Yes, the freighter has to start in a PC or else it has to start with 30 PI on-board. It must be capable of holding 30 PI all at once, but that total may be in a joined fleet. If you Join three 10-bay freighters together, for instance, you can issue the Develop to the flagship and the whole group of them will do what you want (load 10 PI on each ship, move the group to the destination system, and drop 15 PI/turn for two turns). Just don't break up the Join while it's busy doing that.
Sound good?
