Shut up and play the BGS.
In my experience, the game only makes sense when you play the BGS.

Honestly, I wouldn't expect the "oh but the federation has rampant poverty" argument to hold up if our mission payouts represent the game's economy in any meaningful way.
It takes what, 5 minutes to earn back the purchase price of a sidewinder? With a RoI like that, basically any joe blow with two hands and functioning eyes/ears should be able to take out a loan for a sidewinder, zero down, no interest for the first 90 days, no questions asked. Bad credit, no credit, no problem. You'll have it paid off in 5 minutes and then you'll be rolling in cash. Approval will be a cakewalk because for the bank, handing out a loan for such a high RoI piece of hardware is the safest investment they can possibly make.
When it's that easy for any bum off the street to take out a loan for a sidewinder and make their fortune, there's basically no reason for poverty as we know it to exist in the Federation.

Its a case of what a state/society considers valuable. You need to build and invent machines, people are born for free. Morality is variable, and some people like the power. Utopian mentality isn't universal.
