Just been looking through my assets and statistics. I have made around 18 mil from combat and bounties, 2 mil from exploring, and around 112mil from trade and mining and smuggling. That's near or there 132 mil in income. Take away 2 mil in insurance claims, fuel and repairs etc. Lets call a round figure of 130 mil in overall profit. My current assets are a 60mil trade set-up Python, 40 mil in cash.
Somewhere along my way I have squandered 30 million credits on buying and selling ships. What a complete waste. I do remember doing it as well. Buying a type 7, selling it cos I wanted my Asp back at the time. Getting Cobras, selling them. I must have bought at least 5 Asps and Type 7's and sold them again. I bought a Vulture, sold it within a day as I disagreed with it without giving it enough time. And now weeks later, I keep looking at one in the local shipyard, and keep hovering the mouse over buying it. Did it with the type 9 too. Sold within a day, and I my mind is now telling me I should get one again, to make the grind to the Conder quicker. The type 9 foray means, yes you guessed it, I bought another Python.
The ship dealer must be rubbing his hands when he sees me in the station looking at the price boards on the forecourt. He must leave the boots (trunks if your reading in the USA) open and the windows down to entice me in for a look, like all used car dealers do.
Its me being indecisive, getting bored quickly and always wanting something else. I regret it all now. And just hope there will be a day when, like components, you get the price you paid back for the ships you sell.
See you out there
