As in there were 7 people I got to actually try the game, and they quit within the first 4 days because getting to 4mill for a better ship was like a month of grind.
I don't want to sound mean, but if your friends don't want to trade to get the ships/stuff they want, Discovery is probably not for them. Also, what in gods name were they grinding that it took them a month to get 4kk credits?

Helium from behind planet Eire. Cause leaving the system meant getting either jumped by pirates, or getting caught in crossfire. Either way they died.
And what am I gonna say? Same thing happened to me. I just didn't care enough about who's kill number I inflated. I've played FPSrs for years.

I don't what your friends were doing wrong, man, but even though it has been a while, I'm confident getting the first few millions for a small transport doesn't take a month. Did they upgrade their ships inbetween?
EDIT: I just made a brand new character to prove it doesn't take long. I did ONE level 8 mission (very easy) and I get nearly 500k only by selling the 11 Rogue pilots on that station next to Erie. It took less than 15 minutes. Getting started on Discovery has never been easier.
Another EDIT: I started my character less than 90 minutes ago. I did missions in a relaxed manner and am at 3.6m credits now.
the normal route from picardy to delta, and vice versa, takes ... let say 30 minutes!! with that jump hole less than 15!! while people were crying about the nerf of the price of one ore, that i rarely see someone carrying, i in an small transport, carrying less than 2.8k cargo units, made some hundred millions, in very few hours, with normal base stuff!! so ... the economy was very good!!
i still don't know why that someone "wasted" materials to createa jump hole like that ... but thanks
also ... it is easy to get credits ... and don't take so much time, but also ... it it was too easy it would lose most of the fun
