Mmm, your math isn't quite adding up correctly.
A Lakon Type 6 costs 1 million credits. That's a sum that can be collected in several hours of taking missions, and doing trades in a Hauler.
A fully decked Lakon Type 6 can have 112 cargo. A few cargo runs will let you max out the cargo hold capacity. If you have a 700 cr / ton round trip trade route, that's 78,400 cr profit. Let's say it takes you 15 minutes to do this round trip, which is a conservative time frame. That means you can do 4 runs an hour, which translates to 313,600 cr per hour. That is saying that you only do this trade run, and never take any missions that will net you more credits.
It will take you about 55 hours to make the 17,500,000 for that Type 7. If you play 2 hours a day, it will take you roughly a month before you're piloting a type 7. Once you get that Type 7, you can outfit it to 232 cargo, and now you're making almost 700,000 cr / hr with that same run.
Now it will take 109 hours to get the 76 million for the Type 9. At 2 hours a day, it will be about 2 months before you're in the pilot seat of that Type 9.
I don't see this as unreasonable at all given you're only playing 2 hours a day, and all you're doing is a 700cr / ton trade run every 15 minutes. You can make more money by finding a better trade run and / or taking hauling missions.
