Unmatched in their speed, Stratus are primarily used for scouting. Stratus have no offensive weaponry. Instead they are equipped with a beacon capable of tracking enemy movement for a time. They rely on their speed and maneuverability, and can be destroyed with ease by concentrated anti-air fire.
Though lacking weapons, the Stratus' quick speed makes it a very good scout
The Stratus' beacon lights the targeted unit, allowing vision on that unit until the beacon expires
While Nimbus and Warbird units are restricted to 4 per hangar, an unlimited number of Stratus units can be built
Stratus recon beacons now explode when they expire, dealing damage to the target and all nearby enemies. Best used on clumped enemy units.
Stratus gain the ability to detect stealth. Best used against enemies relying greatly on stealth.
