Line 39:

# warp to any other parts of the system not covered by the initial d-scan, while assessing the corps of the people present in Local

# if nothing else is discovered, proceed to the out-gate, report out-gate status to FC, and move on

A "-1" or "minus one" scout performs essentially the same role, but secures the system behind a fleet instead.

Interceptors and covert ops frigates make excellent +1 ships, and interceptors in particular are ideal for the hunting +1 role. A Tech 1 tackling frigate can do quite well, especially if rigged with hyperspatial rigs for warp speed. Moreover, any ship can be pressed into service as a +1 scout in an emergency, and an FC who has lost all their scouts should pick an experienced pilot with a working mic in the fastest and most agile ship available.

In wormhole space, which prioritises stealth and probing more than known space, covert ops frigates and covert-configuration strategic cruisers can offer advantages over other options.

[[Interdictors]] can work well as -1 scouts, because this role synergizes well with their ability to slow down pursuers by bubbling gates.
