Are you working towards 5 billion credits ?

- Start date
Oh hey! I just passed through there this weekend, on my way back from the Sagittarius-Carina arm!
I wanted to head back to the Bubble from Colonia, but got distracted and went slightly off course (again).
SI mean, relatable, I was on a trip from Colonia to see some Void Hearts, 14,000ly away, but accidentally ended up an additional 35,000ly out, on the eastern rim of the galaxy. Like you do.
Just spent 30 minutes selling all the pages of explo data, so now I can get some rest.
I may reach double elite...but the grinds keep interrupting me especially as I think I’m a casual player. I play this for a bit and then switch to other games and come back weeks or months later.
Hit 16 billion credits earlier today, with another 4 or 5 in assets. Probably gonna go for another 4-9 billion.
I did. For a while. I have 5.2 billion in cash right now. But even though a Carrier costs "5 billion CR", in reality it's much more than that. If you want other services than the base modules, you have to pay more, and then there's the upkeep. So my 5.2 billion is not enough for anything basically. I finished mining and I simply won't buy a Carrier, because I have no intention to spend all the money I accumulated in three years of normal play with a few clicks, then have the whole thing only temporarily.
I'm going to liquidate my ships if I need to. None of it carries over so I won't be losing anything
No!
Fleet carrier should have been a squadron based addition and not individually owned.
What do you mean about ships not carrying over? To where? Are you changing platforms?
I meant during the beta. I can liquidate my assets in the beta and it won't affect my main acccout
someday probably. Using a FC to reach Systems far beyond the known jumprange is fine.
Nope, because 5 billion isn't enough. Its at least 6 billion for an exploration loadout and then you need a billion a year on top, so 7 billion to get started and that will leave you with just enough for a year before your FC is decommissioned if you don't earn any money (thankfully FD are adding UC as a way to make money while exploring... whether you will make a billion a year exploring depends on how much scanning you do).
Currently at 3 billion, not willing to grind for 4 more at this time.

Nope, even with the upkeep changes. It's still a money sink / login whip disguised as something shiny if it cannot generate money from NPC trading IMHO. Want passive costs? Give passive income. Simple as that. I might however pop into Borann to learn and try out some mining at least before it's gone.
Ah, ok. My bad. I was referring to the main game. Haven't decided about the beta yet. This will be the very first beta on console, so I may wait a little bit before jumping in, just in case. But if I do decide to test it I will have enough money since I have almost 7 billion in assets. I'll just skip the thing in the live build.
Too much money! Me wants rum!
I'm undecided about the beta, too. Someone said if I don't contribute I am not allowed to nag about the release so...¯\(ツ)/¯
If I sell my colonia-fleet I will have enough money for a carrier and basic outfitting.
But I'm not sure if I will be back in the bubble or around colonia when the update drops as I'm currently on the other side of the galaxy and playtime is very limited .
I gathered up 12 billion last year for FCs only to get slapped in the face with upkeep and decommissioning. If they go through with it then I'm done with the game. I didn't sign up to be in a codependent relationship with a game company.
