**Fleet Carriers can be tailored to specific roles by their owners.

Installing more services increases the vessel's upkeep costs, but the owner can also suspend ~~or deactivate~~ unneeded services if desired. The owner can place tariffs on Fleet Carrier services and goods to generate income to pay for upkeep.<ref name="April Recap" />
