I have almost 400 hours logged in the game. I took a break and didn't really play for almost a year. Now, getting back into it, I struggle to find a gameplay loop I actually enjoy. I usually leave the game frustrated after playing it. Every tutorial I watch goes something like this…
"Yeah so when you start you're gonna wanna get a Python for trading missions…"
How tf do I go from Viper to Python and it not take a year? I wanna make a bunch of credits so I can actually outfit a ship and do missions that I'll enjoy.
Update: Thanks everyone! I've gotten some messages and a LOT of good info. I took a lot of your advice and went from 3mil to 13 mil today in just a couple hours. Commodity trading seems to be fun for me! Now I just need to get in systems faster than other CMDRs so I can get everything before they run down the demand lol!
