I've clocked over 750 hours and have been an on-and-off player since 2015. I spent the last month powering through exobiology to be able to pick up my very first Drake-Class Fleet Carrier. Absolutely blown away by the amount of complexity to this mechanic and looking forward to kitting it out for its maiden voyage to Colonia.

Oooo shiny! I'm 1.5b away from affording one.

I recommend having at least an extra 1 bil in the bank before you purchase. It has almost nothing useful installed out of the box including no refuel/repair/restock.

I have 4.5b, I'm aiming for 6b which should cover the rent on it for quite a while with the extras. Didn't realise it was so barebones out of the box though.

Here’s a calculator to give you an idea of just how much more you will be sinking into it: https://pilotstradenetwork.com/tools/carrier-calculator/
And if you want a squadron fleet carrier, it’s essentially 5 times the cost.

Dam.. looks like I'll need closer to 8b. I should be able to earn that fairly easy when I get back out to DW3

Do you take passengers? I've never been to Colonia. Where is your carrier, and when will it depart?
otacon239@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 160d
I’ll DM you with details.
