If you did start the game just this summer then 10M is not bad at all. Just keep doing what you've been doing.

A lot of us have been playing for 2 years so there should be surprised if we have a lot more cash than you since we've been at it 12 times as long.

Luck, dedication and using what you have available. I say the first 10m is the hardest. I made 10m over a period of 1 year. Took my time, did a LOT of dabbling and checking out each profession. Now i use my knowlage and money to help. You need money to make money. I made 10Mil, i then went shopping, picked up a Armour attatchment for 2 mil on a vendor, sold it for 5mil on forums. 3Mil profit for doing very little. You need to keep an eye on your trade forum - i used the ahazi forum to see a rise in demand of certain items that hadn't fully filtered into the game, i purchased as many of these items as i could and sold out on the forums as people realised the demand and increased the prices. That is the using what you have available section. Also if you see someone spamming ADK for 9/10Mil, and you have the moeny buy it there and then - you can sell it for 15mil on the forums if you are on a rich galaxy like ahazi.

The luck section is going out on a whim and trying for rare loot. I occasionally go out flying after a Black sun ace pilot helmet, i know my odds of finding one are so low i probably won't ever get one, but there is a chance i may and if i do, pow, 80mil in the bank. Go out looking for rare loot, and as above look on the forums for what is in demand. As a MBH i go out and hunt like crazy to see if i can get a rare SEA or other loot. Past 2 days i had probably 200k loot, which is poor, but today i looted some power cells that are going for 7mil in a forum auction now - i was lucky to get them, but also dedicated, as i kept at bh'ing, and slowly became very efficient at it - i adk'd my gun so no costs for each mission there, my armour is good, but not so good as to be very expensive and i use no foods, this means i only spend on droids, which is 2 droids a hunt at 100cr each, that's 200cr cost to get 31k mission payout, 1-2k cr in loot and upto 15mil worth of rare loot. I became efficient at it so i can do 2 hunts in the time it took me to do one, this will be the same with any profession as you learn more, become more efficient and more established - one-off costs such as adking a gun or getting a good aa or ca will improve profits in the long run.

Just experiment at what you can do over and over again and stick to it - you only really make money as a master at something - combat or crafting, don't give up half way. Use your money wisely, if you have a profitable time invest in something to stockpile - i have 15mil worth of items in my house i won't sell unless i get low on funds or need lots of money to invest in something else. Treat the game like a stock market, invest and sell at the right time and price.

That's my 160mil creds worth, just some advice that worked for me. I can earn 10mil/hour if i need to, but i have no need and so don't unless i get desperate. A tip if you get loadsa money in a combat prof - adk your gun and armour - this means you never need to spend money on them again unless something much newer and better comes along to replace your current stuff.
