Diamondback Scout
Template:Quote The Diamondback Scout is a long range combat and reconnaissance ship which was released in the Powerplay update.
The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: 1 small hardpoint on each side of the cockpit, and 1 medium 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.
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.
The ship has a relatively low heat output, great speed and manoeuvrability and is a popular choice for shieldless stealth builds.
