Mass sniper fire (which ignores their radar dampening)
Only Sniper Turrets ignore radar dampening. Snipers don't.

Which is why Core Snipers are made of pure carnage.

Are the planes fast enough they overrun the Scout starship?

No. Space Planes have a speed of 172 and Mark I Scout Starships have 250. Mark IIs have 490 and Mark II and IV 730.

I stand corrected, Sniper Turrets ignore radar dampening but other snipers don't. Derp.

If you put a scout starship in the Space Plane control group and use the CTRLS pane to make them group move, they'll stay together.

I tried using Decloakers with Space Planes but IIRC they would continue to shoot when powered down, and then get killed.

That's a bug.

Yeah, I filed a mantis report when I first noticed: http://www.arcengames.com/mantisbt/view.php?id=12993

Just tried again, they still don't seem to respond to power down commands. 

Kind of frustrating, as the AI had raptors that game.
