I'm glad I'm not the only CMDR that thought that...

Yes, but lets not make the game too easy. Whats the fun if it becomes so easy you take the dangerous out of the game. Hell why don't they just give you a Federal Corvette with 10 billion CR right at the start?

Hows that for instant gratification?

Instant perhaps. But not very gratifying.

I remember the early days when it would take a guy 6 months or more just to get a decently outfitted Python.

Money making has gotten soooo much easier in this game (even outside of these cash cow locations) that's it's really not a challenge to earn the credits needed for much of anything anymore.

('Tell that to the youth of today and they wooont believe you')

And yet money becomes (for some) a point scoring system when the other merit badges have been won.

Maybe I wasn't clear in what I wrote; 50M CR/hour to me seems like instant gratification because it's almost easy to make that much money, especially if you're willing to exploit certain game design decisions. I think that the game's already too easy in a lot of ways.

It took me 3 years to get my Corvette, and I still haven't earned my first billion CR.

I think it took me a good bit longer to buy my Python, forget about outfitting it. The oldest Python photo in my screenshot folder is from Dec 2015.

Not sure about them changing the distance multiplier for those PAX missions.

The station I just moved away from was still offering $9+ million runs to it's long supercruise destination. Not sure if people are just knee jerking from Fdevs announcement and assume it is all done.

I never board hopped even once, I just filled up my ship with whatever passengers I could, jumped between stations a few times to pick up extra missions and headed out. Most I earned was $37 million for one trip.

Anyway, those missions are still available, or were last night.
