Not played in years, play now or wait for the free Horizons expansion to earn credits.

OK, so like a Python next maybe? ~250M in the bank?
Someone will probably say something about mining. I assume that's a thing in the base game too. I haven't mined, but just look up a video on YouTube. Should fit the bill.
There’s plenty of activity in Horizons for players with small credit balances.
Personally i’d avoid searching for activities that make you billions quickly, you’ll be shelving the game again in no time...
From credits POV I'd say go now. Players are, rightfully, complaining combat isn't worth the squeeze creditwise. I'm "worried" the devs will not adress that but nerf mining into the ground instead. With Painite mining I still make nice turnovers. 180 - 210 from 1 session in my Python mining build (depending on the demand prices). I'd say: better have it and not need it instead of v.v.
"Play now, or wait for Tuesday?" 
"Play now, or wait for Tuesday?"
The question puzzled me a little too mate...?!
If FDev just "nerf" rather than address actual problems, they're going to lose another customer.
FDev would do far better to fix the damn economy.
5 billion for an FC yet they want this to take how long?
All the missions are stupidly low pay considering my rank progression.
500 k to kill a pirate?
40 k to transfer data?
10 mil for 4000 tons of fish?
At that rate, it's not happening.
Kill Elite ships in a Haz Res nets me about 1 million per hour. Ship spawn rate is dire, and nothing I can do.
It seems from past comments, mining is working as expected, but the only problem I've seen is with how cores actually spawn into the instance. They frequently pop up literally in my face.
That can't possibly be right!
I have a fast computer and good internet, if you're wondering.

This is my personal take. If there is something that you can enjoy while playing the game. Then you should do that. If that means buying the upgrade then do that. If you would rather wait, that is also fine.
Personally, I am sitting on a tiny cache of Low temperature diamonds that I still can't sell at even a reasonable value because Fdev do not have any employee's capable of working their code infrastructure. Proof of that is that they took over 3 weeks to fix it while leaving the game completely broken. The only solution, give Fleet carrier owners some free fuel. While everyone else were completely not worth a moment of their time. To me, this means the game isn't worth playing. This means that Fdev isn't worth respecting, caring about, or even interested in supporting. Incompetence does not warrant respect, and respect of a company is earned not granted.
I never cheated. I never exploited. I never mined in some massive wing. I spent hours and hours of my life expecting a measured outcome. That outcome was then thrown into the garbage heap by Frontier to thwart the people who milked the exploits. That is how they treat their customers. They don't punish the people who took advantage of a system. They punish everyone.
So yeah. For me, this game isn't fun, engaging, or interesting. It is purely just designed to waste players time and to keep as many active clients possible so they can leverage those numbers to banks and such. This game isn't supportive of the player. It is only designed for their stockholders.
