Omg I finally got it. So the Terrapin has been bugging me where they drew there inspiration for the concept from. I'm not tech savvy enough but look up an Earth Alliance Transport from the series Babylon 5. Big flying rectangular box. Thats gotta be it.

I'm kind of hoping that they allow you to swap out the scanner on top for something else. Like a gun turret or more armor, and then use it as a heavily armored blockade runner/freighter.

It says you can in the description.
"The standard Terrapin explorer is rated for a crew of two, a pilot and a scanner operator (though one can easily fill both positions in most situations.) Terrapin captains often refer to themselves as ‘drivers’ rather than pilots, a nod to the ship’s similarity to a flying tank. An S4 utility mount atop the ship allows for a diverse set of roles. A dish-type scanner is the most commonly installed, as it directly benefits most of the Terrapin’s popular rules (including exploratory scanning, search and rescue tracking and in some cases spaceborne warning and control when outfitted as an armored command ship.)"

Ended up getting the UEE EXPLORATION PACK - LTI and I get to use my shiney new 20% off coupon so it is only $395.00 for the Carrack, Terrapin, and a Dragonfly. All of them have LTI :)
