To preface with the words of a wise man.
"Don't let your dreams keep you from waking up" (I'm not entirely sure what he meant, but it sounds wise)

You fine, wonderful devs have taken the concept of "handles like a dream" and made it a reality. Truly, the Scorpion Combat Surface Vehicle (I refuse to use another moniker, sorry <3 ) handles superbly. You can feel the "oomph" in the vehicle and you can feel it especially well when you swap back and forth between a Scarab to compare. It's just SO good.
The sound design is gorgeous, nothing new for Frontier but it really bears mention. From acceleration to deceleration, weapons discharge from the gun and, my god the missile-system. Whoever did the work on that should have at least two extra tea-rations for the month of december. That is some MEATY soundwork, bravo!
Speaking of the gun weapons though, this is where unfortunately my only complaint comes in. The initial spread of the turret means you will -never- be able to land the first shot where you aim. You also probably won't land the fifth and it is debatable if you'll land the tenth. Now, this is a -rapid- fire weapon, don't get me wrong, but with 4 pips in weapon, I was only able to see accurate fire on skimmers after draining maybe 20-25 percent of the capacitor and that's something that -I- personally hope gets adjusted.
With all that said. A very very big THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to the development team behind the Scorpion. You've done a superb job and I am very happy.

PS: Yes I absolutely love the choice of name for the vehicle as well, 21/10.
Edited to add some FAQ answers based on my own experiences.
1. The Scorpion can seat two people, can you use everything solo? Yes you can. Turret, gun and missile works fine as a solo pilot.
2. Can it scoop and grab materials? Yes, tested with zero problems.
3. What happens if I buy it in Odyssey and try to deploy it in Horizon? I will update when I have an answer, Have not tested yet.
4. Where do I buy one? Any military ground installation in Odyssey with outfitting or megaship, Shin-Dez being the obvious exception because Shin-Dez.
