'''Scouts''' will always answer a call from an [[Punisher|Alien Punisher]] when it is attacking any player or Starbase. Hordes of '''Scouts''' can easily destroy [[Starbase]]s, even if said Starbase is the maximum level. They will either start to scatter, go to another nearby Punisher (if there is one), or move away from the location when the Punisher they are called to is destroyed. | '''Scouts''' will always answer a call from an [[Punisher|Alien Punisher]] when it is attacking any player or Starbase.

Even when using these ships, the pilot has to be at point blank range (200 studs or less) to have a high chance of actually hitting the scout. This will most likely entail warping, as the '''Scout '''is 4x as fast as the Loyalist, and 7x as fast as the Tempest. | Even when using these ships, the pilot has to be at point blank range (200 studs or less) to have a high chance of actually hitting the scout.
