Yeah, and money's trivial since the advent of core mining. Honestly, I think if I were to start over I could have any non-rank-locked ship inside 3 days.
Things were different 3 years back. I don't begrudge new players this fact, but money's no issue these days. I have billions and nothing I want to buy.....
No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

I've only been playing the game for a few months and I currently have 1.5 billion in my treasury. Having a void opal and alexandrite hot spot location helped a lot.

I think Frontier should try to make a deal with Disney and CBS/Paramount in order to get Star Wars and Star Trek ships into the game. I guarantee that the number of registered players for the game would sky rocket. Want a Star Destroyer or a Sovereign class Federation ship? It's yours for just 10 billion credits.

I was a ship collector, but sold more than half of them. Bo's simple approach to fleet composition showed me the light. The T-9 was sold way before that

I play Solo almost exclusively, with just a bit of PG.
I love my Type-9. Great cockpit views, hauling capacity, and it's just all around fun.
For mining, when I last played IIRC I've got my Corvette setup for that role. Previously it had been outfitted for Thargoid killing (battled a few Cyclops, but never scored the full kill).
Of all the ships though, my Cobra Mk3 has to be the "daily driver". So versatile.

Yeah, more agile, better view (especially overhead), faster. Tradeoff is cargo capacity, but that's not an issue for me any longer since hitting trade Elite. And for core mining it holds plenty. I bought a snazzy new paint job for it too. For me to do that, I must plan to keep it.
Best all-rounder in Elite I reckon.

I like my combat Krait, but I prefer my Python for core mining. I like the larger hold, and I carry a LOT of limpets.
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck.” -Robert Heinlein
