In today's terms, it's like being a high school kid and saving your change until you can afford to buy a 1971 Ford Pinto. Then take some pizza delivery jobs and by the weekend you have a fleet of fancy cars, a mansion, and still have a fat bank account. The only thing left to do is retire and have fun (A-Team).
I know it's just a game, but the stupid economics of ED are just ridiculous. I guess FD thinks people will lose interest if they can't get into better ships in the first 15 minutes. I guess I'm just an old white guy with outdated thinking that expects to work hard to earn those new ships and upgrades (real rewards). I think people are more likely to lose interest because the game is too damn easy.
So as long as they are throwing credits in your face just for farting around, I'm going to need to see a lot more content available to draw me back into the game (and, of course, a working system).
Of course, that's all IMHO.

I don't agree that is easy to make fast money. It's a sort of exponential curve.
For example, sure my trading python can earn about 350k+ per trip on a good route, which sounds a lot to a Sidey pilot but if you're saving for a decent spec Anaconda, that's hundreds of millions, then it's a lot of trucking

Well a standard 200t python should pull more than that.
This could help.
