Notes:
While the slowest of the Heavy Scouts by 4 MPS, the Vedette is still an impressive craft in
several regards. It possesses the most cargo space of the Heavy Scouts, making the ship
excellent for artifact hunting. It also possesses 4 MODx slots and the most maneuverability of any
Heavy Scout (thanks to its Quicksilver heritage), making it a semi-viable choice in fleet combat if
it must fight alongside the fleet it is spotting for. The armor is a bit of a worry – a single volley from
a Dragon or Monsoon can almost blow right though this fragile ship. With smart piloting, however,
the Vedette makes for an excellent scout craft when utilizing the Night Watchman sensor
package.
