I think there's an unrealistic expectation that discovery should have to be grindy as many/most other online RPGs are.
I really don't think that's necessary. It's good to have a selection of high-priced items to throw cash at, but is there really a necessity to require people to grind money even if they don't want or need to spend any?

Personally, I've never had an issue spending money: battleships are expensive, so are CauVIIs, BS and Spyglass scanners. I think for most people, those are enough of a selection to keep their cash reserves from overflowing - I trade a lot, I mean really a lot, but even with 50 billion in assets I'm nowhere near out of things to buy.

"Punitive" moneydrains that have often been suggested - equipment/ship/money loss on death, conn fees, etc., are probably more discouraging than anything. I don't really see a problem with the economy as it is, except some balance aspects of it.
