The first Scorpion-class battleship was launched only a couple of years ago, and those that have been built are considered to be prototypes. Little is known of its capabilities, but what has been garnered suggests that the Scorpion is crammed to the brink with sophisticated hi-tech equipment that few can match.

Summary

The Scorpion gets a bonus to jammer strength and a large bonus to range. The scorpion has 8 mid slots and 5 low slots, but because the mids are largely taken up by jammers it is usually armor tanked with its 5 lows, and as a result it has a comparatively weak tank for a battleship. Due to its unrivalled ECM abilities and its comparatively weak tank for its size it is almost always targeted first in any fleet engagement.

Skills

Electronic warfare is the bread and butter of the Scorpion. It is the sole skill necessary to field Tech 2 jammers and signal distortion amplifiers. However, Frequency Modulation, Long Distance Jamming, and Signal Dispersion all boost some aspect of your jammers, making them excellent skills to train to level 4 at the lowest. You will also want all the skill to field a full tech 2 armor or shield tank to boost your survivability. Heavy Missiles, Cruise Missiles, or Torpedoes are not essential, but will help to squeeze some dps out of your five launcher slots. Alternatively, train Capacitor Emission Systems to level 5 to fit tech 2 large neuts.

Tactics

There are two ways to fit the Scorpion.

  • The first way is to fit a shield tank and a small number of jammers in the mid slots and signal distortion amplifiers in the lows. This path banks on the higher chance of your jams actually landing to fit a stronger tank.
  • The second way is to fit a full rack of 8 rainbow jammers in the mid slots and an armor tank in the low slots. This method relies on the sheer number of jammers it has to actually land the jam. This method is generally more popular because you have more chances to land a jam.
