Elite Dangerous players are discussing the possibility of owning a more affordable Fleet Carrier variant tailored for 'Operation Runners'—players focused on hauling colonization commodities and supporting small-group travel with limited FSD range. Currently, Fleet Carriers operate as expensive rentals, which limits accessibility for many commanders. The community suggests introducing a cheaper, scaled-down version with fewer services and reduced storage capacity to better meet specific operational needs. This ongoing debate highlights player interest in more specialized and cost-effective Fleet Carrier options to enhance gameplay and logistics.
