I have the money, but will wait until I hear some experiences with it.
Haven`t played since February, so I feel a bit too rusty to take step just now.

No, not for me, and anyway I'm a bit short at the mo.
Wingnuts might have one?
As excited as I was by my vision of fleet carriers in Elite, I was equally disappointed by the reality.

Well I regret I missed playing the Beta. I`ll try to catch up viewing some videos on Youtube. I am so tired of grinding that I will try to spend my credits wisely. Anyway, we have a heatwave here now, so it I am not tempted to spend hours in the game just now. Well heatwave is relative. We scandinavians don`t use aircondition so it`s nearly as warm inside as outside. I contemplate buying a mobile AC every year, but the heat is over before I make a decision. Short summers.

With the mining goldrush and everyone want to stock up on the credits, I see several FC Cmdrs ferrying from the Col 285 Sector CC-K A38-2 1 sector to wherever the hot buy station is that day. From my few experiences, they're doing alright. Seems like riders are donating Tritium or LTD's for the ride. One LTD is 1.6 million, so it doesn't take much/many. Open gets exciting though since it's like chumming the water with the loaded ships coming into the station to sell. You've got to know where you're going and be ready to be pulled out of SC to make it to the station with all your cargo/life. It's a nice break from exploring on my alt account. Not sure if I'll get a FC at this point...not sure if I need it right now... one acct out exploring and a couple of accounts around the bubble doing different things.

I’ve one. Been using as a mobile port and storage facility. Still sussing out the overall utility of it. I can say that I don’t regret the purchase. With no new ships on the horizon, what else is there to spend the geld on.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck.” -Robert Heinlein

Bo has a carrier?
What did you name it?
I should log in and check it out. Haven't played Elite in weeks.

With no new ships on the horizon, what else is there to spend the geld on. I have the same sentiment. My uber super duper combat ship - Fed Corvette (fully engineered) My uber super duper mining and cargo ship - Type 10 Defender (fully engineered) My uber super duper "travel in style" ship - Imperial Cutter (fully engineered) My uber super duper exploration ship - Asp Explorer (fully engineered) My Anaconda, Python and Krait Phantom have been in mothball status for a long time now.

Wigean, As I haven’t a clue how the FC trading works, I’ve only a buy order up for Tritium. Only made about 300k in the few weeks since the purchase. According to the ED forums, there are commanders making some serious coin trading with them.

I still have to read me up on the "howto`s" on this module as I want to be prepared if there are any chances to lose big money. :-) I might try it in the week-end.

D, I christened her “Angband” the day I picked it up at Skeggiko O. The fortress of Morgoth?

Thanks for the info. I`ve got around 6 billions to play with, so I guess there is not much of a risk. Plus I have quite a few ships spread around. I could make some good credits if I sell them.
Have you experienced attacks on your FC? Or is that not possible at all? Too busy watching soccer games these days. There are games almost every night because of the Corona pause. I`ll see if I manage to have a go at it tomorrow.
