Hahaha that made me laugh.
I also didn't have that hard a time. I started off with trading just to get some money for better parts. It got boring but I made some nice cash, you just have to find 2 or 3 stations close to one another that have commodities that the other station(s) want.
I haven't played the game in quite a bit though, I got bored with just trading, or trying to do a bounty but the bounty was against an Anaconda and I had a Eagle.
