I have considered it, but seeing as my largest ship is a starfarer, I cannot see a need for it myself.
are you going to buy an Argo?

I must have one. It reminds me of a baby bunny.
from what I seen on it, It's a small cargo transport. you would use it to taxi cargo from ship to ship or ship to dock (with ship still in space) that comes with a passenger pod

Will their be a crazy space taxi side mission?
No? Then I guess I will avoid temptation...

I plan on getting one because, just imagine; a HULL E pulls into dock. An army of Argoses(Argi?) approach to begin offloading cargo. Nobody will suspect that one of these little ships is not a member of the dock crew, but instead a "goods procurement specialist". The lone Argo casually removes cargo containers and, instead of depositing them at their intended destination, they are loaded onto a waiting ship piloted by trusted TEST smugglers...... I mean trusted TEST legitimate business personnel.
But the external containers that fit to my hull series are self propelled aren't they? No need for a 10 players with Argos. Get back to taxying drunk people around boys!!! :D

Ok........... Plan B. When somebody in their HULL with it's rich and upidy self propelled cargo containers pulls up, you fly out and grab the first container you see, EMP the crap out of it, and BAM. Easy-ish money. And in that fails, move to Plan C... BOOZE RUNS!!!!

On a less..... criminal note. The Argo could be useful for "around the town" type utility runs. Like making trips to the salvage yard to get parts for one of your more valuable ships, or ferrying packages across a planet's surface without having to fly a much larger, more awkward freighter around in cramped spaces. Kinda like a spacey pickup truck.
I'm a redneck, cant argue the use of a space pickup truck. that idea has me thinking.

If trading or long haul freight is gonna be your primary occupation, it might be worth looking into. The Starfarer is a nice ship (if I could afford a Gemini I would snap one up in a heart beat), but it's size can also work against it. Let's say you make a delivery on Earth in London, but one container needs to be delivered to Berlin. The cost of flying the Starfarer to Berlin for one package would be outrageous. It's like delivering pizzas in a Kenworth.
Delivering pizzas in a Kenworth would be AWESOME! But I catch your drift. I have 2 Freelancers, 1 Hull B, 1 Hull C, a Caterpillar AND a Star G. But nothing for those small, in-atmosphere city to city runs that is even remotely economical. I think you have found the niche for the Argo.
Gotta create a clone of the uber app and make is SC focused and real in game ability of getting taxi runs...
What do you mean my pilot rating is only a 1.... So maybe I was flying drunk and bumped into a javelin or two.... Thing just jumped in front of me....

Uber glass could be the next big thing
That's what my Reliant is for :D Amongst other things. (tiny bar/brothel for one person)
