So I finally got into this game yesterday, some of the stuff I really liked an other aspects seem to need work from my first impressions (although obviously the game is still a work in progress). Anyway I'll just fire away an if anyone can answer please do.
1) I haven't played with a friend yet I'm considering forcing him to buy beta access. I'm wondering what the multiplayer experience is like, am I able to zoom around on the same ship (I assume not) or can we just fly around together on different ships. Also are you able to trade your friends items & credits.
2) There seems like a massive void between the 200k ship (100 cargo type 6 thing) and the next ships which cost in access of 3 million credits. Is this purposeful? Or are the ships that slot between simply not finished.
3) I'm trying to save up for one of the 3 million + credit ships, The problem I have is I'm only able to make around 60-70k every 20 minutes with my current trade run, is that normal or should I go elsewhere to find better profits?
4) I'v made about 400k credits without firing a single shot, in fact I literally couldn't defend myself if I tried, I haven't learnt combat at all. Yet every single engagement I escape easily. It seems like the game is a little easy, Isn't ED supposed to be hardcore?
5) I understand that you can play online without the multiplayer settings & that still affects the overall universe. Doesn't that potentially allow someone to gear up in the single player online mode then enter the MMO part with little to no risk?
6) It seems that within one day I'm able to upgrade from Starter > Eagle > Hauler > Cobra > Type 6. Doesn't that limit the longevity of the game someone if climb most of the ship upgrade ladder can be done in a single day.
That's it really, that is all I had on my mind. I do really like the game a lot, but it seems like it's going to be very quick for me to hit end game then have nowhere to go upon release. I mean I literally just learn the game yesterday (360 controls are excellent, miles better than SC) and I'm already looking towards purchasing an end game ship.

. And thats in my sidewinder where i don't have to worry about losses. But tbh it is pretty clear stuff is going to be rebalanced.
