Seconded -- especially the Premium Spectre Pack part. (Though I'm a little uncertain about whether you can play without all the latest DLC; certainly you won't be able to play the deleted DLC maps.) Also, play on the highest difficulty you can reliably complete, in order to bring in the credits. Don't forget that even if you spend consumables on Gold or Platinum and have to buy a Jumbo Equipment Pack, as long as you don't use so much that you're buying one every match (or even if you do buy one every match on Platinum!), you're still making more money per hour than if you spent no consumables on a lower difficulty.
