nah, it takes way longer unless you know perfectly well where to get ore from and where to run it.
From scratch, no knowledge of current meta and trade routes, i used 10 hours, from a Sunburst to a Junker Wrecker (31m).
I had no clue where to buy ore, where to run it, etc.
Sure, i could ask around, and i think i could have gotten further, faster, if i had found a good ore run to do.
But at best, from scratch, brand new player, no knowledge of game, i'd say you need about 7 hours to get a Firefly (39m) 3600 Cargo. From there, you'll easily amass the remaining 120m needed for a 5k'er in just under 3-4 hours of ore running.
Reading about the Helium thing with the buoys in Pennsylvania might've helped.
