Specific Strategies

• Speed
  
  After Speed Upgrade at the Fleet Beacon, they are one of the fastest air units; they can attack and retreat quickly, outrunning enemy ships.
  
  
• Shield Battery
  
  If the Scouts loose a large amount of Shield Points, head for a group of Shield Batteries to recharge and head back into battle like new.

Note: Get all the Upgrades you can, even if it means making a second or third Cybornetics Core. 

Primary Targets: Science Vessels, Battle Cruisers (in few numbers), Overlords, Guardians, Defense Structures, non-anti-air units, Pylons. 

The Scouts require the following Upgrades:

• Air Weapons Level 1, 2, and 3 at the Cybornetics Core.
• Air Armor Level 1, 2, and 3 at the Cybornetics Core.
• Shield Upgrade Level 1, 2, and 3.
• Speed Upgrade at the Fleet Beacon.
• Increase Sight Range at the Fleet Beacon.

Arbiture Warp Types:

• Zealots + Reavers + Archons Combo
• Mass Reavers (See Reaver Drops)
• Air Fleet Warp

There are two main types of Reaver drops:

• Two-Reaver Shuttle Drop
  
  1. Make 2-4 Shuttles and load them with 2 Reavers each.  
  2. Sneak the shuttles, Corsairs, and Observers behind enemy lines.
  3. Drop the Reavers, preferably behind their mineral line. 
  
  Note: Keep the Corsairs nearby for anti-air; bring one shuttle full of zealots or Dragoons to block the enemy ground forces from the Reavers.
  
  Note: Requires time and micro but only midway through the tech tree.  It is quite expensive as well; 600 minerals and 200 gas for each shuttle load of Reavers.
  
  Upgrades you should get:
  
  
  • Increase Shuttle Speed at the Fleet Beacon.
  • Air Armor Upgrades 1, 2, and 3 at the Cybornetics Core.
    
    
• Arbiture Reaver Drop/Reaver Warp
