the black with your FC could easily use 10k of tritium... Which is 500 mil worth... (Half a billion as the OP stated).
Tritium doesn't cost anything if you rig out a miner and head out for one of the thousands of icy rings with tritium hotspots. If you don't want to do that then no sense complaining just be prepared to pay the price for it?.
I have a limitless supply of free Tritium just one jump away.
(but then, I read the notes about FC owners needing to mine for the stuff!)
I actually find the Tritium for FC threads hilarious.
I don't know how many of the current owners mined 'the egg or similar' to raise the funds to buy... But everyone, if they were interested, could have read the announcement (in forum and Newsletter) for them and noted a probable requirement to mine...
I didn't raise the funds for my first by mining, nor my 2nd - but mining for fuel, when outside of the comfy bubble is a reality... And raising fund to buy when in the bubble is simple too

I am mining my way slowly back towards Colonia, having so far collected a few K of goodies such as Platinum, Osmium and Painite.Colonia lost a great deal of its tritium life line now the cheap stuff is gone
The question is will it be more worth my time arriving with a full hold of goodies or Tritium?
Well, there is no tritium reserve in Colonia. It is for sale, but you won't find any...I am mining my way slowly back towards Colonia, having so far collected a few K of goodies such as Platinum, Osmium and Painite.

I've been selling tritium to carriers buying the stuff for 100k/t. So I bought the stuff for 4k/t in the bubble and jumped it over to Colonia to sell it there and still made a huge profit with what I had left. I can't guarantee this situation will remain, FD is still tweaking, but if it does then yes, it would be better to focus on tritium.

i was helping filling a DSSA carrier in colonia by mining painite, selling it, and buying tritium of FCs.
this wouldn't work anymore with painite.
but any core mining commodity, plus osmium and platinum will still exceed the "usual" tritium prices of FCs in colonia of those unsung heroes selling for 100k/t.
No I sold to those unsung heroes for 100k/t, no idea what they sold it for.

That's how I see it too.
I haven't needed to buy Tritium for ages so I thought I'd go find some last night.
As a complete lightweight, I just looked at EDDB to find the cheapest place - where they had a supply of about 60t - went there, bought a couple of loads of ~60t and then thought "why am I bothering with this???"
Went back to EDDB to find the places (with large-pad facilities) that have the best supply, looked down the list to find a decent price, went there and loaded up several thousand tonnes.
The difference between the cheapest price and an okayish price is about Cr4,000.
That's Cr4m extra (per 1000t) for the sake of saving yourself a couple of hours schlepping back and forth, loading up 50t at a time.
I can recover that by spending 15 minutes running a couple of missions, doing a bit of mining, blowing stuff up or ferrying a couple of passengers around.

Yes, I'm starting to fuel a new Carrier (so I'll be needing around 23,000 tons) at a station that has a stock of over 100,000t, at a little more than 50k/t. There are small amounts available for a bit less, but I can't be bothered. None for the old 4k/t deal, so I can't save much by scavenging.
Tritium should be at 200k per ton. Because I want it that way ;-)
Because it's a consumable fuel, and making fuel expensive is just to get around is stupid. "Yes, let's belabor a very simple process because that will make people play our game."
I could care less what you were told. Fuel being expensive doesn't make for compelling game play, especially since it takes one hour of money ore mining to pay outright for fuel it takes 8-10 hours to mine, beyond stupid. And this is especially true now that they've nerfed mining while leaving the PWA a broken mess.
It should be cheap, and be plentiful to mine, it's the only mined commodity in the game the players actually consume instead of use for credit earnings. The problem is Fdev didn't design their mining system around the consideration that what's mined might actually be consumed instead of sold.
Fdev needs to change the mining mechanics around them so the hotspots themselves are harder to find, but plentiful when you find one. A bit like Oasis in the desert, you can drink your fill, and if you're fastidious enough, you can map out the Oasis on a chart and map and thus map the desert itself.
If Fdev wants to encourage people to get out of the bubble with their carriers, they need to think about it in terms of migrant caravans of the old Persian empire. Travellers moving their wagons around from town to town, village to village, and oasis to oasis. And what will happen entirely on it's own through sheer player behaviour, is people will start dotting around the galaxy and spread out.

Is there a type of economy that is the best to sell to? Or is it just RNG?
