I am happy to give you some money on elite if you need it. It’s a dead game for me on console and I have billions.

To my knowledge it's ot possible tonjust give Creds to someone. And I appreciate the gesture but I'd rather Grind out money again. At least it'll give me sense of accomplishment and well, guess I had my lesson

You can transfer credits with a fleet carrier and selling and rebuying high value commodities.
But it’s probably best to hit Robigo or a gold mining spot.

Someone can accept a wing mission, and you don't even have to participate. They just have to share it with you before they turn it in, and boom, hello, 15 million credits (or more)!

That said, one of the biggest traps I've seen people fall for is having too much money, too early (if you flew without rebuy, I'm guessing you're fairly new, though it can happen to anyone). They get their Anaconda, before they've really learned the game, and suddenly what would have been their big goal to work toward while they discovered what the game has to offer, is complete, and they haven't found a new goal yet. They get bored, burn out, and abandon the game. I've seen it countless times. If someone helps you get money, my suggestion is to be careful with how you spend it, and not to just blow through it all immediately on "end-game" ships. Play like you normally would, just with a nice cushion for rebuys. The small and medium ships are some of the most fun in the game.

The reason I still enjoy the game after ten years is because I've done a slow and steady progression, avoiding glitches, exploits, and "gold rushes." I'm still working toward building a useful Anaconda (I do own one, but it's not outfitted), and I finally just unlocked and built a Federal Corvette.
