Description

This lightweight scout's hybrid propulsion is comprised of two large atmo thrusters for hovering, launching, and landing in atmospheres; hydrogen thrust for sideways manoeuvrability; plus one Ion booster for forward acceleration in space. Switch the thrusters on and off as needed to not waste energy/fuel!

Being battery powered, it usually relies on its connector and external support ships or carriers to recharge. Although it does not have any cargo containers to store ice, it does contain two O2 H2 Generators for fast emergency hydrogen production, making it somewhat useful as a medium-range scout craft that can refuel at ice asteroids.

In case the scout is detected or has been assigned a sabotage mission, it is armed with a small-grid Gatling turret, four fixed Gatling guns, and one missile launcher.

This ship is available for purchase from NPC Trading Outposts owned by Builder type factions for around 20,000,000 Space Credits, putting it in a medium price range.

It is suitable for search contracts and lower-level acquisition and escort contracts. It is not effective for hauling cargo or mining trips. If you cannot afford specialised ships that are highly optimised for space/atmosphere, or exploration/battle, this ship is a good allrounder to choose.
