What do you think is the best way to make credits in game?

Your friend in a HIRES is doing something wrong, it's entirely possible to get over 10 million per session (2 hours or so). Smuggling is even better, credits per hour ratio-wise. I love exploration but it is the slowest way to make money... It is, however, beginner friendly as all the other activities require significant investments to maximise proft, while exploration can be done in a cheap beginner vessel and stil bring in the same amount as if it were done in something more expensive.

Didn't realize you were doing HIRES wrong unless you PowerPlay...
 
In the last 2 months ive made around 1.5 billion purely doing Robigo missions, bit of a grind, 2 trips a day, 3 hours, then go and do other stuff. We,ll all need uber credits for when Horizons is launched.
 
I made most of my money early on by short range BB smuggling missions.

It seems however the best way of making money quickly is trading, if you have a ship with a large cargo capacity like an Anaconda or T9.

You can trade in a Cobra and still make quite a lot of money.

Mining, for raw profit. No profit margin can outperform what you get from precision mining in a pristine metallic belt.

In free-play, that is. I'm not counting mission profits.

Best part is ores aren't illegal anywhere, so you can sell wherever you like.

The only risk is pirates.
 
This is a wonderful question... So innocently loaded :) Without taking into account the player's mode of play, where they are in the game financially, what they think their individual target for progression is, this question is unanswerable ;-)
 
I have tried all professions (except pirating) and the most effective way I have found to make money is PP. I had a good wing working for Hudson and after my 50mil a week bonus I was making easily 100mil bounty hunting on controlled systems. Power Play is the way to go if you have a few friends and a few hours. I have been playing since day one of GPP, and granted, I am not as rich as some others in the same time frame, I made more money in PP in 2 months than I have made the entire rest of my game time. Hands down. With this in mind and somewhat limited game time due to kids, my current assets are around 750mil with almost 150mil on my right now. Once again, not great compared to some others, but not bad by any means
