Fleet Carrier off my list/time to explore
14 Feb 2022Swarthos
After giving much thought and consideration as to whether or not I want to continue earning credits toward the purchase of a Fleet Carrier, I have decided against it for the following reasons:I can jump further, faster and with no fuel cost using my engineered Anaconda. (That is the primary reason I have for not purchasing a Fleet Carrier). Any Fuel star will fill my tanks for free. You get a single 500 ly jump with a Fleet Carrier that then it requires a 5 minute cooldown and a 15 minute power up before the next jump, 20 total minutes every 500 lys. I can literally go 500 ly's in 8 jumps at just under 8 minutes refueling on the go over and over again far outpacing any Fleet Carrier. (Also upkeep cost/Tritium mining or purchasing, expensive/tedious unless you have good CMDR's along for the ride) I'm a bit of a loner as it stands..
While it would be nice to haul more than one of my ships across the galactic map, it just isn't that important. After all, am I going to take a mining ship to Beagle Point when I can mine anywhere in the Bubble? Makes no sense. Going into deep space is for exploring and all I need for that is one well built, well stocked ship that jumps decently.
I'm not knocking the guys who own one. I'm glad you do as I have enjoyed hitching a ride on a few here and there, they're just not for me.
So I'm currently on my way to Achille's Altar and beyond using my Anaconda. I hope to explore the outer rim of our galaxy and make new discoveries along the way.
