	The '''Diamondback Scout''' is a small [[Ships\|ship]] produced by [[Lakon Spaceways]]. It was conceived as an attempt to repeat Lakon's success with the [[Asp Explorer]] at a lower price point. The result was a capable small ship with good jump range, and it was marketed as a light reconnaissance craft that could be outfitted for [[combat]] or [[Explorer\|exploration]]. After the Diamondback Scout's maiden flight, however, it was criticized for its lack of versatility, but it nonetheless saw modest success in the long-range reconnaissance, long-range interceptor, and fast picket ship roles for organisations not able or willing to invest in more expensive vessels.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170720034319/http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=347cbf826e Elite Dangerous Newsletter #77]</ref> In an effort to address the shortcomings of the Scout, Lakon later released an enhanced variant called the [[Diamondback Explorer]].

	As an explorer, the Scout also performs well. At 30 LY without [[Engineers\|Engineering]], the Scout has a high jump range for its price, but is still outperformed by the cheaper [[Adder]] and [[Hauler]], although those two ships have their own shortcomings in the role. One drawback is the Scout's very restricting internal space, which can hamper [[Outfitting]] options, and its small fuel tank, but such limitations are to be expected with a ship in the Scout's low price range.

	The Scout is a poor choice for [[Trader\|trading]], [[Miner\|mining]], and [[Passenger Carrier\|passenger transport]]. It does have higher cargo capacity than the [[Adder]] at 28t, but the cheaper [[Cobra ~~MkIII~~]] surpasses it.
