I’m new to the game, something like 26 hours in. I recovered like 4 ships just to scrap for a money boost of around 35 mil or something.

When I scrapped them, credits didn’t go up. Then later as I was organizing inventory, I realized I have to sell the retrieved scrap components to get the credits. So I sold all of them and walked away with over 1 BILLION credits….

I don’t know what happened. I recall at some point in my play gathering stuff from a wrecked freighter on a planet, destroying a frigate in battle, etc, but over 1 BILLION worth?

Is that amount of money normal through storyline+random gameplay or did a bug of some sort perhaps occur?

I’ve been playing for about a week. I played a lot when NMS first came out, and a bit after, but there’s sooooooo much new stuff now.

I see lots of people talking about discoveries, building, ships, etc after they’ve logged hundreds of hours.

So now that you’re hundreds of hours into the game, what is something you wish you had known, or done, when you first started?
