Description[]
The Scout is a versatile air-superiority fighter. Scouts start with a below average speed (for being air units) but they can be upgraded to make them faster by researching Gravitic Thrusters. They come with the innate ability to use Disruption Web to prevent units and buildings from attacking in a small area.
Scouts deal great amounts of single-target Explosive damage against air units, making them best against large flying units with a lot of armor, such as Battlecruisers, Carriers and Devourers, while Corsairs are generally better against large numbers of smaller and less armored targets. Corsairs are also as fast as speed-upgraded Scouts by default.
Scouts also have a weak anti-ground attack.
