Crucial for scouting enemy planets and gathering intel data. Be sure to bring at least one scout with you on every raid, to make sure you can see the full Planetary Summary. Mark IV Only: Immunity to Tachyon Beams as well. |

Note: Scout does not have a Mark V version.
How to use in your fleet
Note that because the Mark IV scout is immune to tachyon beams, it can never be directly targeted by the AI forces. It can only be hit by AOE attacks that are targeting another ship nearby and EMP effects will affect it as normal.
If you like to figure out how may scouts will survive per wormhole travelled, see the section on cloaking for further information on how cloaking boosters work.
How to counter when in the AI fleet
None.
