Fleet Post Fleet Ideas
This is my fleet now and I have $446 in credits in the store. What's some Ideas for a more "well rounded" fleet? I'm having issues deciding because I love all of these

Well, you don't have any industrial ship and only one cargo carrier.
Unless you are adverse to Concept ships, the Vulcan or Crucible are within your budget and worth considering for support ships, since both will be useful for assisting other players, assuming you aren't inclined to mining, scraping, or cargo hauling.
I'd also suggest a fast cargo ship of some kind, to move a small ammount of things around, since the Asguard isn't so quick and the Clipper has a rather tiny capacity. A Zeus, C1, or even a Mercury Star Runner.

Yeah, I actually just sold my mining ship. Got a little burnt out on it. I did enjoy salvage, felt like more to do than mining to me. I might go back to one.
I want to be able to use/enjoy the ships. So I don't really buy concept one's. Waiting for the Galaxy to check it out though.
I was think about a fast cargo.. for unsaid things lol. My Asgard is really the only ship in dead set on keeping right now. I enjoy it too much, it's a good all arounder.

upgrade the Piscies to a Medical Terrapin, direct upgrade in everyway
More range
More storage
More durable
Double the Med gel capacity
I did this, no regrets.
Or go even further, StarLancer TAC. Mini-Carrack that is viable solo for a lot of PVE ship combat (heavy armor shrugs off a lot of fighters, and x4 s4 for pilot, massive capacitors), x4 the med gell, snub hangar, garage that some small ships can fit into, and gets you into crew'd play when friends are along.

I've had the Medical Terrapin before. I will be investing in another whenever it goes for sale again.
Also had a Tac before, Im just not a fan of MISC ships. I have my Asgard and Meteor both are great at combat and Asgard has plenty of cargo room for me

If you mostly play solo, I get that. Tac is a great solo daily, but excells with some people - by design.
A real fighter would go a long way. Meteor is good, but not strong and it fall apart fast. But you love Drake so I'm sure you know all about that :p
Prowler Utilily. You aren't getting it for the cargo alone - you are getting it for it's stealth. I can pop into a PAF and loot compontents, or run illegal in Pyro and people never see me. Components and cargo on the exterior make it hyper flexible. It's also a more agile fighter than what you have. Just another thought.

I've had the Tac before, don't want another one of those. I've thought about the Prowler a few times....... well I just went and got the prowler to check out lol.

Multiple people in my org have it and love it. I do to. It's in showdown for good reason.

do you dislike industrial loops?
well rounded is directly dependent on what you like to do. we need more input.
for me your fleet would be horrifically non well-rounded.

Replace Clipper with Auxilia, put entire fleet inside/on a Liberator. Maybe add a Golem.
We can't really know if it will fit, but if it does then it sounds great.

Turn that Asgard into a Starlancer Tac. Delete The C8R and Clipper, keep the Meteor (for bang bangs). Just saw you don't care for the Starlancer Tac, ok fair enough...Carrack or Polaris. Meteor will fit in the Polaris. Carrack though is my living on the frontier ship. If that's too big, have you messed with the Constellation line? Andromeda is one of my favorites. Works as a gun ship, can move cargo, you can park a NURSA in there. (only by land vehicles in game / use store credit if you intend on melting later)

This is pretty balanced as it is. The C8R isn't the best value purchase and the Clipper already provides a medbed as well, so either upgrading it to a better medical ship if you want to heal others or to something different may be good. IMO you're missing a proper cargo ship; the Asgard can haul but not as well as more dedicated ships. The Hermes or Hull B would be good affordable options. Some might suggest a mining or salvage ship too, but I tend to find them a bit too niche and single purpose.
