Blizard's wow is a subscription based game. They make money on the time spent by players to reach level 80 or whatever the level is now.
Discovery is not and I suggest you do not use such comparison's in the future.
Point is, the RP evolves around money, what ship you feel is best for your RP and while anyone an buy a fighter for 2 mil and have fun, we must take into account that pvp is the major part of the gaming experience on Disco, so that is where the rest of the 22 millions go into.
Point is, discovery is too dependent on the time you spent ingame. Perhaps I would be doing well in a transport for my RP, but sorry, I need to grind up the money for it first. Unless I have a couple of hours I want to waste on pixel ships, I really have to choose between good RP and powertrading/mining.
In my own position, I have the rare awesome case that I have time for both my jobs and Freelancer as well. Others do not.

PSA: If you have been having stutter/FPS lag on Disco where it does not run as smoothly as other games, please look at the fix here: https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...pid2306502
