In the video titled “HARD PILL TO SWALLOW - MEDICAL TERRAPIN BUYERS GUIDE | STAR CITIZEN,” hosts Execute and Astro Pub discuss the recently released Medical Terrapin ship in the game Star Citizen. They begin by sharing their experiences and health conditions, setting a casual tone before diving into the ship’s details. The Medical Terrapin has been a long-awaited addition, and while some players are excited about it, others remain skeptical about its practicality and usefulness in gameplay.
Astro Pub highlights that the Medical Terrapin serves a specific role as a battlefield rescue ship, emphasizing its smaller footprint compared to larger medical ships like the Apollo. He explains that the game’s mechanics are shifting towards a model where players may not die as frequently, thus the ship’s design should focus on rescuing players who are incapacitated rather than outright dying. The Medical Terrapin’s ability to fit into smaller hangars adds to its versatility, making it suitable for combat scenarios.
Despite its advantages, Execute expresses concerns about the Medical Terrapin’s design, particularly the lack of dedicated seating for medical personnel and the absence of a drone for patient retrieval. He compares it to the Cutlass Red, another medical ship, which he believes offers better functionality and storage. The hosts discuss the pricing of the Medical Terrapin, noting that at $220, it seems high compared to other options like the Cutlass Red and Apollo, which provide more comprehensive medical capabilities for a lower cost.
The conversation shifts to the ship’s armor and combat capabilities, with Astro Pub suggesting that the Terrapin is designed to be more tanky and stealthy, allowing it to operate in hostile environments. However, they both agree that more detailed information about the ship’s armor and overall effectiveness is needed to justify its price point. The lack of a clear understanding of how its armor stacks up against other ships adds to their skepticism about its purchase.
In conclusion, the hosts encourage viewers to weigh their options carefully before investing in the Medical Terrapin. They suggest considering alternatives like the Cutlass Red or Apollo for those looking for a more reliable medical ship. They invite viewers to share their thoughts on the Medical Terrapin’s role as a combat medical ship and whether it holds up against its competitors. The video wraps up with the hosts promoting their channels and encouraging audience engagement.
