I have an asp with a few upgrades and 7 million credits and am still enjoying it. If you trade (which is the only way to make lots of money) it's very much a passive game. If you do it in Solo mode you can just listen to some music and chill out while escaping the occasional NPC interdiction.
The problem is the game needs more. It's mostly a first person space trading simulator right now with the option to bounty hunt or pirate when you feel like it. A lot of the fun is in finding good trade routes. There's no big wars, no faction rivalries, no plot or story (plenty of small ones though), no major galactic discoveries yet (there will be hostile aliens at some point though), no planetary landings or walking around on stations, no reason to ever fly an Orca (a passenger ship), etc.
I only play an hour or two every day or every other day. It's all the time I have to play anything until the weekend.
