When I can spend more missiles than I care to admit to shoot down that dangerous/deadly/elite clipper and ONLY get a paultry 90k sometimes WITH a KWS, than turn around and get 100k+ from a master then BH needs to be buffed and maybe scaled a BIT better.

I definitely concede some things need tweaking upwards...... I also think some of the gear prices could be dialed back a bit (like the really large a rated fuel scoops for instance)
But nothing like to 100s of millions an HR in a ship costing 100 mil.
The other thing which sucks it despite all the buffs to exploration and mining, FD never thought to increase the amounts needed to get to elite. (They did a few times early on but not since)
When the game launched there were 4x £10,000 prizes 1 for each elite and one for triple elite (this was before CQC)
It took many months for all those prizes to be given out. It could likely be done in 24 hrs now (combat elite may take a little longer)

Then you've chosen wrong game. Play something aimed for Single player, like Read Dead Redemption.
It has a story and an end.

MMO's are designed to provide people with something to do for as long as they exist.

So you think they want people to achieve their goals in 2 weeks and then leave the game out of boredom and lack of things to do?
MMO's live off people playing for as long as possible and buying things like cosmetics.

The're trying to find the middle ground. Whether they succeed is a matter for discussion.

The noob of today doesn't have the faintest idea how easy they have it now. And still, they complain. I can assure you, when I was a noob 5 years ago, it took me ages to even make enough credits to get to a Python. Or either of the ranks. Now it can be done within a week. I don't want those super grindy days back, but what we have now is an unbalanced mess.

Not what I ment.

Again I am missing your point.
Are you saying that all games should follow the same formula and there is no place for niche games to do things a little different?
The entire reason ED was KSed and self published was (if you believe the Devs) not to make them more money but to allow them to make the game they wanted free from the shackles of a publisher who would want cookie cutter features.
Am on a (very rubbish) phone but David Braban covered this very issue pre release in a video where he said it was vital there was not a meta earner which made huge amounts of cash undermining the rest of the game. Mining was even the example he used.
He also said that ED was a game he planned people to play for over a decade. It was never meant to be a game which showed off her jewels in a handful of hrs.
