Medical, and it needs a version that provides VIP transport like an armored limo. I'd say dropship, but honestly we have plenty already. Otherwise, a specialized EWAC version, maybe?
I have an illogical love for the Terrapin. Everything you said is true. It’s badly overpriced and has some glaring holes and bugs (e.g., the door has stranded me on multiple occasions). But, I bought one on pledge and I can’t see myself ever melting it. Please CIG, give it some more speed, give it some additional utility beyond just scanning. It would be a great small drop ship if it had 4 additional seats. A medical variant would also make sense as others have said.
It's a cool little ship that has a considerable fan following. I don't really do anything with mine other than the odd box delivery mission but I hold out hope that they revisit the chassis and make a different kind of ship out of it. Maybe a little lab in back to make a science ship out of it or an ambulance/search and rescue focus could be cool.
Based! 150 dollars Max! Bro i cant wait until you get to the MSR. That scanner room should be the server room, and the components should be in the tunnels in strategic areas with the proper circuit breakers. That engineering room should be another smuggler spot... while the scanning dish seat removed entirely and give scanning to the co-pilot or as a station in the cock pit. There is so much wasted space in the MSR that its ridiculous. The MSR needs a Second Exit too CiG!!! You promised!
100% agree on the needed improvements to this. Remove the stupid chair and have a standing station on the side, where there is already a console. Add a cargo grid and more complete kitchen/living setup. Increase SCM speed and weapon size (4 x 2S missiles would be great too). I would be very happy with it then. This was the 2nd ship that I purchased when I found out about this game years ago and I still love it, but it could be modernized to keep up with the current state of the game.
I really think this ship would suit a ranger bike variant built into the far wall as you walk in. Actuvate it and it pops out and spins to face the ramp so you can do some ground recon. Get rid of the centre chair and put some SCU plates either side of the pilot walkway
The Terrapin is my favorite ship. Now if they would just get rid of that stupid seat in the middle, it would be perfect. It does need some help. I like your recommendations for the ship. Replacing the scanning seat with a small cargo grid or drop seats would be fantastic. It'd be a great medivac too. Drop into a hotzone, swoop up the injured, take off under fire, no problem. I use it as my daily driver even with that stupid scanning seat. It has enough room to hold cargo, but that seat, man... I know I'm repeating myself, but that seat really holds the ship back. I know it's probably balance considerations, they want such a small ship with such a good scanner to have some weakness, but for $220, I think they can afford to let the pilot use the scanner from the pilot seat...
The price on the terrapin could be what it is due to that CIG might have plans for it to be modular like the retaliator, the future possibilities could give it a module that could replace the scanner for a manned turret that has 2 size 5 cannons on it making it a tank or even replacing the scanner with a T3 med bed for possible rescue services. This ship has some amazing potential!
I'd love the Terp if they'd trade the stupid useless chair in the middle for a little storage. Just a few SCU or space for a quad. That would make it so much more useful.
This little tortoise is too cool. Buy one with credits. I want a medivac variant with a port in the floor and a dropship variant with a second door and second belly turret. I'd buy a terrapin fleet.
I agree 5/10 however it’s an in game purchase. This ship has no game loops at the moment. It has lots of future game play loops with scanning but nothing at the moment. I can’t see it going up in price. I would get two or three other ships for that price.
It is worth it to me when you can fit a Nox in it. Sadly, that varies from patch to patch... nothing can be relied on in this game, other than the fact that there will be bugs.
The reason this ship is expensive, is because they don't want it to be too common It is a fantastic looking ship, and everyone would want one But do we want everyone to have one? No. It should be on the rare side
This ship in lore doesn't match what we have. It's unfortunate because it's in my heart. The lore said it was supposed to have good firepower, not 2 shit guns. If they put 2 size 4s or something on it I'd use it over maneuverable fighters for almost everything.
Sometimes I think CIG are full of people on drugs… because they do things that make no sense… This ship could be amazing like a lot of ships in the verse then CIG purposely does things to ships to screw it up…
This needed a medical version before the Pieces did

@@comicmoniker that can be cool kind of like 'the beast', aka the presidential limo
I can see so many options for variants on this thing.
I would love a pirate version of this

Same here. I have no use for it but it will be the first ship I purchase in game. I love that little turtle. A medical variant would be perfect!

I'd love to see it launch a scanning drone, as a kind of starter to learn drone skills before using the upscale ones on the Carrack or the Reclaimer.

True, thats why I don’t bother with that ship anymore. Rip.

🐢 vote terrapin best in show 2024🐢
My cutter scout will be CCUed into this, only if I can work a nice chain on it.
I love the design of the Terrapin, sooo wish they would make a useful variant of it.

NEEDS VARIANTS!
Maybe this will see more use when exploration is fleshed out. The vtol will be super useful exploring alien worlds
Terrapin Diamondback Gunship, cannon turtle would be sweet. You could choose between a huge gun or a turret for alternate utility.

Okay, so what's the difference between scanners and radars??? I think CIG is dropping 'scanning' from their ships. the Zeus ES doesn't have a scanner.
When you turn shields and weapons off it is really hard to detect.
sweet little turtle!
❤ 💯

The turtle ship is nice looking, wish it had more firepower.
Honestly love the shit out of this little ship. I’d happily have a medical variant.
I love the ship theres just not a game play loop for it worth anywhere near what the price they're asking for it.
Someone who does need this ship:
Anyone with a large fleet or capital ship. This will keep your capital ships alive.
I dont need it, but, i really wanted it, and it comes with the package i bought
🐢
My favorite ship in the game right now
Isn't it friggin cool! I can't wait to use it in game as my to and from ship!
It is worth it to me when you can fit a Nox in it.

Turtle time
It's waay overpriced IRL, it should be $100 less.
