I'm going to drink their gin to reduce your deficit. Never let it be said that I'm not altrusitic.
I have played Since Gamma and some people have more money than me....

Good God, man, you can't go straight to DEFCON OPEN LETTER! What if the other side responds in kind? It could end us!
And now those people are just raging on in this topic. Nobody seems to understand that the original post was 't serious at all. People just take any opportunity to spew their bile. Sad.
Amen on that. Have 1000 hours, barely touched 1Bn, and never have more than 200m in the bank because I keep buying ships. Now, where can I get 100m to outfit Cutter for trading
Moderately wealthy. I concur. I stopped caring about credits whatsoever when I hit a billion networth. I then set about earning enough to afford a tricked out Cutter and Vette, despite not having the rep for either. Now I'm slowly approaching that goal. (Addtl 1.8 billion I believe.) I am Moderately wealthy now. It doesn't mean anything though because there are no real credit sinks in the game. Which is too bad, because I would totally spend 15 billion credits on a five car garaged base on some rock somewhere.
Just like real life [money]
Incorrect. They specifically mentioned cost as being the limiting factor for ship transfers recently. In order for that to be true, the intention must be for money to not be an inexhaustible resource. The same applies to rebuy costs. If they are to be in place at all, they must have some sort of impact.
The issue you're having is that you don't see the potential for issues if this becomes a common CG payout rate, because you're looking at it in a bubble rather than the overall effect.
If cost is any kind of "limiting factor" in the atrocity that is insta transfer, I'll jump up and do the macarena. I'm willing to bet that Fdev will make the instant gratification crowd pay a pittance to move their ships around, or the whole point will be defeated.
Also, in no way am I "incorrect." We all have access to the same opportunities in this game. That means you, me, and Joe Blow. Sure, for the recent CG maybe you only had a Cobra so couldn't make as much money as the guy in the Cutter, but that guy has playing longer and has a lot more money than you in the first place, so the distinction in this very limited example is completely irrelevant; if you wanted to, you could spend a few weeks running Robigo, or hauling biowaste out of Sothis and have your billions in assets, too. If you aren't rich it's because up to this point you've literally chosen not to be.

i reckon we should have a top 100 richest commanders...would be interesting to see whos got more than Ed Lewis lol
There is point to the notion that risk vs. reward should be balanced, just a small point though. It would be best if money wasn't too easy to obtain as it devalues the currency, especially if you have nothing to buy.
The thing is that unless there's a real in-game economy, something few, if any, games get right, there will always be more money than things to spend it on. In a natural environment you should expect inflation if money is too accessible, prices rise but that pushes out the poor. Then you'd get poor systems with cheap ships and rich systems with luxury ships.
The other thing is that in any capitalist system if you are willing to hustle then you'll make the big bucks, or at least that's the story.
In ED if players are willing to grind, or FD puts in places that pay ridiculously well for some reason, anyone can be rich. Play the way you want, you don't need to be rich but you don't have to remain poor if you don't want.

I have been playing sins beta and I have only 47.000.000crs. why? (mostly because I have a massive fleet of ships) but because I never grind.
I may play every day after work and during any freetime when my fiancee does not need me.
But I just role play , live my life , I just play the game.
So what if someone has more money than me? I am having fun !

Sure.
Once you identify them, then you can move forward with a "fair" way to tax them.
They probably stole what they have from the poor CMDR's anyway...
It is allowed because your playing less or playing your own way. Other players are choosing a high profit style of play thus have more money than you. THe forum is littered with threads about these opportunities.
