"Good Evening, Grayson"
Knew you'd know the reference!
Goddammit you guys are going to make me grind so I'm not left the only person in the galaxy without a carrier.I stepped off the fence.
A moment later, Sookie Stardust, my faithful exploration ship landed on her new home, the "Chormondley-Warner (XNL-00H)". The "ooh" bit there was me kissing goodbye to half my bank balance. Still, onwards and upwards and now I can become part of the infestation of the bubble by carriers. Mwahaha.
Not going to have much time to do anything today, so I'll probably just look into getting ships and services loaded. No idea how yet.
It feels quite something actually. A new sense of "W the F do I do now? How TF do I do that?" No idea but it'll be fun times working it out.
(not really, so far I still simply can't justify having one even if I DID have the cash.)
Contrary to projections, no one showed up in my far away system to annoy me, so I was able to explore my new-found Painite spot quite peacefully!
Here's the Cutter taking off to mine in that ring.
Inside the ring, it was a lot darker than I expected it to be.
The hotspot was crammed full of Painite, though, and it was just a single.
I spent 2 hours and came back with 282 tons of Painite, mostly lasered. That's a very good rate for me.
I did find exactly 2 SSDs that had Painite. All other SSDs had low-value junk in them. Next time I won't bother even looking for SSDs when mining Painite. No need!
I'm starting to feel like a genuine void-dweller lately. I like it out here.
PS Congrats Tyres. You're gonna enjoy it.

Erm... so... I want to get some tritium so I can start with this FC business. I understand refinery stations are the places to buy. Is that the first, best bet for me or should I just find a tritium hotspot to mine?
I may have questions on the carrier facet of the game!

If you’re in the Bubble, then yes, buying it is easier, I was getting it at Wolf 324 for 40k a ton yesterday. 8m for 208 ton. That amount will give me a whisker off 3 jumps. Fill your tank to the brim, stick another 500 in reserves. If you’re out in the black, I mine enough to cover the last jump and stick some in reserves, typically I get around 150ton. That way you have a cushion and you’re not a full time miner.Erm... so... I want to get some tritium so I can start with this FC business. I understand refinery stations are the places to buy.

At a refinery station large pads, you do the hauling in your biggest ship. better prices at medium stations means more hauling to fill up.
Cost can look like this. brought some near Sosong.
Tritium 41,204 Cr 5,111t 210,593,644 Cr [ edit- or you could buy a new cutter....
]Nagarlaw ring was good for tritium, no one around really.
If you have a good mining spot within 500ly then you can jump to it
And lastly if you are prepared to pay over the galavg price, make a buy order in your market onboard your FC.
See how long it takes to fill. It should become visible on the galmap as a blue square in your present system.

Cheers CMDRs. I'll get trited up and then prep for my maiden voyage.
Had an hour to play while the toddler napped, so I took a final long, wistful look at the T-10, then traded in the Viper I had been using to collect wake scans for a Dolphin. Got all modules in one go from Meredith Station, so that was nice (I feel like this wasn't always possible).
I spend a little while gathering more surface materials, then left the game at Farseer to start turning the Dolphin into a genuine lava eel. Tomorrow, that is. Not sure how long that will take, but I have way more materials from signal sources this time around.

They don't make things obvious do they? I managed to pick up enough tritium to take the carrer to 100% fuel. I have 8 untis left on my ship. I thought there was a way of stocking up on the stuff so you could store more than your tanks could use. Is this true, or am I missing something (again)?
On the ships right hand panel/inventory/ along the top transfers’. I too had to ask.
Thanks! Got it. Doesn't show up in the tritium depot as a stored "deposit" though, does it? So how can you tell how much you have stashed away?
I use Inara, the commander info is very good. The FC info it presents can help manage the FC.
look in carrier management, the manage market shows qty of store items.
As I can now confirm (got to learn to remember to switch monitor from low-blue-light when playing games).
Or I just use the same transfer tab in the ship and at a glance it tells you what items the carrier has as cargo and how much of each.
Thanks all. I can see it now. Wouldn't it make more sense to have the amount stored shown in the "Tritium Depot" tab? No worries, I'm about to take off. Fuel rats on speed dial.
The depot is basically your fuel tank. I think they separated it because they knew some people would want to sell it and you wouldn’t want to empty your tanks for credits.
I suppose...
Oh well. My countdown has started - a short hop to my favourite painite spot, just to test out this carrier thing and get back a little of my recent spending. Then, I'll be off to seek out a good tritium mining spot and really beef up the coffers. I may even plan a -gasp! - trip to Colonia.
Lots to learn!
