Star Citizen | Anvil Terrapin Medical vs C8R vs Cutlass Red

[@jonmonty1]

Small size with that hull hp? its crazy. Tier 2 med bed, better VTOL, this ship is made for docking in mother ship (fit to polaris too).

[@Keiser-h4z]

People always speak of the terrapin medical and other medical ship like its a solo player ship, its a org ship like EVERY SINGLE medical ship, the terrapin is a frontline rescue ship, a CASEVAC, not a simple ambulance like the cutty red or the p8r. you can spray the enemy infantry with 2 gatling before landing to aid ur team on the ground and get them aboard. its litteraly a HH-60W jolly green II with a sht ton of armor. get down quickly, get out quickly. by the time you get down with the cutty red you'll get the engines blown off in 5sec by a mk2 or a random dude on the ground with a railgun or missile launcher, the terrapin can tank it

[@Marlax-101]

The ships point likely will be stealth. Its a ship that can slide into areqs ubdetected and act as a forward field hospital. Or in a group of terrapins as they get close to a target abd drop people off.

[@patriotheropatriothero8939]

The advantage is its tier 2 med bed

[@wizardonthejob]

Why do I care if I can just backspace?

[@jamesinthewild1656]

This is exactly why I bought the terrapin medic. For some reason I love the original terrapin and have always had one since I began playing, this came out, melted og terrapin and bought this. For me the two main advantages are locking cockpit door and t2 medical bed. Yes, if you get too banged up you can always backspace and respawn in a c8r or cutty red, some of us don't play like that. Having a logout bed is nice but not what all of us look for all the time. Hell I am thinking of making my Polaris my daily driver, log out beds and t2 infirmary.

[@ericwollaston5654]

​@wizardonthejob You can do it at much further range if you backspace to it or can heal level 2 injuries, that's the difference. As we move forward and the death degradation starts, then backspacing will not be the best option. In addition to the Hull HP, the Terrapin has twice the shields of the Cutty Red and much more than the Pisces. It's very focused on what it does, and is expensive but will be in game eventually. The heavy armor eventually will make the Terrapin resistant to many guns also.

[@ZimCrusher]

As soon as you can respawn in a bed, the level of the bed makes no difference. If you get an injury the bed cant heal (broken leg), then backspace and respawn in the bed. The cutty red is best ship in the group. It's my daily driver for all bounty and bunker missions. Now if they remove the ability to respawn in low tier beds, THEN, the terrapin becomes more valuable.

[@Sidewayyss_gaming]

​@@wizardonthejob so you don't always want to backspace what if your on a planet without air how you going to get your gear

[@ozramblue117]

It’s a Terrapin. It’s a Turtle! It can land, pick someone up and take off under duress. That’s hull can tank a lot! It also flies quite well. People have been wanting this ship for a long time.

[@Aegis359]

my entire takeway from this video; 7:46 THEY FIXED THE STORAGE ON THE CUTTY'S!

[@threesixtysafari2115]

I've done many missions in the Cutlass Red, Pisces Rescue, Standard Terrapin and Nomad. Against hostile bunkers/wrecks I've always thought , "I wish this Pisces was tougher!" or "I wish the Terrapin had a med-bed!" or "I wish the Cutlass Red was smaller!" Yes, I've actually thought these things. When it comes to landing near a hostile bunker being able to hide behind a small hill is really important. Yes, you can land 2km away and use a vehicle in the Cutlass Red but sometimes when it's pitch black and you're going over a mountain you really don't want to take a drive. The tier 2 bed is a huge improvement over a tier 3. Enemy NPCs are fighting smarter every patch. Also, I believe CIG is going to take away respawn on tier 3 when FPS gameplay becomes stable. That's my take on the Terrapin Rescue. It's a ship for the FPS player going into hostile territory. It's better than a Pisces Rescue in every way and it does a different role than a Red.

[@kyelsavage6296]

I propose a larger version of the Terrapin called the Gamera. The ultimate adventure ship: cargo space, A few drop seats, stealth, two size four guns and a remote turret, gun racks, storage space, log out bed... A man can dream, right.

[@Malember]

The tier 2 medical bed on the Terrapin is better than the tier 3 on the cutty red. Both in terms of the severity of injury it can fix and respawn range (20 vs 50). Also, you couldn't always respawn on a tier 3 bed, and we have to see how this out plays long term. The level of medical care the Terrapin can provide is similar to the Carrack and 890 Jump. If you've been in Pyro you will understand how limiting a tier 3 bed can be at times. You won't always be able to just kill yourself and start over.

[@Sidewayyss_gaming]

i have to disagree on this one i ,have medical terrepin for a daily and ill rather be in terrepin before ill be in the other 2 ,and it have a tier 2 bed and its a tank (4.8*the hp of the cutles red and it have better shields then the original terrepin with faster rechard rate) ill survive everything in the verse and i do the Save Stanton protect the haulers mission where im against 10 to 15 ships still coming out victorious 💪🏻 the C8R you sneeze then your F***king dead, the cutter is a last min slapped together ship it doesn't even look like a medical ship inside 😂😂 it comes from Grimex with dirty needles and bandages😂😂

[@jamesinthewild1656]

Never forget there is first cool and second cool. First kind of cool is functionality, capabilities, advantage of this over that, measurable and quantifiable. Then there is second cool and that is quite simply subjective, something that you just like. It might not be the best at something but for whatever personal reasons you have, it just scratches and itch for you. I have always liked the terrapin, I don't know why, i just have. This came out, melted og terrapin and bought this one. For me and the way i play it just makes more sense. The best thing about second kind of cool, you dont have to justify it to anyone. You just liked it or it just makes sense to you and at the end if the day, that is all that matters because you are the one buying it and flying it. For me it is the terrapin asthetic and performance, the t2 medbed, and the locking cockpit door. It certainly looks like you can put several 1 or 2 scu boxes in there if you wanted.

Costs near the same price as an Apollo. No one rarely sends med beacons, no proper medical gameplay missions, no bed to logout. The ship is basically useless other than using it as a respawn point but even then there are cheaper options.

Thanks for the video I decided to wait for the Apollo because it seemed to combine the most important parts of the Cutlass Red and the Terrapin Medical together. Red offers space for supplies and is more capable in a fight. Medical offers toughness and stealth and tier2 bed. I think Apollo offers toughness and space for supplies, as well as top tier bed and drones for rescue. With the drones I suspect the Apollo will be better at extracting someone injured from a hot zone … and doing medical missions. Or just take a . For now I will keep my C8R ;)

You said exactly what I was thinking when I took a look at the Terrapin. I bought the Cutty Red specifically for bunker missions etc. The C8R is a fantastic little ship that I have been using a lot especially after a wipe. I usually put 2, 1 SCU containers in it. One for spare armor, weapons, and ammo in case of re-spawn and one to collect guns and armor from the bunkers.

[@angelg888]

Thanks for the well made comparison/review; much needed for those who were considering melting the Cutlass Red for upgrading to the Medical Terrapin. I think the hype on this new ship is overdone. But expect some upgrades in future patches on the Medical Terrapin ; they could program it for you to log out from the medical bed itself.

[@robertososa8467]

first: I think there should be an option in this game to buy supplies for your ships, if they have the internal capacity for it ( just like the CR8 ) or a supply box like in sea of thieves. Second: The terrapin should be like a frontline medi-evac ship, if they want to mantain the size, put more guns on it ( a manned turret or just more armament like missles), if not they should make it a bit bigger so it fits at least 2 ( better 3) medbeds. because right now its just a big Mule that cant carry anything. I like the concept and how it looks but they need to take in account how the ships are gonna be used and wich are the direkt competitors for that ship.

[@ajsalem2005]

lol the WHOLE point of the terrapin is its armor, THIS is the front line extraction vehicle. Look at that landing gear, its made to slam into the ground quick fast and in a hurry, take the hits while theyre on the ground, and fuck off quick with the vtol.

The terrapin was originally a dropship in the lore. Having a version with two side doors and lining the walls with jump seats would have been a lot more fun than another ambulance ship.

[@kebasor]

Well, so much wrong here. The reason the Terrapin Medical doesn't make sense to you is you don't understand where these three ships stand. The C8R Pisces is a shuttlecraft meant to operate from a ship into safe areas that have very limited landing space. Any weapons fire will rip it to shreads, and it has little range. The Cutlass Red is a full starship with larger capacity for patients and crew, the ability to fight, and the cargo room to operate for long periods on its own, but again, it is designed to operate in mostly safe areas and will get cut to pieces under fire. Both of these are only for treatment of minor injuries and stabilization. Neither will have respawn capability in the future. The Terrapin Medic is a short-duration ship that, like the C8R, is meant to operate from a base or ship and for limited duration missions. Unlike either the C8R or Cutlass Red, it is heavily armored to be able to ignore most small ship and ground weapons, and its medical bed is capable of treating serious wounds the other two cannot treat. It remains to be seen if it will retain respawn capabilities, but likely not once T1 beds come online. Still the Terrapin Medic is meant to go where neither the Cutlass Red or C8R could survive going and get the patient out alive. And that is what you are missing in this review. Bottom line: all three ships are meant for different purposes and are built with those in mind. The Terrapin Medic is a more capable medical care ship that is also able to survive direct ground combat situations where the other two would be destroyed, and that is the whole point of it. If you intend to operate in safer areas, treat less serious injuries, or engage in long-duration missions, then yes, other ships will do a better job, but none of them will do what the Terrapin Medic is designed for better.

[@pallmsunday6667]

[@Frizzings]

You’re wrong about respawn all med beds permanently support this now

[@kebasor]

@@Frizzings The capabilities of the various Tiers of medbeds was spelled out many years ago, and there has been no official change of that document. That medbeds currently allow respawning in order to promote sales of new medical ships and vehicles and to offset the many lethal bugs in the game right now does not alter the fundamental purposes of why there are tiers to medbeds and what they can or can't do. Further, the very fact they changed this aspect several times should be proof that permanence is anything but applicable here.

[@LordCritish]

Yep! Cutlass Red: Two med beds, 12 SCU cargo, docking hatches, much more guns, LOG BEDS. Half the price of the Terrapin. Medical Terrapin: One med bed. To be fair, the Terrapin has a shit ton of HP and a smaller cross section but that's about all. I like the Terrapin design a lot but the advantages of the Cutty Red are very clear.

[@Cathrynne]

CIG is happily cashing in for big profit selling ships for ridiculously high prices whilst slow walking on SC progress because there are still people who happily cater for it...

[@87MockingOwl]

for that price they should add bed for log out

[@gemreviews2840]

bed, gun rack, generous storage. thats just to keep it somewhat close to the Red which can still carry 12 scu of cargo and load up a vehicle

I can't wait for the usual nerfs to drop in on the Terrapin which is usually not very long after sales have concluded (within 3 to 6 months top)? See how much of a $200 ($220 store credits) frontline extraction vehicle remains once they're done making it another flying turd to drive the next sales.. 😂😂

[@Bronwyn031]

The coping in the comment section on justifying the Medi-pin is crazy. Just no! No one is taking a medi-pin down to the active vanguard of an assault force to gather the injured. You would NEVER ever do that. You would not risk exposing your medical teams to that kinda threat. You would move the injured to the rear of the vanguard away from the fight to gather or treat them. In that case, the Cutty Red achieves the same goal as using a medi-pin and delivers SOOOOOOOOOO much more. Just stop! SMH. The Medi-pin was DOA on arrival with the Cutty Red already in the game.

[@rockinoubatboy87]

Dude who cares about the shield when it has that much hull health. This thing isn't for air combat. Lol what it CAN do is #1 medical beacons (obviously). And #2 it will rock for taking to bunkers for a close fast respawn if you die. The C8R is toast if you pull up to a bunker with turrets. Also it's a lever 2 medical bed. Not just level 3 like the other 2 you compared. I've flown the cutty red. It's slow and big and an easy to hit target.

Well I can see why you dont see any reason with it. Its because lack of game mechanics though.

How do you extract the patient you have started surgery on? And 2nd when you open up the ship, all air inside the ship would get sucked out. 3rd where do the medical staff strap in if in combat.?

Usually people who have no understanding of military operations are confused by certain ships.

This is Rescue under fire, the C8R is not for that and not even the Cutty red.

People who have actually been in combat are better suited to explain military ships, stick to Origin or some shit.

One thing i think this design is really lacking is a secondary seat of some kind. In your scenario, injured player will be healed in 30 seconds or so.
