Arcova Scout Frigate

Accustomed to the prolonged periods of isolation their long reconnaissance missions often require, Arcova crews make excellent forward observers for the fleet. Their powerful engines, ability to bypass enemy phase jump inhibitors and remote sensor equipment further enhance their intelligence role.
Extracted from the game manual.
While its lack of any real firepower prevents it from serving any early combat role, the Arcova is arguably the best early reconnaissance frigate of any empire. The Sensor Probe ability is easily and cheaply researched and provides an edge over the other two empires' scout frigates. In the late game, the timed explosive ability allows them to attack buildings with devastating effect, however the lack of armor means that this will most likely be restricted to supply line raids. Like all scout frigates it can be upgraded with a jump drive that is immune to the effects of phase jump inhibitors.
