Any consensus on what equipment / suits will be needed for explorers outside the bubble? I know the Artemis suit is a must have for exploring footfall enabled planets outside the bubble, but will there be any need for the Maverick suit to salvage wrecks of crashed explorers that were outside the bubble exploring like us? Are we likely to encounter hostile armed NPCs facilitating the need for a Dominator suit, and any weapons for that matter? Just curious because I'm not into FPS gameplay and I'm not looking to play Battlefield 3307 ™, but I am interested in FPE (first person exploration) so if I only need to upgrade an Artemis suit and no other suits or weapons, that would be great.

I'm an explorer at heart so I've never really been into the trade and combat aspects of Elite. I only have elite in trade from doing passenger missions, and dangerous in combat to access that one engineer, other than those I've dedicated 95% of my playtime (not counting earning credits for ships / fleet carrier & upkeep costs / engineers and mat gathering) to exploration. If I don't need to spend the time upgrading suits and weapons I'll never need, I'd just rather not do it. Or like I said, I'm not interested in playing Battlefield 3307™
I have all suits but when coming to hostile encounters sentries (or whatever those flying drones are called) and turrets I've used the cannons on the srv.
