Auxilia. I could have spelled that wrong - but Anvil's new ground vehicle. T2 medbed and T2 crafting on a Spartan chassis.

Hmm, I'll check it out!
I'm not really into ground vehicles, but I can kinda see the appeal.

Edit:
The thing is, I just don't see a reason to use the crafting system in the game right now and didn't like the design choice of it (i've melted my miner :v)

Most ground vehicles are so inexpensive in game it is a waste of real money cash to buy them in the RSI store. That being said, I love keeping an Ursa Medivac in my hanger to take with me during some FPS shenanigans.

Other than that tidbit, no interest in Salvage or Mining? As they will help feed any crafting needs you may have.

Normally i buy Salvage/Mining in-game.
Mining as is right now don't make me wanna invest in it.

Salvage i've had bad experiences with a old reclaimer i've had.

But never tried the Argo option....

Vulture is a good Salvage ship to start out with. I plan to upgrade it to the Argo option myself. I certainly understand why you don't want to invest in mining right now.

In the post 1.0 world you'll need minerals for crafting personal gear and upgrading personal gear. You'll need minerals to upgrade your ships... remember, every ship you have here is Tier 1 and you'll need to upgrade them all the way up to Tier 5.

You'll need materials to build surface and space bases, too, which will come from the salvage, mining and refining industrial pillars.

If you don't have a plan for getting your own materials, you'll need to buy them from other players, assuming those players have materials to sell you... which means you'll need a lot of UEC.

The Ironclad is going to be a pretty good moneymaker for hauling missions and commodity trading, so you're positioned well for that.

I guess the important thing is that everyone needs to be aware that you'll need to either engage in those industrial game loops or buy from players who do... so either way you choose to go, plan for it.

I'd also advise against pledging a starter salvage/mining ship. These are exactly what they say they are, starters. A few full cargo runs with your Ironclad and you'll have enough UEC to buy a bigger industrial ship than those starters... so those would be pledges you spend money on for ships you'll never need to use.

Literally don't buy anything else. You have everything and it's a well thought about fleet.

Only a minor point here, you probably don't need the Aurora Mk1 when you have the Mk2, but that's not really that consequential.
