From the last time I tried a free fly event, I think ships bought with in-game credits have in-game credit based insurance.
Judging by the queues we saw at Sothis back in the day, I think you underestimate the potential percentage of the population in space games prepared to embark on such an undertaking.
Yeah, well, stall player progress too much and you see them queue up in just one station in a galaxy of billions of stars. Which is, quite frankly, silly. Billions of opportunities, but people grab just one. At least that is sufficient for SC - there is only one star in the game.
Key words being "When you know"
Also, what ship is needed to obtain 100K per hour? Can you do this in an Aurora/Mustang or does it require something further up the tiers?
"When you know" is not stellar knowledge. Just knowing which missions are good for you.
You can do it in Aurora but you have to be good and fast. It's easier to do it in a ship slightly better than the starter one (like an Avenger Titan for 800K to buy / 15K to rent).
Ships bought in game are no different than ships bought with cash...if it gets exploded, you go spawn another with relevant reclaim timer, ship insurance hasn't yet been implemented. Eventually everything achievable in game, credits, ships, upgrades etc will be wiped at Ci¬G's discretion leaving you with what you bought in with, your game package and whatever amount of UEC and ship(s) are tied to that package. Until then, ships bought in game are to all intents and purposes...yours.

You can just ask in global chat in game if you're really struggling...some kind soul will gift you a few 100k aUEC to get you started. That might sound strange but it's more common an occurence than you'd think

Well every game has that insider knowledge requirement. Reason why there are quite many how to get credits easy tutorials for Elite (of which many are obsolete). I don't particularly count that knowledge requirement against SC.
What's the dollar per vector exchange rate at the moment anyway?
A carrack.
Like in every MMO game. And personnaly, I don't think you can find in anygame a newb deciding to grind 3 month to an upperclass ship just after 10 hours of playtime. It's like some newb decided to grind an Anaconda with his Sidewinder after playing 10 hours... So the guy had certainly a fair knowledge of the game and some equipment when he started to grind.
EDIT : D2EA gave a tuto in 2018 to get from Sidewinder to Anaconda in 14 hours. It's possible for a newb like me ?
Probably that tutorial is obsolete nowadays. Truly obscene amounts of cr/h tricks have been nerfed some time ago. Still one CAN earn quite much easier than some years ago, it took many hundreds of hours for me to earn enough to buy and rudimentary equip Anaconda, I though did not use various get rich quick "accidental gold rushes"/exploits.
I think you perhaps don't realise how 'easy' it is to grind up the sort of credits in Elite we're talking about here, even now.
I recently (2 weeks ago) reset my save and could be already plowing around in an Anaconda, and I'm not even trying to smash the credits.
Justify motives as much as you want, or talk about billions of systems vs one star, the point is still the same.
People that play space games of this nature tend to lean more towards the sort of 'grinding' we're talking about.
Assertion.
A crime stat Mole! You.....you fiend you! I hope you used your time in prison to reflect on what you did wrong and change your criminal ways
EDIT : D2EA gave a tuto in 2018 to get from Sidewinder to Anaconda in 14 hours. It's possible for a newb like me ?
Yes D2EA did it in 14 hrs. At that time the route was Bounty hunting sniping at Nav Beacon (using police to do majority of damage), buying some basic explo equipment and following a 'Road to Riches' explo route up to approx 8m, then buying mining equipment with that and core mining Void Opals for the rest (at that time could get 6m+ for 1 Void Opal). I think they then went to Colonia or set off anyway.
Its even easier now. BH is much more profitable and surface mining Platinum is quicker than core mining. (too easy imo and almost impossible not to make credits, but I wrote 2 walls of text about that earlier so wont repeat, but will add you need a lot less 'knowledge' now than you used to)
Good on you (make it harder, make it harder
)Yep, the only way to avoid it is not to do missions or any planned activity in the game, do not Trade, Fight or Explore basically.
I guess FD found out that the crappy earnings of early days coupled with RNG rouletto rolling for engineers didn't go so well together.A crime stat Mole! You.....you fiend you! I hope you used your time in prison to reflect on what you did wrong and change your criminal ways

No. An assessment based on current and past experience of gaming communities, including this one here.
I mean, I could start to slow time you through this line of thinking, but I suspect it will involve more what-aboutery, deflection and obfuscation on your part, unless my post basically boiled down to 'Star Citizen Bad'.
