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]]. | The '''Diamondback Scout''' is a small [[Ships|ship]] produced by [[Lakon Spaceways]].
