Elite Dangerous: the grail is the Fleet Carrier. Spent 7 years of non-grindy playtime saving up for mine.
-
If you got one is it the kind of ship you could use or is it to valuable to risk?
-
You can use it, and can't really lose it, but it costs a lot of money to operate. (The carriers are about 3.5 burj khalifas long. They are huge)
-
Yes, as of now, you cannot destroy another player’s fleet carrier.
My upkeep costs are ~$15,000,000 a week, which is a good chunk of money but not too much of a hassle.

Got one, really couldn’t find a use for it, let it go. If you have a gaming group to play with on E:D they’re far more useful for everyone to keep their ships on and engage in group objectives. I generally do exo, so having to maintain that beast while I was out in the black wasn’t worth it.
Good luck getting one, it’s still kinda thrilling to achieve that objective.

I love taking my FC deep into the black. Just gotta pay my squad mates to load excess fuel and I’m good to go!

When the fleet carriers came out, I think I had mine in a week. Of course, I didn't keep paying it off, I never really saw the point of them.
You just need to find a good freight loop. It's actually pretty fun running cargo with no shield (but extra armor). I had an imperial cutter customized for cargo hauling and if done right, you made money at astounding rates.
It took a while to locate, but I found a loop between three stations that allowed me to essentially buy low and sell high at every stop on the route. Though one leg of the route was all cargo transport missions, and they always invited interdictions. If done right you can drop out of FS and then jump right back out before the other ship gets their bearings. With a ship that big nobody can stop you.
But it was scary a few times. I may have lost it once or twice...
