The Scarab II Guided Missile Bomber is a lightweight platform for the deployment of HS Pattern GASP missiles. It is faster than the original Scarab, but the most noticeable upgrade is the replacement of the original kinetic payload with thruster driven guided missiles. Unlike it's atmospheric counterpart, the Tarantula, the Scarab does not include it's own reloading system and is instead reloaded by a dedicated reloading system based on a carrier or starbase. Whilst under load it is not a particularly manoeuvrable craft, but it's performance increases dramatically after it's payload has been deployed, allowing it to rapidly return to it's carrier for reloading. Despite it's speed and strong attack versus large vessels, it is defenceless against enemy small attack craft and must be escorted by fighters such as the Wasp Interceptor.

• Use Toolbar 1, 2, 3 & 4 to launch missiles. These are guided by the Scarab's orientation.
  
• Use Toolbar 5 to view targeting camera
  
• Use Toolbar 6 to toggle missile reload projectors.
  

The reload system for this ship will be integrated into the Athena II Star Carrier which should be released sometime in the next month or so. In the meantime, if you would like to reload the Scarab, build four welder banks as shown in the last screenshot. Projectors for the missiles are switched via a short cut in the cockpit tool bar.

I try to make all my ships suitable for use in survival, if you use my ships and find a bug/problem, let me know.
