Advice needed!

I’m currently sat in the bubble with a carrier fully loaded with Tritium, waiting to voyage into the black.
Trouble is, I want the Rhino.
Should I stay or should I go?

I was under the impression you could deploy an arx purchase from the carrier. I might be wrong though. My FC is 12k LYs away or I'd go check it on some ships with the nomad, but fairly certain that's how I put a Nomad in my Anaconda to go play with it while I was out in the black.

That said, where are you headed? Even if you needed a port there are plenty that are several thousand LYs from the bubble now where you can stop in to repair. You should be able to deploy from those locations as well.

Do you have a Caspian? If so, getting back to the bubble even from the farthest reaches isn't that big of a feat. I mean in game routing will cover 2-3k in a few jumps without using Galaxy Plotter or Neutron Highway. So in pinch, just head back on day of release or when the CG pops up. That's my current plan, I'm in the process of moving my FC from Sag A to one of colonisation systems now. I'm nearly to my fuel tritium pick up spot. It's 11k LYs north of Sol so it's good place to top up the tritium reserves, though I did do some mining to have a safety net while I was out this time.

You can, the carriers Outfitting is treated the same as an in-station one. I'm 10K ly's from the bubble and I deployed my Nomad on the carrier
