SRV in Odyssey

Is it just me or is the SRV completely useless beyond stomping scavengers in low security settlements?

• terrible mobility, uncontrollable spinning if you want go faster than a snail, gets stuck on everything
• large hitbox but still extremely squishy
• no repair macro
• no modules/upgrades/engineering (a shield cell bank or point defense would give it purpose again
• attacked by everything (ships, goliaths, turrets, on-foot) but can't do shit against anything but on-foot enemies
• attacked while you are on-foot, enemies actively seek it out
• [edit] enemies chicken out after a single hit, hide behind cover until shield is full, come back for a few shots and repeat

It feels better to just bunker up in a building and shoot entering enemies one by one rather than strategically placing the SRV behind a wall, baiting enemies there and jumping into it. By the time you have turret controls up, shields are already down
