You are doing it wrong if you get 100m per 90 minutes
The quote i posted comes from the admin of Inara.
So it is based on all registered Inara commanders, but it was taken at the end of August. And it reflects only credits not assets.
Maybe it is worth to point out that End of August is quite close after the Carrier announcement.
see above
Frontier have for years taken a stance of not being well endowed when it comes to setting any sort of progression system in elite dangerous. Every single thing they've introduced that is enough to show on the radar has been cut down to insignificance so.. until we see evidence otherwise, my guess would it be the cost will come in below expectations.
That happened to me; the agonising choice between Corvette and Cutter. I chose Cutter because I was helping with station repairs at the time. Once you've got the Cutter, the Corvette is paid for quickly though. After that you can have whatever you want.
I've timed "double painite" at 100M per 50 minutes, (Python).
Remember that:
- the figures don't include ships, it's just current credit balance. Someone could have an entire A-rated fleet of every ship twice and a few hundred million in spare cash, and would appear in the bottom category.
- once you have a spare billion in credits, unless you have an expensive PvP habit, you don't really have any use for extra money
- not everyone likes mining so much that they'll do it even if they don't need the money for anything.
They're obviously only of Inara-registered commanders, but that's more likely to skew rich than poor since the player who bought the game, flew around for a couple of weeks in their Freewinder, bought a Cobra, then went to do something else probably never registered.
I don't think the money flowing easily is the problem, the problem is that earning cash via any other means except the current "most efficient means" results in ppl just grinding that activity, rather than all means of making money forming an natural ecosystem.
Opal mining should result in piracy, should result in bounty hunting and so on.
As it is, apart from the initial activity of building a mining capable ship, opal mining is relatively risk free (with NPC interdiction not being a thing, and for PvP to be non-existent) so it becomes a grind with limited game play.

depends on people's resistance to grinding.
For example i'm alternating deep core with laser mining and with running missions.
Credits for a shiny new toy...but without the gameplay what is the point of the shiny new toy?
There's probably something suboptimal about your build or procedure if that's all you're getting.
In an optimised laser-mining build, you should be able to earn Cr200m per hour (give or take) mining Painite.
Yes, this is my "can mine anything" Python.
This gold rush is because Frontier wont tell the players how much the Fleet Carriers will cost. FOMO (fear of missing out) is what is driving people to mine as much credits as possible. It looks good on Fdev metrics in both engagement and number of players in game that wouldn't be there otherwise. Smart move on their part in not telling us and wont expect them to until days before release of the December update.
