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; the Cougar 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 business takes you to these places, their presence may be a godsend.
