How much money can you make per hour, and how do you do it?

I've got a Type 9 with a cargo capacity of 500. I'm doing some trading, making ~5 million CR per hour.
 
Usually about a million an hour, whether by bounty hunting or mining, with quite a bit of random deviation in there due to how elusive my quarry is or how beneficial the asteroid content turns out to be.
 
Bounty hunting in high intensity RES with a vulture, if i get a good instance i can make up to 7 million CR per hour. ( Power related bonus included )

About 4.2K Cr/tonne of capacity on a single jump (less than 20LY). Smuggling one way, palladium the other. Takes less than 10 minutes per round trip. Works out at a shade more than 10M Cr/hr in my Anaconda.
 
I fly missions in a mutli role loadout asp.
I focus primarily on bulk kill pirate missions and smuggling, paying attention to when mission destinations overlap.
I make .6-1.5 million an hour, and have a bunch of fun while I do it.

I tried running around in a type 7, making 2-3 million an hour, but that was painfully boring so I stopped.
 
Trading I can get between 6-10 million an hour, depending on the route and especially the amount of times I've been interdicted. Combat zones, with ALD's rating 5 bonus I've gotten 5-9 mil in 20-30 min, depending on how feisty the AI is for that instance, and whether I need to bail for reloads. I haven't tried a full hour yet because of reload bails, and I only got the rating 5 bonus today.

I made all my money with combat and rank 5 power play. Roughly 15 million credits per hour in a CZ. That could go up to a bit over 30 million in an hour all depending on variables. Trading right now in my anaconda I am making about 8.5 on a two way 15 LY jump route trading legitimate stuff, no slaves or smuggling. Only trading for the elite rank then I'm off to finish my exploring rank. Only stuff left on my bucket list since I'm Admiral and elite in combat.
 
I can make about 1.2M / hour in Arissa space bounty hunting with my Vulture. Or about 1M / hour mining in a pristone metallic in my Asp. Those can change though depending on RES quality, how lucky the asteroids are, and how plentiful mining missions are.

Pirate lord kill missions given out at unusual frequency at a special secret station whose name I'll never tell.
 
With ALD's rating 2 bonus, I get about 10-15M/hr in a HiRES with some spawn resetting in my A-rated Clipper. Hopefully soon I'll be able to see how it does with the Rating 5 bonus.

The quickly inflating balance of my wallet takes some of the pain out of it.
 
Not sure, I've played several hours today, had great fun, credit balance must have went up by a few mil. It was a good day.
 
Never? Never EVER?
Never ever.

did I mention that all pirate lord missions are targeted towards one system within 8 LYs from the mission giving star port? Oh, all the pirate massacre missions given out at that star port is also directed towards that one neighboring system.

apparently that system is like a candle to pirate lord moth. Can't see why. I've seen pirate lords there with cargo hold full of literal crap
