{{Opinion}}
===Advantages===
===Advantages===
*Gives excellent armor which scales extremely well with level
* Gives excellent armor which scales well with level
*Gives heat resist and cold resist which scale well with level
**Is naturally [[sturdy]], preventing it from being [[cracked]]
*Completely weightless
* Gives heat resist and cold resist which scale well with level
*Causes members of the [[:Category:Tortoises (faction)|Tortoise]] faction to start friendly to the player
* Completely weightless
*At 10th level, is equivalent to a {{favilink|zetachrome lune}} with a higher heat and cold resistance and no acid/electric resistance.
* Causes members of the [[:Category:Tortoises (faction)|Tortoise]] faction to start friendly to the player
*If [[Mutations#Rapid Advancement|Rapid Advancement]] is used on the Carapace mutation, and / or if it is combined with [[Adrenal Control]], it can exceed the best armor in the game in effectiveness.
* At 10th level, is equivalent to an unmodified {{favilink|zetachrome lune}} with a higher heat and cold resistance, though no acid/electric resistance
* If [[Mutations#Rapid Advancement|Rapid Advancement]] is used on the Carapace mutation, it can exceed the best armor in the game in effectiveness


===Disadvantages===
===Disadvantages===
*At low levels, the DV penalty is strong enough to outweigh the AV bonus
* Permanently takes up the player's body slot
*Permanently takes up the player's body slot
* Can't be [[Item Mods|modded]], unlike regular body armor
* In the very late game, a modded suit of {{favilink|zetachrome lune}} will be superior to even level 10 Carapace in most respects, without costing any mutation points
