I'm with roughly 1.5 billion right now, and am still mining and trading. The earned money usually goes into fighter craft of new (npc) factions I'm trying out every now and then. I'm not comfortable with gunboats and flying anything bigger would be very inappropriate to just try another place, so I don't need that much money. Besides I'm paying my escorts quite well which I think makes it more interesting for them too. Being generous can be fun too if you are doing something else than randomly donating money to lowlevels.
I hate credits. They come from soo boring activities. Traaading... Miiiiining... Even piracy feels more boring when you do it for maximum profit. No capital worth that much. And I never had anything bigger than my Salvager, and I never had more money than it was needed to buy one.
I'm completely satisfied with a couple of fighters. You can RP, and you can get away. The Arrow is the best, virtualy indestructable. Is there anyone who saw the destruction of more LFs than capitals?
Where's the 'kill stuff' option?

Meh, don't do it. Whatever you are doing to earn money, don't do it for maximum profit or it will prevent yourself from enjoying in. I've saved my money for several months, almost half a year, to get it to numbers that could most likely be achieved in one or two weeks of powertrading. But then again that wouldn't be any fun.
Trying to find a challenge to myself i've stumbled across CSF. Sadly the 500 cargo hold makes me miss a teammate or just a tad bigger hold.
The 2 years plight and pillaging with a pirate transport, I got tired of it from one way of looking at it.
Being able to escape from danger easily, but having no option to actually fight vs things makes me sad.
CSF can't do those things, but i feel that with this new tech chart I will be able to accomplish more with certain guns and turrets.
As for Kishiro, it is fun to be part of something bigger, especially with fun people that are out in Kishiro and entire Kusari. At the end of OPG I was finding myself isolated and liking it that way. Too many times someone messed up my roleplay and frankly, i didn't need anyone to pirate a trader with me.
These days I find myself looking for a convoy to have fun with
Trading and Mining are both quite fun when RPed and with other people. If I ever got to the point where I was all set for everything, I would continue for that very reason.

All my money is made through pirating (mainly the Kansas miners).:mellow:
Well, I find that having a few hundred million credits in the bank is a good thing.
I trade when I have time or need for credits. On the completely in RP and legitimate trade route I earn about 30 mil per hour, which is more than enough.
I have all of the pre-set messages ready to go, too. I can hold almost a complete conversation with someone simply by pressing a few keys, especially when it's with a pirate.
I trace IPs and hunt and kill rule breakers, to assist the Admin Conspiracy.
Though no Admin has caught me, I cannot be punished for assassinating members, therefore I'm like a vigilante.
Trade, even though I don't need to.
I would still mine, if you do it together with others, its fun; Helping Newcomers with a few credits would be something I could imagine...
