Trainers/cheating
I remember complaining to someone i was with while exploring radiated areas about how much it was going to cost me to repair my ship, as my repair bill was usualy 100k+ after a good time exploring in radiated areas. The person asked me to hold up, brought up the trade screen, and put $80 MILLION credits up!! I asked him how he has it, he told me that he a program he uses LOCKS his credits at 99 million.
I took 500k from the first person. I spent the next day doing trade runs, and built myself up almost 2 mil. I gave back what i had been given (not wanting to use money i havent earned) and didn't really think much of it. I mean, having tons of money is spoiling THERE fun of the game, not mine.
Then, a few days ago, me and another person got into a fight (not the same person as who had unlimited funds) and everything was going fine. I had him down to half hull, and i was just starting to lose my shields. My next couple hits did nothing to him! For the next 8 minutes, we continued to fight, and i kept hitting him, doing no damage, while he steadily worked down my shields and hull.
I ended up losing the fight, and the guy told me that it pays to use trainers.
