On my way back to Wolf 363 after refueling in CEOS. It's been a strugle finding Tritium since I needed to refuel to be safe despite living Colonia with more than 5000 tons of it including a full fuel tank, I'd say you really need 6000 tons of Tritium to do the trip from Wolf 363 to Colonia.

Carriers needs options for upgrading and engineering. right now, they are just able to park somewhere after a short jump and are not really suited for exploration, I figured I use 114 tons of Tritium for <> 500 LY range and navigation is fiddly at best.

I use my Python fitted with maximum cargo capacity into which I transfer fuel and then donate to the carrier after each jump to fill up the tank, I also use the ship to calculate a 1000 LY route then follow its waypoints until I reach one as close as possible to the carrier 500 LY range.

Once I got this done, the problem is that it take a lot of time and manipulation for something that could be a lot simpler if the carrier had an option for engines, navigation and FSD upgrade and engineering.

Thanks! I tried to use it in the past but couldn't get it to work, I'll have another go at it.

Right now I'm preparing yet another trip to Colonia, just collecting Tritium, I guess with experience things will get easier.

Merry X-Mass!

Worked for me year ago, seem to work now, says I need 2300t Tritium extra in my cargo.

Also, check out the Colonia Bridge https://elite-dangerous.fandom.com/wiki ... on_Highway
Haven't tried it myself, but rumors say you may buy Tritium there...

Yes it also works for me now but I wasn't using and finding access to the page allocated to fleet carriers.

130 ASPX jumps to Sgr A* with my Carrier in tow. I plan on leaving the FC somewhere out here as a parking lot and will semi-retire. Should take a few years to burn through my cash.

One jump from Colonia coming from Wolf 363 with a stop at Apura where I figured I couldn't add a service despite having the budget. Reason is simple, not enough space, but the game will tell you that you don't have enough funds. Departed 27 Dec 2021, 7:03am
Anyway, it appears that I don't need a Dockyard to give a lift to a player who will travel with the carrier if docked at time of departure.
When I travel back, probably to CEOS, I will propose a lift to a player or two.
Merry X-Mass and Happy new year!

Happy New Year!

Still hanging out in Colonia region. Went there more than year ago with all my fleet. Doing assassinations, lazily mining Tritium for my maybe possibly future trip back.
