As I traveled around the Gemini planets trying to scout them out for specific mantis I ran into more D squads than I'd have liked to. I've encountered problems scouting before in Antares as well especially when the game decided that lagging in the middle of my Afterburning was a good idea. I think that there should be a player controlled drone available that would be specifically for scouting.
The drone would be have a higher base speed than most if not all ships. It would Have only the following components which would not be upgradable or interchangeable.
- Repair component
- Afterburner component
- Scrambler component
- Shield component
I also think that the drone should have a stealth component. It would simply make it undetectable to enemies for the time duration of the skill. Upon destruction the player would have to purchase another drone from the hangar in a similar way that you repair your ships or the drone could be materialized for an energy cost.

i would love to have one just to scout new planets, as when i first arrive at a new system, i am way too weak! anyways, i think it should act like a ship, that you must jump in in the hangar, and will be consuming energy just by flying over the planet.
