Overview
The Cougar ST (ST = Speedy Terminator) for Oolite has assumed the role of the very rare stealth ship that appeared in some versions of 8-bit Elite. Unlike its counterpart, it is not stealthy, but it is quite agile and very fast. They who command this craft are pirate hunters, but not for profit, since this ship is geared for combat and not commerce. You would be well advised not to attack the Cougar, either for fun or profit, for you will come away with neither.
The Cougar ST is commonly found in the more dangerous systems. If your travels take you to these places, their presence may be a godsend.
Player versus NPC Ships
The stealthy Cougar is faster, more agile, and has a better energy recharge rate. Additionally, it sports two subent forward beam lasers, but no aft laser.
Annoyances
With Target Autolock & BGS OXP's, the players ship will acquire a temporary lock follwed by a sound when it is lost. This sound will be repeated every time the Stealthy Cougar strikes. This can be quite annoying but since encounters are so rare it should not be that bad.
