Discoverer P4-X

The Discoverer is aptly named, given that it fills the scouting role in the Outcast Fleet. Classed as a HF, the Discoverer has decent combat capability, but some particularly daredevil pilots have been known to challenge CapShips in these crafts. While few have survived, some have proved that speed can make all the difference. The Outcasts Discoverer compared to other ships in the Outcast Fleet, is relatively young. Medium armed, it is versatile, and very manoeuverable. It is also the preferred training fighter for Outcast pilots. Today they are also used for scouting and it is quite common to find a small wing of these ships accompanying an exploration craft.

This pirate variant is faster and usually has a higher shield generator power than its regular counterpart, but trade off cargo capacity and some have reduced shield capacity despite the more powerful generator.
