Poll / Question : over your CMDR's Career, what's your income per hour?

[kinglemo2000]

Game hours about 2547
Assets 18,640,000,000
Credits per hour 7.3 mil per hour

Flying as a ryanair pilot at the moment carrying cattle class passengers to long SC stations over 1000000l\s out from three local star systems

 

[Wyaston Hypatia]

Absolutely no idea, and couldn't care less what it is. It doesn't make any sense to how I play the game to worry about credits, they all get wiped anyway.

 

[Backelaer]

Assets : 1,648,943,242 CR
Time : 11w 4d 1h 58m

which, if I've done the sums right, equates to around 1946 hours and around 847,350 CR per hour. That's a lot more than I expected but it will have been bumped up quite considerably by Community Goals (CGs), in particular the one that paid around one hundred million credits.

That's a coincidence: I've been playing 11 weeks, 4 days and... 1 hour [big grin]
Anyway, my average is 1,77 million / hr. Which is quite a bit higher than I had expected. Then again, I almost always participate in trading CG's so that explains a bit I guess.

It really depends on what I'm doing. I don't have a specific career, and many time I make nothing at all for hours or days at a time.

When I set myself to a particular task though, I'd say my peak earnings are around 48m/hr as a smuggler, 18.5m/hr as an archaeologist, 12m/hr bounty hunting, 10.2m/hr hauling rare goods, 9.5m/hr hauling common freight, and 4.4m/hr mining.

But it's not about the Cr/hr for me.. as long as I'm enjoying what I'm doing, the credits are not much of a concern. There are times when I will push myself to earn, earn, earn - usually when I decide something like "I think I'd like to buy another Anaconda/Corvette/Cutter and outfit it today", then the white gloves come off, the sleeves get rolled up, and it's time to get to work.

My total assets are around 4 billion, with a fleet of around 40 ships, all fully upgraded, fully engineered, and rigged for different jobs. In the realm of total assets / time played, I'd put the average earning right around 450,000 /hr, though as I said, there are days, sometimes weeks where I make nothing at all, or even lose credits. A little less than a year ago, it mattered to me. There were certain things I wanted, and I set myself to obtaining them. I did. Now all I want to do is have fun, and I do.

Roughly....

2 dollars and some envelopes

 

[FurtivePygmy]

Main credit expenditures added up (repairs, munitions, rebuys) with total assets: 400,000,000
Time played: 2W 3D (408hr)

Average income rate: 980,000 Cr/hr

Which is actually a fair bit higher than I would have guessed given the amount of time I spend sitting at CGs just waiting for "generous patrons" to show up...

 

[Raino]

i wont sum this up total so:
29W 2D 5H and some minutes
4.102.211.442 assets

 

[danteuk]

From the in game stats panel:
Time played 5W 1D 13H = 205 Hours ?
Total Assets: 1,209,384,304
=
5,899,435 cr and hour ? really ?

I'm sure my math is off somewhere - certainly doesn't feel like I make that much.
I did do the guardians mission a couple of times ( 201M - and once again after the nurffed the payout down to 110M )

 

[Morbad]

Total assets + total expenses (insurance claims, repairs, fuel, NPC crew payments, best guess on donations, etc) = ~2.8 billion CR.

Total time logged in - idle time = ~5000 hours active play.

So, about half a million CR an hour.

 

[SpacialKatana]

Roughly 9 wks / Roughly 1 Billion Assets = Roughly 660,000 p/h

Never stacked missions , hardly done any Cg's, spent most of that time 'splorin'.

Couldn't give a flying kite about credits/hour tbo.

Don't understand the drama that surrounds it, it's a game. I make my money in the real world and concentrate far more on that [yesnod][yesnod][yesnod] #loaded

 

[Kaocraft]

688,620 cr/hr if you go by assets alone. So, "net" earnings I guess.

751,999 cr/hr if you also factor in claim costs. So, "gross" earnings.

 

[Cupsuki]

Not really sure, I'm just getting numbers off my mind since I'm not home.

Player since January 10th 2016 though I was following the game a couple months early.

Total Assets: 1,750,000,000

Money in hand: 280,000,000

Income per hour: 250,000 Cr at best, honestly is quite bad right now but I'm not exactly trying to get money so meh

I used to do some Robigo runs back in the day which got me from 40 mil to around 100 from there I went to 17 Drac and got around another 100Mil which helped fund my Corvette. So in total maybe 200-300 Mil on "Dirty Money" if you want but hey I enjoyed it.

Back when I was actually trying to get money I maybe did around 5-10 Mil and hour so I got my methods

 

[Straha Yeagar]

Premium beta backer. 6. I think mine is 6.

 

[Steph]

Don't understand the drama that surrounds it, it's a game.

Absolutely Saving up for the "next big purchase" is all well and good but it isn't the be-all-and-end-all. I've been kitting out my shiny new Corvette for months and it'll be several months more before it leaves Jameson Memorial. I'm quite happy to pootle along and pick it up when its done.

 

[Das Boot]

I have a shade over 2GCr in assets, and a shade under 2000 hours in game (although I sometime park at a station and leave the game for a while).
Net about 1.1M/hour.

 

[andrak]

6.59 million per hour

 

[VonBlade]

About 3m per hour. Although an extraordinary amount of that income was slave running which has skewed the statistic.

 

[lokvette]

Not sure if i've done this right as I come up with 884809. something silly :x

Not that I care how much I make an hour, not made a penny since late July as there is no were to dock out here

But I did work out I have 1567 Hrs under my belt...

 

[Sylveria]

About 300,000 per hour. Guess I must be "doing it wrong", considering all the other replies to this thread.

Then again, I don't chase the latest FOTM way to make credits in game, or use exploits either.

I just do what I enjoy or feel like doing- mostly exploration, a few bounties and hauling cargo every once in a while.

 

[Achibot]

To be honest, if you want remotely accurate numbers you need to insist that people at least check total assets and playtime in their stats and then post specifics, not just guess or head-calc approximates. There are so many round numbers in that OP it becomes hard to take seriously as a sample.

Current Assets: 2,141,493,112
Approximate Time Played: 4w 18h

2,141,493,112 Cr / 690 hrs = 3,103,613 Cr/hr
