OK so who is the richest pilot in terms of credit balance and assets? I'm just curious...anyone over the 100 bn mark, over the trillion mark?
Before anyone loses their s*** over this it's just a bit of fun and yes, you're right credit balance and piloting skill are totally unrelated. If you only play for fun and don't care about credits, good for you but this thread is all about the money.
I recently hit the 5 bn mark on my credit balance and I've never been an exploiter, never been to Quince, never been to Ceos or Sothis, never took part in the get rich quick stuff, never understood how players make 100m an hour. I've also taken huge breaks from the game over the years so I'm wondering, if you've been playing since launch and trying to max out your credits...what would that look like after 5 years?
What also came to light when I checked my stats is how balanced my earnings are in terms of activity, combat, trade and mining income are almost equal, exploration is quite far down but that's probably more to do with how poorly it used to pay.
Also, my most profitable ship by a long way is my Python, trader, mission runner, miner, it's made me a fortune, far more than any other ship I own.
I've been building that balance up in the hope that one day there would be a suitable credit sink and all that effort would be worth it...with FCs coming up and next year potentially base building maybe I'll finally have something to do with those credits?
BTW if you want the crown of richest player, post a screenshot for proof...mine is below...I won't win.
Maybe tell us how you made your fortune, which ships you used, context is king and who doesn't like a story.
