Small Scout

General Information

This tiny craft is primarily used for reconnaissance or research. It normally precedes larger vessels at the start of an alien mission.

Additional Information

First off, its got no armament, so anything can shoot it down, with enough ammo. Assuming, of course, that you can catch up to it to shoot it, as its top speed is better than your Interceptors.

It carries ONE alien in it. The ship itself yields one unit of Alien Alloys, has no navigation, power source, or whatever. It resembles a Lunar Lander on legs; to enter, you have to walk under it and ascend a gravlift. No real reason to enter it though, there's usually nothing interesting there. The only thing that could be there is that one alien, and you can just shoot up the gravlift to kill him. Plus you can't ascend if he's there, since there's no room for 2 of you...

If, for some reason, you wish to shoot it down and not blow it out of the sky, you cannot use anything more powerful than, erm, someone help me out here, please? I know an Avalanche will blow it into pieces, and craft cannons will keep it intact.

I think the Stingray missile can bring it down intact. --Papa Legba 21:15, 18 December 2005 (PST)
