I don't know if something changed since beta but its 95 credits at level 10-20 to send him out and he comes back with 75-120 credits plus usually a lockbox while treasure hunting. I have sent him out about 40 times now and got about 15 green items and 5 blues.

Then you also need enough of the archaelogy materials to level up your artificing.
You need 44k at lvl 25 to get your speeder, and keeping crafting up to where you can make worthwhile equipment while saving that much is quite the task.
I'm not saying it's not possible. For example, you could sell some of your treasure hunting resources on the AH, or reverse engineer some artificing thing until it's useful enough for people to pay credits for it (purple quality). But slicing for lockboxes is just the easiest way to generate money if you don't want to deal with selling stuff on the galactic trade market.
