And for easy winning, second most credits I have made have came from exploring (which btw. was main reason I bought Elite Dangerous, never liked combat side of it, not even in its predecessors). Credits for me are and were just thing to make possible to do what I really want. And exploring is certainly not fastest, easiest or action filled way to "win" the game.

I've been playing for years, in PG and Solo, and haven't even made 1 billion yet. Just because I don't have the time to spend my every waking moment grinding the latest get-rich-quick meta. Sure, some do... but this game isn't only for them.
FOR YOU.
credit can destroy powerplay, you know that? i put a bot mining cr in solo, then use it to fortity as hell.
Well its "Blaze your own trail", so my way is as valid as someone others way. I personally do not care about PP apart from getting some toys from it. For me credits are just for purchasing what I want, and rainy day fund to pay insurance co-pays. Now when I have billion in cash and about two in assets I do not even care about getting more credits. Just do same exploration stuff and so on when account dips under 1 billion.
You know when you play Oblivion/Skyrim and put on god mode armour and stand in the middle of a bunch of bandits... and go shopping for an hour just so you can get your armour skill up? dose it feel any less cheating than setting your skill in the console? is it satisfying?
If you're not enjoying the game as it's meant to be played then perhaps it's not really the game for you that it used to be!
Regardless of which device, connection speeds, open, solo or private mode; How does one win this game?
It doesn't even require to be bottom skill level. I can still beat them - I simply refuse trying to fight against bullet sponges. It just isn't fun anymore.And well some people do not have stomach for engineering grind, or regardless of how much they train great ability to do combat. I for examply am such poor pilot that I would get beaten by NPC's if not flying engineered Cutter with tons of shield enforcements added. And I'm not ashamed to admit that
Yep, Steam tagged it as SP. I dont really care what gets marketed to consoles.

That was taken from the official ED site across all platforms though.
Does that still count?
So, solo players are doing it wrong!
You can't win... there is no win as such!
It's been a while since I saw that screen and I just managed to (mis)read the last phrase as "... ranks of the ironic Elite".
I think it fits better.
Ye, because you conveniently omitted the part that doesn't fit your narration.
I literally typed in buy ED in google and that was what I saw.
You only saw what you wanted to see.
What, words from FD themselves?
It's literally in the same text you cited. You just cut off before the "If you choose to fly in Open Play..." "IF" you can choose to fly there that means you don't need to fly there, right? I interpret it even as not flying in Open Play being the default choice assumed in the text.
But at the same time its not saying ED is a solo experience and nothing else exists- its still an MMO even if some parts are time shifted.
It's easily understood as such and I've been criticising the way it's been marketed before. Repeatedly. It is intentionally implying MP and SP audiences to increase its range. I also think it's not player fault when they don't like what they get to play with when something different was proposed or suggested.
It's not outright lying marketing. It just isn't honest entirely neither.
