So there should be opportunties that present themselves based on supply and demand that make earning 500m in a single day, starting with a sidewinder, actually possible.
See, I don’t think there should be.
In a game where almost everything you do earns credits it shouldn’t be possible to make credits meaningless within a couple of hours of play.
For gamers, Credits = Dopamine, which ensures reward motivated behaviour. You don’t want to ever take that bit away.....it’s important.
In the current climate, FD simply don’t provide enough for us to actually buy. They could double the stock price of every ship tomorrow and it wouldn’t be a problem even for newcomers...
A single void opal asteroid yields around 20 million credits. That’s 3 x AspX’s....or 1 x Chieftain. And you can pluck it in an Adder.
It’s not just core mining. Surface mapping is crazy as well...
The use of ‘Road to Riches’ often brought out heated debate in the community here. But at least it took some planning...
Now all you have to do is strap on a DSS and filter for agricultural economies and you’ll be piloting the ship of your dreams in a matter of hours...
So no, I’ll be standing solidly by my first statement. I know I open myself up to a flaming by talking like this but god....it’s just daft in the black right now.
