I'd just be really interested to find out how people are playing, I know like myself most people will actually engage in more than one type of activity please just select what you would consider to be your *main* career choice.

If you do more than one please choose your main one. if your main activity is NOT on the list please choose other and specify in the thread.

Thanks for voting....

Space truckers because everything else (exploration, pirating, bounty hunting) needs you to be a space trucker so you can afford what you want to do... or isn't implemented properly yet (mining, smuggling)

EDIT: I just noticed smuggling is so poorly implemented that it doesn't even make the poll :p

You also forgot salvaging I guess.

Started out trading & doing collect missions, currently mostly hanging out by the nav points and popping pirates.
 
I voted for "other", as i do everything. When im bored with trading i go bounty hunting/pirating or im preparing for an event. Oh, yeah, i find mining boring. So actually you should make a poll "what career line is NOT for you"...
 
I dunno that it counts as trading, but I've limited myself for the time being with delivery and/or courier missions (I know, very low paying) and small trade missions... like delivering 4T of fish to a station etc...
 
A bit of light trading and the odd nav beacon bounty hunt in my Cobra. Not the fastest way to make money but it helps prevent me from getting bored.

Trying to make enough to fully kit out my Cobra with some money to spare, then I'm going on an expedition, not picked where yet.

Other - catching up on all the TV I neglected since playing ED. I'm at the point where I can afford a half decent ASP or a crap T7 and am not looking forward to crazy insurance claims. And don't feel like grinding to a T9/Python or w/e.

Docked at an obscure outpost.
 
atm, slogging it out as a trader until i can finally have enough money to go do some good ole fashion stone cold murder has a privateer, mostly aiming for those trading in federal space, and will give them the option to steer there trade into imperial space or face destruction, while seeing if i can achieve most ultimate wanted status.

For now, weighing up the cost, against the fun element, since the penalties are pretty dam harsh when reading in this thread. But you cannot put a price on a good time.

Basically the top 5 bounty list people will dock anywhere they want, they will be attacked by the security ships outside of the station and if they don't shoot back they are safe as soon as they fly inside the station its no biggie, when they are in federation space they will be constantly interdicted by federation authority ships, it was happening to me every 10 seconds. They got the huge bountys by killing federation authority ships, if they die to a authority ship they will have to pay there bounty off at the insurance buyback screen at 150% plus a another fee my bounty was 2.7million and I ended up paying 4 million back then the cycle starts again even though your now clean and have no record all the federation ships still attack you constantly and if you fire back you will be come wanted again, I clear saved and have positive rep with all the factions.

not to mention people putting you on a ignore list, which will be unsporting, but since it the taboo thing to do, i want to do it more. can't wait to see the turmoil my actions will have, especially on the forums, when they mention the bold and dashing dread pirate AgentGB. >>
 
I'm just Bounty Hunting until I can afford a good Piracy loadout. Piracy is actually the most complicated thing in this game surprisingly.

This is a very interesting poll, but you should add some mixtures, as a lot of people, like me, does "Exploring/Missions/Bounty".
 
Needs an all of the above option xD

I have a short attention span and need to switch between careers fairly often in order to not get bored. I chose other for this reason.
