I'm not sure if the forum will immediately start generating income; auto-equipment for Revan is usually cheap even with efficient sales (and besides auto-equipment, we weren't planning to sell much else, or am I wrong?). But we can ask Revan how much such items usually cost on the market and base our decision on that.
An outpost should rather serve as a safety net. It's not great, but it's better than nothing.
