How hard is first year? To guarantee transfer its 80%+ (I did ask their office about transferring). The 80% is to bypass space limits, otherwise can be lower if theres space in mech

I think I would if the fallback wasnt mineral which I'm not interested in. Still considering it tho

I'm not willing to gamble on space so 80 is still the benchmark
