Designer Notes
The Basilisk was released to fill a need for good scout machines, but could not do the job very well itself. The Silverscale was conceived as a scout variant, capable of handling all the necessary tasks a patrol leader would be faced with. It featured a more powerful radio, an upgraded sensor suite, an ECM package and a target designator installed on top of a deployable mast and assisted by a small camera. Both the engine housing and transmission were slightly reworked to accomodate this new equipment. The Secondary Movement System was given more powerful motoros and bigger all-terrain wheels. Some Silverscales were equipped with basic stealth systems, mostly pieces of thick RAM rubberized polymer placed at strategic places, such as the soles of the feet, the interior of the armor skirt, and the hands. These modifications were not widely used, mostly because the machines were chewing through the parts faster than they could be replaced. The Gear also carried slightly less armor than the basic Basilisk.
