All that has been said is, “a large amount of credits”.
Honestly I'm kinda expecting in or around a billion. But only because it will prevent me from being disappointed. . . God I hope so. Jesus, can you imagine?
Also I expect certain groups of players will use their carriers to form a interstate of sorts between the Bubble and Colonia since ships can rearm, repair and refuel at a carrier.
Considering it costs about a billion to buy and gear out the top end ships currently, I'm thinking fleet carriers are gonna cost closer to 10 billion.

Nah, nah, nah. It will require you to get six different rare elements and then complete six steps to create the fuel. However each step of the process will require you to fly out to meet six different people at opposite ends of the galaxy. But not before you've attained the appropriate rank with each person.
And you will not be able to carry a surplus of fuel and must complete the above process every time you need refueling.

If the carrier costs mirror ship costs, I wouldn't be surprised if the baseline carrier is 1 billion or even a few hundred million, while the carrier upgrades ballon the total price into the multi-billion credit range.
Something like that should be expensive. Very expensive. But also Tube is right; Frontier will want people to be able to get them. Frontier also seems to consistently misjudge player's willingness to metagame. I just don't know what to think.
For myself, seems like a way to move all my ships at once. I'm not sure that's really something I need to do very often.
I'll still want to buy one, of course. Because it's shiny.

And carrying the fuel to your carrier will immediately flag you for interdiction by every single pirate in the system as soon as you spawn into an instance.
It'd be nice to have an option where squadrons can amass funds to buy so it's not just one person paying.
You mean group ownership of the carrier or just a quick and easy way to transfer credits between players in a wing? Because the group ownership of something this valuable is a can of worms.
Shut up, Mr. Burton! You were not brought upon this world to get it!
I haven't played in a few years, but that video has me really hyped.
I have a kind of junky joystick at the moment. Thinking I'll upgrade to something with many more buttons and smoother handling. Does anyone have any suggestions for a mid-range hotas?
Mid-range can be kind of relative. What's your junky joystick? I think Thrustmaster's T16000M HOTAS is considered a good value, with or without the throttle.

Yeah around this price point I think. Like $200 CAD or less would be ideal, which I think the T16000 seems to be the best option.
I am a bit curious about how much freedom of movement that we'll have with the fleet carriers since IIRC we can't pilot them directly.
Worst case for me will be that we can tell it to go to a specific system but we won't have freedom to control where it is within the system. Best case is that we can summon it to our location like we can summon our ship from our SRVs, so that we can either call for it to pick us up if there are no other carriers present in the instance or so that we can at least precisely position it near a point of interest.

From what the trailer showed it looks like you can pilot the carrier just like any other ship. It even showed the Mercenary one blowing up enemy ships.

Can you link me to that bit, because the only ship that I recall getting blown up in the carrier teaser video was an eagle getting blown up by a courier.
I bought myself the Thrustmaster T16000M. wow I like it a lot. Such a huge upgrade over the junk I was using before.
Also finally played for the first time in a few years. Last I played the Thargoids weren't really in the game and the mining/exploration patch hadnt' gone in. I really like the new mining. It's peaceful, and fun, and very profitable! I found two asteroids that I could seismic charge and made about 2mil a piece on them. All without leaving the system I was in.
Got me Horizons in this sale and started playing after a 2 year hiatus.
Looks like I own an AspX and I just fitted it for good ol' fashioned long-range explorin'. Already did a trip that netted me a few million. Looks like exploring finally pays off.
Also got started with the Engineer that fixes the drives, so that I'll get some extra oomph.
There's also a road trip that you can do to unlock a guardian module to further upgrade your drives, however it's a flat boost so it's proportionally more of a boon to ships with bad jump drives than ones with good drives. But every lightyear counts.
Yeah that was me (Archpriest). I just hopped on to invite you and logged back off. I'll be back on this weekend for sure. Maybe sporadically during week.

Started that and I'm only missing some crystals. Thanks for the tip.
Just finished a 2Kly trip that netted me some 20 million and some first discoveries. Hope to repeat that once I've gotten the FSD upgrade.
Those are some awesome mods. Still not maxed out, but it's over twice what I started with this weekend. Spent a good amount on getting there, so I better go back to earning some more exploration credits.
Have a detailed surface scanner installed, and put a point defence turret on a utility slot on the top of your ship. You'll be doing some combat in your SRV, and your ship can help out if it's point defence is close enough. A medium ship might be better for this, as it'll be able to land a bit nearer the ruins than your shiny new Anaconda.
Ran down there in my Aspex and got the blueprint. Think I'm missing some of the guardian power sources and guardian tech that I ultimately need though. That was a really cool thing to do, although I need to get better at SRV piloting.
There's a few other cool things to unlock at the guardian sites, not everything is as vital as the FSD booster though. The Gauss Cannon is pretty much compulsory if you want to fight the big Thargoids, the other weapons are situational/meh.
Man when this game gets its hooks in you, it gets them really deep. It's all I can think about while at work. Tonight I'm going to head back to the bubble and my shipyard though, and then think about what I want to do with my Anaconda. I'm not sure if I want it as a combat vessel considering how big it is, but mining also sounds challenging with a boat that size. So explorer? I've heard it's jump range is huge. But I've only just begun spending time in my Aspex. I need to build a good bounty hunter or combat zone fighter.
I think I'll kit out an FDL. I also want to grind up some ranks with the factions, and need to rep up my engineers too (And find all of them).

Also I found a system buying Void Opals for 1.6 Mil, and it's right beside a planet ring full of the things. Bought my first Anaconda!
