I started a newbie CMDR last summer, just to have the experience of starting from scratch in Odyssey. I started in the Odyssey starting system with a Sidey (HIP 97950?).
I took a few fetch/carry odyssey missions using APEX to get enough to buy a maverick suit. Then I did a few larceny missions picking up all those substances before taking the APEX (too far for the Sidey) to the nearby anarchy station to sell my ill gotten gains. A lot easier than the PF starter system. Got enough to buy a Cobra and upgrade the modules. Then moved on and out.
Overall, I think starting in the PF district it is harder to earn credits quickly.
