Essential Carrier Services for Remote Outpost?

So, I've decided to leave the bubble long-term. Gonna be sort of a semi-retirement for my primary/FC owning account. I'm setting up in a system about half-way to Colonia that I got first discovery credit for. Has two ringed ELW's and about a dozen landables.

The plan is to set the FC up as a tourist trap/fuel station while I spend my time exploring and doing SS & DC mining. I plan to keep my rearm/refuel/repair services and my UC office. Guess I'll add a bar & Vista Genomics but what else would be useful out in the boonies?

I don't see much use for Pioneer... am I wrong?

Vista Genomics is the only service really useful in the Black.

Pioneer Supplies is not that useful. Sure, it's a bit more useful out there than in the bubble (where it's absolutely useless), but not by much.

On foot exploration does not use consumables if one keeps the SRV nearby. A hop in the srv and the suit is fully recharged
Then, the Artemis has the biggest battery of all suits. Modding that Artemis with extra battery and reduced tool battery usage - so even less needed to use consumables.

The bartender is also useless in the Black, but for example i've added all services to my Carriers, just because i didnt want to see all those doors closed

Yeah the Bartender is only good for ambience out there because its adds a few crew bots to make the area not feel like the Event Horizon

That's the only reason I have one, just for me to go and sit while waiting for the jump when I am on board.

Many useful comments above, all based on an analysis of actually usefulness. But to offer another perspective - I didn't install stuff because it makes sense, but just because it makes me happy to have all the things available on my carrier, for me, for my friends, and for anyone else who stops by. We don't always have to overthink everything.

(Of course, I wish some services were cheaper, and some were better considered, but that's a different topic).
