The video reviews the Anvil Aerospace Terrapin Medic in Star Citizen 3.24, highlighting its design as a medical ship with a focus on future gameplay potential rather than immediate performance. While it offers good defensive capabilities and a clean interior, its limited firepower and cargo space make it less ideal for profit-driven players, leading to a recommendation to wait for a better price before purchasing.
The video provides a comprehensive review of the Anvil Aerospace Terrapin Medic in Star Citizen 3.24, highlighting its potential as a medical ship. The review is structured into five sections: a ship tour, combat performance, handling and visibility, operating costs, and a summary. The Terrapin Medic is characterized as a ship that currently offers more potential for future gameplay than immediate performance, especially with its focus on medical functionality.
The ship tour begins with an overview of the Terrapin Medic’s exterior and entry points. The reviewer notes the decorative ground fuel port and the hidden door that leads into the ship. Inside, the medical section features a medical bed, storage areas, and various component access points, all designed with a clean and sterile aesthetic. The cockpit is also examined, where the pilot has access to basic combat controls, including a nose turret with size 2 weapons and emergency lights.
In terms of combat performance, the Terrapin Medic is equipped with limited firepower, primarily suited for engaging smaller targets. It has two size 2 shield generators that provide strong defense against smaller craft, along with a generous hit point pool. The review mentions that while the ship can withstand attacks, its primary role is supportive rather than offensive, aligning with its medical purpose.
Handling and visibility are discussed next, with the reviewer noting that the cockpit offers good sightlines, although visibility below is limited. The ship’s speed and maneuverability are also highlighted, revealing that it struggles to maintain speed and perform sharp turns. However, it can achieve decent progress when navigating to medical emergencies due to a high nav limiter. The quantum drive performance is satisfactory, allowing for multiple crossings of Stanton before needing a refuel.
Finally, the video addresses the operating costs and potential for earning credits with the Terrapin Medic. While the ship is affordable to operate, the reviewer suggests that it may not be the best choice for players looking to maximize profit through gameplay loops, given its limited cargo space and lack of weaponry. The Terrapin Medic’s price, starting at $200 out-of-game, is considered steep for its current capabilities, leading the reviewer to recommend waiting for a credit price before purchasing. Overall, the Terrapin Medic is appreciated for its design and potential, but players are advised to consider their gameplay needs before investing.
