Upgrading Artemis for exploration is useful, but far from being mandatory.
Having the SRV automatically charging the suit and replenishing the ammo, battery and health pool plus the ability to change the loadout feels like biggest cheat since the invention of the save game. Not saying that i dont like it, don't get me wrong
So yea, if you manage to find yourself in a forgotten system, do check to see if you can find a G3 Artemis or a G3 Maverick (if not do get them both even at G1)
I wouldn't go in any exploration ship without both costumes and a full load of energy cell and medpacks.
edit: a n't was missing up there
