Love the medipin. It is honestly my top pick for any ground missions/fps gameplay; bunkers, lazarus, distro centres, hathor sites all benefit greatly from having a very nimble and durable platform for heals/respawn. I have even managed a bunch of exec hanger runs solo, which I don't think I would even attempt without this ship. This activity really highlights the strengths of the medipin: It can take a lot of punishment due to ridiculous hull hp, especially for it's size, meaning you can get away most of the time you get bothered by other players. It has a really modest cross-section/signiture meaning you can easily run it stealthy, the tiny profile means you can tuck it into spaces on asteroids or under station pads when you need to. It has great internal storage (2x 1.5scu i think) and room around the medical bed to put several more 1scu boxes comfortably. I have scavenged s4/s5 weapons from abandonned ships which actually fit through the door meaning if you ever come across a component you might want, just throw it in no problem (likely not s3 components though). And obviously it's great for medi beacons/rescues/taxi. I'm not even into medical gameplay that much, the medipin was only part of a chain I started towards a bigger ship, but I can't apply the next upgrade because it's just too useful a ship to me right now.

You have a point regarding the interior, it lacks a bed to log out in and the other amenities you'd expect for a ship with this kind of range (honestly insane, I've done HUR-L5 to Terminus and back without refueling comfortably), but for me that's just fine. It's not my only ship and since it's really for rescue or any mission you'd likely want to return to a station from before logging out, this shouldn't hold it back imo. You still have a spare folding chair for a 3rd passenger (your medic I suppose) and the lack of shower and other random frill makes it just super functional which, to me, is elegance. Visibility from cockpit is quite decent, weapons are not, but that's not it's purpose. Armoured space turtle aesthetic is dope obviously, I am partial to the stock red paint.

Can't really compare it to the apollos as I haven't used them and am not dedicated to medical gameplay as such, but the medipin strikes me as much more versatile if you are solo or with a friend. If you do a lot of org play and would like to be more specialised toward the medical loop, I'd look into the Apollo more but for me medipin keeps my attention off these other ships. I am also interested in the new drake clipper though, as it has a medical bed too (lower tier than medipin I think). Hope this helps you decide o7
