{{Quote|The Diamondback Scout is Lakon Spaceway's specialist combat explorer vessel. Unlike its bigger brother Asp, the Diamondback isn't suited as an all rounder vessel. It is popular with elite recon and pathfinder units with navies throughout human space. Its relatively low cost also makes it a popular choice with independent pilots who appreciate its combat and exploration potential.|In-game description}}<br />
The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a long range combat &'' reconnaissance'' [[ships|ship]] which was released in the [[Powerplay]] update.<br />
<br />
The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: 1 small side mounted hardpoint and 1 medium side mounted hardpoint on each side of the cockpit for a total of 2 medium and 2 small. These hardpoints have their aim points arranged in a straight horizontal line with little space between reticule dots making them very usable with fixed mounts. However their side mounting and close space also make good mounts for gimbaled and turreted weapons.<br />
<br />
This ship has animated engine pods that shift position and tilt when landing gear are deployed as well as a radiator panel on the top surface that opens when landing gear are deployed.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
{{Quote|The Diamondback Scout is [[Lakon Spaceways]]’ attempt to repeat the success of the [[Asp]] range at a medium price point. The result was a combat capable ship with good jump capability and was pitched as a light long range reconnaissance ship. After the ship’s maiden flight it was criticized for not having the same versatility as the Asp, but it has seen modest success in the long range reconnaissance, long range interceptor and fast picket ship roles for organisations not able or willing to invest in the heavy price tag of the Asp.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=347cbf826e Elite: Dangerous Newsletter #77]</ref>|In-game history}}<br />
