Just in time? Who else?

Haha looks the same for me (but did the 2 billions to 5 billions stretch in 1 month though)...couldn't do it faster
I'm at 5.1 billions + 600 M in assets so will have to sell some ships but I'll still be able to get my own FC in beta to try it out and give feedbacks.
Before the LTD mining brouhaha I had 7b cr’s resulting from trade almost entirely. I’ve more than doubled that since in anticipation of FC’s although I still haven’t talked myself into buying one given the givens. For me it would serve almost exclusively as mobile storage and maybe a first time visit to Colonia and the Core.
I must admit that I spent a few evenings mining and can now afford a fleet carrier. I've only got a little over 5b at the moment (though similar amount in assets), but I'll just sell all my assets for the beta, and will have done much more mining by the time they arrive in the main game.

Seems like an obvious point. Op is asking who else made the ~6-7billion needed to fully test out Fleet carrier beta 2 by the recently passed deadline for the snapshot.
fleet carriers are priced right, if income was balanced and has always been balanced.
fleet carriers are just mildly costly with the mining being unbalanced.
But the most important thing to take away from this is that everything else in the game except fleet carriers is effectively free - because income is unbalanced and has been that way forever. The only difference now is that people have a reason to take advantage of it for more than 1 billion credits. The only limiter to wealth is boredom.
FDev: "Okay, so we'll nerf mining"
Yes; that despite the raging and howling we will jump through the hoops as FD anticipated, and that FD doesn't need to be overly concerned with providing quality content as long as a basic grind loop suffices.
I hope you're not going to be disappointed. Normally, the starting point for betas is a snapshot from where you were a month ago.
This. On my way back to Colonia from a little Sag A* and surroundings tour. Total earnings will be half a billion or so in three weeks, in a 8mil costing Adder. I'm other words, you go from the cheapest to the most expensive explo ships in mere weeks.
Income is fine, if not too high. Except for carriers Vs mining. Honestly, an absolute beginner will be able to buy a fleet carrier, a year of upkeep and an entire fleet itself in a year of exploring.
It's just that mining is so silly, resulting in people doing it while they'd rather do something else.

What were you mining between 2017 to 2020? Bromellite?
