A year from now we'll all be able to build Coriolis stations from our stacks of credits.
do you think that it takes too long to get anything you want?

I voted no.
Career progression should be a long road and take a long time.
If quick the game will degenerate into a top tier ship arena and quickly bore.
However a long career should still be interesting, exciting and fun. Which I think is where ED is lacking.

Don't entirely agree with the yes option but I voted that. Everything takes months of trading to acquire just one upgrade for anything above a Viper, it's a little ridiculous. Though I don't want to fly an Anaconda.
Personally I don't care how long it takes to get to an Anaconda, partly because I'm a casual player doing my own thing and will probably NEVER be able to afford one and I'm cool with that. My main worry is that this will turn into WoW in space.
I used to play WoW but got wholeheartedly disillusioned with it after the second expansion came out, and it only got worse from there. Initially it was difficult getting from L1 to 70 and you actually had to play properly so you didn't die every 5 minutes, but as the expansions came the earlier levels got easier and easier so they were pointless to play and the only goal was to get to L90 as fast as possible because that's where you got to play the game. Only you didn't. All that happened was you got to grind the rep and the dungeons to get the latest/greatest gear to fight in RAIDs which you could never get in to if you were a casual player. So I left.
I'd like Elite to stay difficult from the beginning, but I'm all for making all the professions equally viable so we can all play the way that we want to play and make the progression that we feel we want to. Me I'm happy to be bumming around in my Adder, doing a little trading here and there, exploring and some BHing. Not making big bucks whilst I'm doing it, but doing the most important thing .... having fun.

Well I noticed a post on Galnet relating to taxation and combat pilots...and just earned about 2x my usual at a res point - now I had to fight for it, mostly Clippers/Dropships/Pythons/Anacondas in that instance but it was fantastic fun. I hope the 2 really are related and that this is here to stay. Might have that vulture much faster now.
