THE JUMPGATE DEFINITIVE GUIDE - Tripod

SCOUTS
Much like the Quantar fleet, the Solrains really possess only one useful scout-class vessel, the
Vedette Heavy Scout. With many Solrain pilots content with the way things are in this
classification, it seems highly unlikely that the Quicksilver will receive any attention from
engineers at T&P in the near future.

Notes:
The Quicksilver is like the Simoom in that it is an outdated ship for its time. Not as fast as the
Heavy Scouts, over-engined (unless you wish to put an Antagonizer or Instigator into the ship,
which still doesn’t power Rushes correctly and doesn’t make the ship any faster), and under-
MODxed, perhaps the most remarkable thing about the Quicksilver is its maneuverability. While
its pitch is atrocious, it actually yaws and rolls tolerably. That still isn’t enough to make up for its
small radar, however; the Quicksilver is primarily the tool of those pilots who can’t afford better.
