Scarab

undefined

General
The Scarab is a moderately armored Thorn Blocker, designed to impede enemy movement by flanking or frontal contact. It can also serve as a decoy, drawing enemy fire, while other ships can get into position.

Advantages
The Scarab is designed to be more offensive than the Trawler, dealing decent symmetrical damage to the Capital Ship and enemy ships alike.

The armor of the Scarab can help it tank nearly all ships with ease, while dealing some decent damage. It can also serve as a good decoy against the Capital Ship, while attacking it at the same time.

Disadvantages
With no onboard weapons, the Scarab is basically a sitting duck if it comes under fire from enemy ships, if its blocking another hull.

With only three deployments, conservative use of the ship is suggested, so that you can maximize its usefulness.
