No wonder every freighter owner wants to sell you their ship
Freighter fleets are worse than having pets or kids.
Unless you are just using your freighter as a god-awful expensive floating garage, your fleet needs constant attention. They always need fuel for frigates. They're always asking for permission to go out. Every other fleet in the galaxy has strays giving you the doe-eyes asking for you to adopt them. And they're always coming home with random shit you don't want.
The other day, I was out mining asteroids for tritium. AYFKM? I have A- and S- class upgrades for my pulse engine. I haven't had to actively mine tritium in I don't know how long. I get enough incidentally just from shooting asteroids that are in my way. But frigate fuel requires it 1:1 with di-hydrogen, and if the local system isn't selling it then you gotta go gather it the old-fashioned way.
Freighter fleets are always warping into the middle of asteroid fields. They are surrounded by tritium, there are whole crews in each of my fleet's ships, but I'm the one who has to go get it.
Freighters these days, geeze. They just have no respect.
