What are your total earnings from?

So I was sittin' in my ship, fiddling with my panels on a 300,000ls journey to an outpost to drop off a classified data package, when I got curious...
I was wondering what the overall pattern would be in everyone's earnings in Elite. Go to your right hand panel, under the status tab, and look at your statistics. You'll find your profits for everything there.

For me it breaks down as follows:

Profit from turned in bounties: 170,806,693cr

Profit from combat bonds: 66,666,640cr (Combat bonds are the devil, Bobby!)

Profit from Robigo: 101,482,031cr (Okay, Black Market, lol.)

Profit from trade: 214,677,450cr

Profit from mining: 14,945,479cr (I should start mining again...)

Profit from exploration: 4,082,446cr (Waiting on Horizons to take the big trip to Sag A.)

Profit from CQC: 22,369cr

It seems like I'm primarily a combat smuggler in terms of earnings. Ironically, when this game first launched, I was only a trader explorer, and was proud of my harmless 0%. I was also afraid of crime. [haha]

Also just found from the wiki, that the reason I've pretty much halted at Dangerous, is because you don't get any points for killing stuff below your rank... Would explain why after killing probably a hundred ships, I'm still at 6%. Wasn't getting any percent for them! They were all harmless/competent with one or two dangerous/elite ships in there at a time.

As for earnings, I'm not at home but the only one I can definitely remember is mining: 0cr :D

Current Assets: 73,769,809

Profit from bounties: 47,266,344

Profit from combat bonds: 55,972,000 <--- even?!

Black market profit: 86,262

Profit from trading: 11,011,193

Profit from mining: 243,595

Profit from exploration: 756,487

Profit from CQC; 11,244

Only adding this because I found it to be crazy:
Credits spent on ships: 319,678,941

Credits spent on outfitting 311,675,120

Judging by how much I've made across the board you can deduct that I hated smuggling and mining. If I could get more than 1 game of CQC Deathmatch a month I'd probably have more from CQC.

The bread and butter for me is anything combat related. I really enjoy sitting in a HazRes for hours at a time. I'm currently 63% Through dangerous.

I hear ya on the CQC part. I might get one match a month, myself. ^^ Also my outfitting is insanely high too, since I'm always changing ships and gear, and since you barely loose any money from doing so, I'm always buying and selling stuff.

I only recently tried mining and I kinda enjoy the tranquility of it. I did my first mining session in my shiny new Anaconda yesterday and made just over 4m. Not as much as I would've made trading in the same amount of time, but I enjoyed it. I am gonna go trading in it tonight though as I want an A-rated power plant in it. An A6 is all I'll need at the moment.

Relating to the original question, I don't think the stats panel accounts for BB missions, otherwise my smuggling and trading figures would both be much higher.

I know smuggling is my main income source, followed by trading and then exploration.

Roughly from memory...

300 million from bounties

50 million from combat bonds

100 million from trading

75 million from exploration

My total assets is in the ballpark of 550 million, I've made the rest through mining, a quick blat on Robigo to see whats what and, er... thats it I think...

+1, this made me laugh.[haha] As to the question of illythekid, it'll add the SRV for exploring planets, craftable jumponium for longer jumps, as well as the engineers to mod my ship for better exploration.

Before posting, I didn't check out that screen in a while. I was just shocked to see that I spent that much and I've never owned a conda. Haha

The vulture is nice enough for me. I bought it as soon as I could (before FD dropped the original price on it) and have been going back to it ever since!

You know, some of us use the blackout forum theme, lol.



For me, currently at work. But I'm pretty sure the majority of my money came from bounties. But that'll probably change once I get back to the bubble.
