Rob, can you clarify the market, buying/selling units, and buying/selling components at an off the grid world?

Off-grid doesn't matter as far as AtB is concerned.  The only time you don't get market access is during certain mission types, notably guerilla campaigns.

FWIW:

Planetary Assault:  Extremely high ops tempo, especially in the first week-ish of the contract.  Often requires an initial hot-drop.  OPFOR is weighted heavier-than-average.
Pirate Hunting: Extremely slow ops tempo, with mostly recon-type missions.  Basically, you're looking for the pirate base.  Almost always ends in either a base assault or in a large field engagement.  Tends to want to build scenarios with lots of TacOps rules, since pirates pull dirty tricks.  Highest proportion of special solo missions in the game.  Also, FWIW, pirate gear isn't inherently garbage: it's most likely to roll on Periphery General, but can roll on *any* era-appropriate RAT for unit determination.  I'll admit I'm curious as to what an A-rated pirate outfit looks like.
Garrison Duty: WILDLY variable, but even so, you're basically always going to have ~6 months straight of downtime in there, so it's good for large-scale refitting.

I agree this should likely come down to being between MARATHON and SLAMMER.  My personal preference lends itself to SLAMMER, because I think the upside is higher; D-rated Drac gear isn't too compelling.

i vote slammer lets hunt some pirates

I am heavily leaning toward SLAMMER unless there are major issues.

Executive Decision
We go with SLAMMER. I hate pirates. I see A rated pirates as an affront. I want to break their bodies, drink their scotch, and take their toys.

Slammer it is then.

Contracts remain valid up to the 15th of the month.  What Jon is doing is ensuring ya'll have maximum time to get factory work done.

i see

[ItsTehPope]

only issue with the lack of market is the lack of battle loss comp

Market doesn't affect BLC. Having access to the market allows us to buy units and hire personnel. I believe we would also be unable to sell stuff. BLC is a contract term that would apply regardless, but is only accounted for at the end of the contract.

ok in that case slammer might not work if we cant sell that salvage right away

We just see the salvage again and shoot at it once more.
