Military Escort

SPRT Military Escort , portside rear 12/18/2016

The Military Escort is a small, but heavily-armed military ship that spawns when the "Cargo Ships" option is enabled in the world options. As the name suggests, it is likely designed to accompany ships in need of protection. Its cargo holds contain a significant amount of ammunition for its turrets, as well as some small arms and repair components.

Ever since the middle of the year 2016, recent updates of the Military Escort vessel include the capability of summoning assistance in the form of Incisor mk.1 drones. These simple drones close the distance with the Engineer and target the Engineer often directly.
