Scorpion

Scorpion is a heavy-duty, long-range missile cruiser.

Properties
Scorpion fires four non-homing missiles at a constant rate. It has the same firepower as Athena, but targets ships as well as structures, and doesn't fire in bursts.

Scorpion is one of the most expensive Mediums, and has the best armor of that ship class.

Strategies

 * Scorpion can be used in place of Athena because of its significantly greater Armor value and range, but has reduced damage output.
 * Scorpion has almost double the cost efficiency when used with Naval Yard, as building four Scorpion Stardocks costs 700/1,300, while a single Scorpion Naval Yard costs 325/625.
 * Scorpion will excel at attacking when working alongside Falcon or Rapier due to their anti-fighter capabilities, which Scorpion isn't that good at.
 * With Naval Yard, a group of Scorpions can easily overwhelm a single Phalanx.
