YATTA! (I DID IT!)


1 down, 2 to go. Decided to get trading out of the way first.

Been playing nearly every day since release. Around mid January is when I set out for this goal with a personal quota of at least 10 million a day.

Didn't have the highest profit route, but I think I definitely had one of the quickest. 1 jump (13.36 jump with a T9 laden 13.36 range. Talk about cutting it close) and both stations where 40ls and 20ls away from the nav star. Each round trip was about 7 minutes long making a nice 1 million.

Now, the galaxy is my oyster. Think I'll go exploring......in an anaconda :T

Also you stat geeks can use this data to further refine when elite is reached (if you haven't already yet). This was taken immediately after dropping off a load still being a tycoon.


Edit- Screw it im done trying to get this picture right. It's there, you see it.

A billion in the UK is one thousand million. A billion in for instance Sweden is one thousand thousand millions (10^12)

Or you could say a million million ^^ Interesting, didn't know that.

I checked and in french, while we don't commonly use this word, it still exists and mean... both (lol). Modern meaning is one million million, old meaning is one thousand million.


At any rates, grats OP. You did it all on the same route ?! wth...

It is now that in the UK but never used to be....

From http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/words/how-many-is-a-billion

In British English, a billion used to be equivalent to a million million (i.e. 1,000,000,000,000), while in American English it has always equated to a thousand million (i.e. 1,000,000,000). British English has now adopted the American figure, though, so that a billion equals a thousand million in both varieties of English.
The same sort of change has taken place with the meaning of trillion. In British English, a trillionused to mean a million million million (i.e. 1,000,000,000,000,000,000). Nowadays, it's generally held to be equivalent to a million million (1,000,000,000,000), as it is in American English.
The same evolution can be seen with quadrillion and quintillion. In British English, a quadrillion used to mean a thousand raised to the power of eight (1024), and is now understood to be a thousand raised to the power of five (1015). A quintillion, in British English, used to mean a million raised to the power of five (1030), and is now most commonly held to be a thousand raised to the power of six (1018).

I took breaks every 30 minutes to an hour while trading. Either bounty hunting for a bit or just logging off giving my pc a well deserved rest.
I most definitely could not do it straight back to back for hours due to supply flux and sanity.
 
Congratulations indeed! You must have wanted that very much! I think I have done around 10mil in a day before using a T-7, hard work but I think I had a smaller goal such as pay for a new Asp or something lol. I have no doubt I will reach Elite for trading but not racing there. Enjoy Founders World mate.
 
Congratulations on that , lots of time for hitting Elite. I'm only at 520ish mil made trading, but I haven't traded back since the beginning of february.
