210k+ in commodities is like 40 two-way trips every day for the week. Say 8 minutes for 2 jumps, in system and docking travel time that's over 5 hours each day.
A billion+ in bounties takes over a thousand kills. Even killing one every minute is like 3 hours every day for the week (and that is an impossible pace considering respawn rates, need for resupply and Braben tunnels etc...)
All for a free Clipper or FAS which saves you ~22 million in purchase cost and a million of rebuy. This is insane before you even consider what someone with at least billion+ credits would even do with these ships...

watch my guides and stop mining stop running passengers stop doing all that time wasting garbage that fdev puts there to make you A SUCKAAA!!! Just be rich and have every ship in 3 days, ( if you put the initial effort to set up the spot ). watch all the tutorials and talks and bullshit, and forget what every other person tells you. if what you want is a really really really really really FAT WALLET, as in a quarter trill kind of rich, then you do the Cephy method on a system of your choice and watch it make you a billionaire.

BurstarSo, the Top 10 spots in the last few CG's have been W.T.F.

EpisparhA click-bait from a bright example of Dunning-Kruger effect.

Asking cuz I just don't know.

I am not expert in the E : D lore but there are bright examples of all kind of maniacs in the books I've read and even in some of the recent Galnet articles and game additions.

Yeah it was not 5 hours a day, it was like 7-8 hours for 30-40k for me in a type 9 with about 30 tons less than max tonnage? I gave up on trying about 3 days in cause I only had time to grind during the evening till 3am and I was fading harrdddd.

Not for Pirate Bounties it isn't. Everyone in the wing gets the same credits with no multiplier. You theoretically could be killing 4x faster if the actual kill rate was the only limiting factor (it isn't) but even in a wing you still need the same number of kills to get to the top ten so your math is wrong.
And I didn't say 200million was impossible, just insane. Also, 200 million in a day is great and all. Now do that 5 days in a row the whole while not knowing if it will be enough...

Oh for crying out loud... you again? Are you that much of a masochist towards Artie's banhammer?

BurstarWaylongwayQuillmonkey‘Come with me if you want to live’
But I’m not even off the passenger mission screen when I start receiving impatient complaints.
‘Is this rescue going to take all day?’ they ask before I’ve even retracted my landing gear.
Well ladies & gents. We’re in a dolphin so yes, we can quite happily sit in this burning station all day and never overheat. Maybe you’d feel better getting out and walking, you ungrateful little shits?
It’s a good job I’m not doing this for money.
This. Even the VIPs in Robigo don't complain as much. And they actually pay something.
What's completely incomprehensible is that the most stupid station rules are still in effect after everything else goes down. There shouldn't be anybody enforcing them since authorities are closed. Who actually issues the fine for "loitering" when the landing pad is only lit by flames? And the need of the refugees to leave the station can't be high if they don't board a ship that came to rescue them, but just got fined 100 Cr.
Yeah, I didn't like how station comms are still treating the interior like normal business. The stations should be using the robotic automated systems voice during the crisis so it at least feels like the station is being abandoned and that your fines are purely a glitch with the universes' 'automated honesty' systems.
As it is now, it feels like Traffic Controller is working in the "this is fine" meme
Yes that was annoying , who would not get off a burning station ? Loitering, there is debris "loitering " everywhere!

I see zero opportunities in all this.

EpisparhI personally raised my rep with Federation, Empire and Alliance and will find something else to do next 6 days.
I see zero opportunities in all this.
You pretty much maxed out what E:D currently has to offer. Every day passed will bring us all closer to the release of Odyssey though. Can't wait...
The imperial/fed grind continues for me
Alas, none of the locations I visited so far (Rhea and Achenar) seems to be offering any high grade materials even when allied.
