Medium Scout

General Information

A medium sized scout vessel that poses little threat to earth forces. Normally appears before larger vessels during missions.

Additional Information

This ship isn't a big threat. Avalanche missiles will put it down, usually.

Ship carries ONE power source, and two Navigations.

This is a one-level ship, octagon-shaped, with no interior walls and the power source in the center of the craft.

Several aliens will be inside the ship and a few outside during missions. Sometimes the aliens can hide behind the power source so be sure to check the corners after breaching the doors!

If you're unlucky, and the power source was destroyed during the crash, there'll be a nice big hole in the ship during recovery. The location of the hole varies. Feel free to toss big explosives into the hole as there will be no elerium to recover anyway.

Notes

• If there's no other way to enter aside from the hatch, your best bet may be to set up a firing line outside-- the sort used in Reaction Training-- and wait them out. The aliens will usually start coming out at turn 20 or so. Anyone trying to charge through that hatch will probably run into at least 2, usually more, aliens on the inside waiting to shoot anyone who comes through.
