I got this game on the 22nd March 2015.
Currently I have around 4.6 million credits in assets.
Just got my first exploration discovery:

And I have died just twice in solo play. I play now in the Morbius group.
Just got my advanced scanner yesterday ( yeah I agree now it is better as it is!) and just got my Adder fully exploration rated with an A 3 frameshift drive.
I have shot down just two ships (both in the cobra I had before).
Stick with it - there are some amazing sights out there once you get beyond civilized space.
This is now my current wallpaper!
I was ready to quit the game after the first time I got wiped coming back from a long exploration trip. Glad I persevered now
