Swarmer

Alien Swarmer
The Alien Swarmer is the Alien equivalent of a Frigate and is well known for annoying Miners and Freighters. It is mostly black with small neon areas and has a bottom-mounted Turret.

Behavior
Swarmers will attempt to stay around 3 to 3.5K studs away from whatever they are attacking and may move below ships to maintain their turret's line of sight. When attacking a slow or stationary target, they are often seen moving back and forth in mostly straight lines. Have a tendency to go underneath ships to make it hard for main turrets to hit.

Alien Swarmer will always answer the call when Alien Punisher is attacking any player or Starbase. Hordes of Alien Swarmer can easily destroy Starbase even it was fully upgraded. They will either start to scatter or move away when the Punisher is destroyed.

We know only a few stats of this ship because players cannot pilot it:
 * Health: 400 Shield / 300 Hull.
 * Top Speed: 170.

Due to their small profile and high top speed, Alien Swarmers are best attacked using ships with high-accuracy Turrets. Light and Medium-sized Turrets, aside from Railguns, best fit these guidelines. Swarmers drop 38 items of loot, filling a cargo hold to 50.25 cubic meters of space. This loot consists of 14 Silicate, 13 Carbon, 2 Iridium, 2 Adamantite, 2 Palladium, 2 Titanium, 2 Quantium, and 1 Alien Part.
 * Armament: 1 Tiny Alien Laser.
