The Carrier upkeep is annoying especially when you've limited time to play and come back to a hundred million credits drained from the account.
OTOH it is incredibly useful for the Thargoid events when you can use a highly optimised AX build knowing that a friendly dock and all your toys is only a jump away.
Would be nice to have a "light carrier" brought in for exploration. Mine is going to need about hundred million credits in tritium for a run out to Colonia and back by way of some sights.

Lol, i bought mine with only a bit over 5 billion and had to sell a load of modules to make the upkeep. Yes you really do need refuel rearm and repair so factor those into the purchase price but as owner you don’t have to worry about a shipyard or outfitting and it comes with 500 tonnes of tritium so a trip to a decent mining site is within range. Then spend a week filling the hold or just sell the platinum to another carrier.
My credit level only ever raced upwards when i got it

I'm guessing this is a Freudian slip and you meant tritium You're one of the people who prefer to mine platinum, sell at a higher price than trit, and use the proceeds to buy the trit?
Then I’d sell it to another carrier or a large station and use the proceeds to buy tritium so no Freudian slip.
So a tonne of platinum is worth roughly 150-200k + a tonne of tritium (bought at around 50k). Kill as many birds with one stone.
Thats how I racked up the credits to the point of not worrying about upkeep for a year anyway.
I’d also collect osmium and then if I spotted a mining rush with team missions I’d sell for up to 350k/tonne and invite others to cash in too. I have about 1200 tonnes still waiting lol … 😂
Irrespective though, teaming up at a Spire site or a base under Thargoid attack can yield silly amounts, I cashed in 1 billion combat bonds after a day or so which is a pretty average amount and that’s not even including the shared missions!
Please check your seatbelts and local spacetime instance.
