E:D CMDRs total credits earned per hour (of current assets) list!!

The new patch today shows how many hours you have played Elite: Dangerous in the statistics panel, under exploration!!

So it's possible to work out roughly how many credits per hour we CMDRs have earned since the start of ED, (it's a much easier sum if you just base it on current assets, rather than totting up all the repairs and fines and what-not).

I never did the whole maximizing CR per hour style of game-play, preferring to doodle about and follow my nose, but I earned roughly 1.1 million credits per hour to this point.

Any takers CMDRs?

1.4 million per hour after 851 hours, though I wasted about 200 hours by not researching how to make credits. It must have taken me 20 hours to get my first 1000, after going negative a few times and having to restart.
 
between 12 and 14 million per hour in my cutter if im not interrupted by real life or an interdiction. I can do slightly better if i went without shields since that would be another 64 tons but that's kind of silly.

That's doing honest slave trading. :p A good smuggling route with slaves would make maybe 20 million an hour. .
 
only 0,43 Mio. Credits per hour. Wuff, that's not so much. But Bounty hunting was not really worth much at the beginning. It really improved with the 1.4 Update.

But I improved a lot and the Hazardous RES are great. Hope Horizons didn't "patch" that. Made 9,3 Mio. Credits in 2,5 hours last time.

Uber, that's not the question! Doh!!

Get your total assets inc all ships, divide that by total hours played gives you you Credits per hour played in the entire game!

I will work mine out tonight when in game!
 
Approximately 300k per hour based on 198,500,000 current assets and 4 weeks 7 hours played time. And I'm one of the ones that thinks there's a lot of grind in the game. Based on my earnings I guess I wasn't the one making it a grind eh? :)

LOL wow my bad! I was thinking to myself when figuring out my hourly income that this must be the 10th thread that's asked that question. Totally my mistake. :p

1,025,987 per hour

I've played 949 hours

254k CR/h

I don't know if they counted the Beta playtime (Pre-reset). If so, then I've spent at least 30% of my total playtime in the beta, which provided 0 Credit in my Current Assets (But was still a lot of fun :) )

I don't honestly see what this stat will prove ?

Why should it prove anything? :)

936 hours. Approx (out of the game at the moment) 330 Million in assets, so 350 Kcr / Hr. I'm comfortably affluent, don't hanker for the next big ship (have a small'ish fleet that covers all my needs), and can run around doing missions for my chosen minor faction, at my leisure. What this game needs, is a metric for "How much FUN". Because I've got bucket loads of that.
