Pirate Longbow (Scout)

 

*** NOTE: The Pirate Longbow is not included in the patch for Artemis 2.6! *** You will have to download it from this post on the forums, here. It may be released in a later revision. The download will also fix the issue of the Pirate vessels not listing their supply of Mines.

 

The Pirate Scout, known as the "Longbow", appears very similar to an oversized TSN Fighter. It may have been built on a TSN or Ximni Scout hull, which was stripped down and rebuilt in this configuration. It is the fastest ship in the game, with a maximum relative Warp speed of 5.67. It is extremely maneuverable as well, able to turn as quickly as its own Adventure shuttle, with 300% power to its gravitic maneuvering systems.

 

In terms of firepower, the Longbow is almost identical to the Scouts of the other two factions. It carries a single forward firing beam, doing the same damage as a standard TSN beam, and has standard shields as well. It lacks the rapid fire rate of the other Pirate vessels. It does trade a Mine for two additional Homing torpedoes, but is otherwise identical to other Scouts, with just a single launcher and no Nukes. It may pick up 2 Nukes as a reward for a side mission to help out an allied ship in the sector.

 

Despite its small size, the Longbow carries the usual communications and science equipment, and can fulfil the usual role of reconnaissance and investigation for a fleet of players. As a Pirate vessel, it can fulfil infiltration and light raiding roles as well. If equipped with Jump Drive instead of warp, it can be somewhat tedious and involve to jump into a subsector and explore it at impulse speeds, but the Longbow's high speed can help with that.

 

Of all the Pirate vessels, the Longbow is particularly suited to Jump Drive. While it is nowhere near as efficient as a Ximni Scout, it is more efficient than a TSN Scout, and will be able to Combat Jump as well. Despite the fact that the Longbow's maximum Warp is so far, it may be more efficient to use Jump Drive, and cover ground between jumps at impulse speeds. Note that a TSN Scout has more efficient warp engines, but the Longbow can go faster, which saves a little energy because the trip takes less time.
