The Hover Scout is a fictional vehicle in the LEGO Rock Raiders theme. It is depicted as a small floating vehicle used for reconnaissance. A Hover Scout model was released in a LEGO construction set in the summer of 1999. The Hover Scout appears in LEGO Rock Raiders books and comics, and is one of the vehicles that can be used in the theme's tie-in computer and PlayStation video games.
Game information
Windows
In the Windows version of LEGO Rock Raiders, the Hovet Scout is classified as a Smapp Vehicle.[1] It costs one Energy Crystal to teleport down one Hover Scout.[2] It teleports down at the Teleport Pad.[3] Rock Raiders must be trained as Drivers to use this vehicle.[1]
The Hover Scout can travel across land and moves at a speed of 3 blocks per second.[1] This is the fastest default speed of any objects in the game; if upgrades objects are included, the Hover Scout's default speed is tied with the Small Transport Truck with an Engine upgrade and slower than only the Small Digger and itself with Engine upgrades. It can strafe[1] by pressing Z or X, an ability shared only with the Rock Raider, Tunnel Scout, and Granite Grinder.
Pre-release
The LEGO Rock Raiders instruction manual claims that Rock Raiders must be trained as Pilots to use the Hover Scout.[2] In the game it can only cross land, meaning that Rock Raiders must be trained as Drivers to use it instead.[1]
