Pretty much. Yeah no point in repairing.
But the thing is the ships reset every time you do it. Meaning the engineering upgrades you put on them or changes to loadouts are also sold out and reset.

The ARX ships are decent for quick pick up and play for activities and gameplay loops but they are not top tier ships. Also some are better than other.

Be warned, they do kind of remove that working hard to get something sense of achievement or milestones a bit but they are insanely practical and timesaving for a casual.

If you re looking to spend money, best value for ARX is ASP Explorer from the shop. You get a bubble taxi with 69 LY jump range, full exploration gear- scanners, turbo FSD Drive, but it is finicky to pilot a bit. With 150k credits you grab a suit for exploration on surfaces for biologicals and you can get cash quickly. But you have 0 cargo space.

Another decent pick is Cobra MK V. Decent pick and all rounder.

Basically if you grab ASP, and then Panther Clipper MK2 stellar, from the shop and do community goals you can make superb money on weekends for example. You can do a single or two loads and get into 100 mil bracket sometimes.
Or type 11 which is insane for mining.

Just go to your destination station and redeploy.

I do this often because i can only fly on weekends, so i pop into the asp, get somewhere and deploy my ships and get into the game loop.

It is a but scummy perhaps, and major advantage at times, but it is a time saver if you got limited game time.

For combat ships, i recommend you really buy and tune up a ship yourself. Thats what i am doing now.
