'''Swarmers''' will always answer a call from an [[Punisher|Alien Punisher]] when it is attacking any player or Starbase. Hordes of '''Swarmers''' can easily destroy [[Starbase]]s, even if said Starbase is the maximum level. Even if the Punisher or ship they were called to was destroyed, the leftover fleet stays, unless they are called to another Alien ship. Additionally, it appears that spawning Swarmers, along with [[Bruiser]]s and [[Outrider]]s, will still go to a calling Punisher's location for a few minutes even after it is destroyed. | '''Swarmers''' will always answer a call from an [[Punisher|Alien Punisher]] when it is attacking any player or Starbase.

Due to their small profile and high top speed, '''Swarmers''' are best attacked using ships with high-accuracy [[Turrets]]. Light and Medium-sized [[Turrets]], aside from Railguns, best fit these guidelines. | Due to their small profile and high top speed, '''Swarmers''' are best attacked using ships with high-accuracy [[Turrets]].
