Summary0001362: Scouting train parasite
DescriptionIn essence, this would be a buildable from the "sup" tab of the command station and mobile builders. It wouldn't be able to go through wormholes; its only use would be to attach it to a passing astro-train. Once attached, it would be perma-cloaked, scouting, and take no energy at all (it hacks into the astro-train for its energy use). Its build cost would be semi-high for a scout (8000 metal, 2000 crystal) with a buildtime of a minute or so. Its cap would also be small, say 4 or so. Health-wise they'd be extremely frail, to the order of 1000 health (so an attrition emitter would kill these off, unless it was just a short pass).

Funny, someone else had a very similar idea over a year ago. Great minds think alike, etc. For now it's out of scope, but could be cool in the future.
