ok, if a friend gives ya a million dollars, which he earned and traded for, within 5 minutes of you creating your character, you are called a cheater.

ok, let's look at this realisticly, if you are in fact a freelancer with several million bucks, flying around in space, you find someone you like (a friend) you give him a loan to get him a ship so he can accompany you on your exploits. ya give him the cash, take him down to the local wheeling and dealing used ship sales lot, pick him out a ship. Now he is indebted to you, and you take it out of his hide for the next 2mil that he earns.

After all, if you can make a mil selling engine part to the zoners, ya figure, "If i only had 2 humpbacks, i could make twice as much". So what do ya do, get a friend in on it. or ya start up Bubbas freighting company, with a 1 mil starting INVESTMENT.

some call it cheating because they aren't the one getting the mil loan.
Once ya have the best ship ya can find in the game, ya earn alot of money, some folks just have a nurturing personality, like to take in strays and teach them the ropes.



if the first person has infact recieved all that cash from a mod or hack, then that is a different issue.
