Scouts with ss2 are VERY difficult to shoot down with mk 1 tech.

Baha and I pounded on a scout for 2 minutes while it danced around, dropping prox and nanning a carrier back up. We happened to be Belters, so at the same time, enemy mk 1 ships were ripping in and having no trouble pounding us to pieces.

More importantly, it makes it very very hard for a scout to shoot down another scout. For a faction with starting figs, this is important, since sending scouts after other scouts is frequently the only way to get rid of a yayhoo cruising around your home, eyeing everything.

BTW: Tech upgrade costs of Omicron seems to vary between techpaths. Some are 27500, while others are 25000.
