All the other Spirecraft ships are pretty impressive in various ways, but I must not be using the scouts correctly. I fly them over a few worlds, they run into a mine field and die instantly. Uh... ok? Standard scouts don't seem to be insta-dying on minefields all the time, but these do? I get the feeling I just don't know how to use them. Any wiser players care to enlighten me?
Edit: Now I see, they aren't immune to area damage. Looks like it's time to go post a suggestion on mantis instead.
