Correct they don't show until you've done the mission map they are on, but you can taxi with friends and jump on any they have.
Rhino is from the 2nd boss you encounter you'll have all of his blueprints long before you have the money or materials to craft him annoyingly.
Vauban doesn't really have any room clear abilities just room control, so you still want others who can mass dps. Rhino with his stomp has an excellent horde clearer, surprisingly high dps until stuff scales very high. Nyx again is utility like Vauban and still relies on others to mass murder.
Quite a few frames have a mass dps I win button that will carry you until very end game mobs, ember, rhino, volt, mag etc are all capable of slaughtering en masse.
Randoms are fine online, met 2-3 idiots in a lot of hours played, you get the odd afk'er the odd person playing porn down their mic and the odd troll standing outside of the finish zone to make you wait an unnecessary 15 seconds or so.
Worst thing I come across is people with playstation camera which leaves their mic open, so you hear their kids farting or their mum walking down stairs etc, so I just tend to turn voice off unless with friends or on very hard content that requires coordination.
Very quickly you'll learn you just can't solo a lot of the stuff as a new player and you need to have other bodies there to help kill stuff and revive you, which is why I encourage everyone to view the game as multiplayer preferred at first and solo optional later.
If I have to solo I'll grab rhino or Loki depending on mission or go invincible mode on trinity.
PSN is Farslain btw.
