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.
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
