Credits Per Hour

Just out of interest I was wondering what credits you guys are making per hour of gameplay with your current ship set up and choice of path..

I have got the hauler pimped out with 18t of cargo space,
Max jump distance of 20 light years (unladen)
I am currently carrying out every courier mission I come across at the stations resulting in credits earned with each jump..

I reckon I am earning approx 120,000 credits for every hour of game play..

Interested to hear what bounty hunters explorers and minors are earning

Where did you pickup the bad... frameshift drive? I might fly to that system just for the chance that they are still available.

Looking at the figures quoted here and remembering the time that I had a Lakon Type 9 stuffed to the gunwales with progenitor cells - we need a different metric.

In another thread somewhere hereabouts (apologies for not remembering who or where, exactly) it was proposed that, for trading, credits per hour per tonne of cargo capacity would be an easier metric to use when comparing ships of differing cargo capacities (especially now that we can have big differences in cargo capacity for the same ship simply due to load-out), i.e. metric = credits / (time x cargo capacity).

What upgrades do you have to increase your jump range if I may ask? I've never upgraded a hauler before.

Around 250 - 300k per hour in a 40 ton capacity Cobra, though I'm not hurrying.

It seems to depend on where you start. I restarted several times and it varied from 20k to 150k an hour (hauler) depending on where I started.

In the system I'm in now (still in a hauler) I'm making around 50k an hour.

The markets seem very weird right now. Did a trip last night with gold and made 1,450r per ton. Jumped back and did the same run again... 480r per ton and apart from one lucky run it stayed that low in all surrounding systems for the rest of the night. The lucky run went back to 1,400r per ton but again, the next repeat trip went back down to 400r per ton.

Is the market kind-of dynamic on the servers? I mean were 1,000 other beta players hammering away at that as well?

It's supposed to. It doesn't really yet. You are more of a trucker for hire, you can't really go into economics and "work the market". There is no connection, no consequences. Sometimes you have to transport cargo from A to B and then the next mission tells you to transport the same cargo back to A. Some places constantly run out of material x, even though they should be receiving it all the time. It doesn't make any sense. That's why I say that you're a trucker, not a trader.

Not sure of all my upgrades but I got them all from 1 stop at TZ ARIETIS


Any input from bounty hunters explorers minors etc I have not scratched the surface of this side of the game yet and was curios as to how balanced the credit income is....
