	Some AI-controlled ships, such as the [[VUX]] [[Intruder]], [[Umgah]] [[Drone]], [[Ur-Quan]] [[Dreadnought]], and [[Ilwrath]] [[Avenger]], are vulnerable to various AI exploits involving use of the Mendōkusai Energy Dart. Generally, one either circles the enemy ship, firing darts, or in the case of Ur-Quan, shoots down fighters until the mothership is vulnerable to an attack run with the Glory Device.

			If the enemy ship is destroyed by the Glory Device the Shofixti anthem will be played as if victory was assigned to the fallen hero. Importantly the player who controlled the Scout will chose his next ship after the player who controlled the ship destroyed by the Glory Device and knowing the choice of the enemy which (provided the selection is not random) may give him advantage in the following fight.

	Against a [[VUX]] [[Intruder]], this vessel is all but unstoppable. It can outrun the Intruder and its limpets, and the Scout's Energy Dart has a greater range than the Intruder's laser. Circle the enemy, raining fire upon it, until victory is yours. The Umgah falls in a similar manner.

The [[Glory Device]] is effective against the [[Chmmr]] [[Avatar]] because it can destroy two, or sometimes even three [[Avatar#Additional\|ZapSats]] if activated at short range. The shields installed on [[Utwig]] [[Juggers]] and [[Yehat]] [[Terminators]] are also incapable of blocking Glory Device damage, making these ships vulnerable as well. Additionally, the following ships have small enough crew complements that they can be killed outright with the Glory Device:

	~~Against the~~ [[~~Dreadnought~~]], ~~the best that the Scout can hope for is to destroy the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za's fighters to the point where the crew is low enough to be destroyed by the glory device~~. ~~Although both ships are destroyed~~, ~~a ship with~~ the ~~value of 5 was sacrificed to destroy a ship with the value of 30!~~

	~~Against many other~~ ships~~, the Scout is weak, but proper use of the Energy Dart and Glory device can sap the strength of the enemy ship so that others may~~ have ~~an easier time destroying it. Ships with a~~ small crew ~~complement (either from battle damage or with a normally small crew complement)~~ can ~~instantly~~ be killed with the Glory device. Strategically, this means that the cheaper Scout can kill a more expensive ship simply by activating the Glory device. Slow ships with a small crew complement are particularly vulnerable to this tactic because they cannot escape a Scout that wishes to activate the Glory device.

	~~Undamaged ships that the Glory device can instantly destroy at short range include the following~~:
	*[[Arilou Lalee'lay]] [[Skiff]]		*[[Arilou Lalee'lay]] [[Skiff]]
	*[[Druuge]] [[Mauler]]		*[[Druuge]] [[Mauler]]

	*Another [[Shofixti]] Scout		*Another [[Shofixti]] Scout

	~~Some pilots prefer to simply use~~ the Scout ~~as a simple bomb~~, ~~ignoring~~ the Energy Dart, and ~~only carrying~~ the ship with ~~them~~ to ~~weaken~~ a ~~particularly hard~~ enemy.
			Against most other ships, the Scout is weak, but proper use of the Energy Dart and Glory Device can sap the strength of the enemy ship so that others may have an easier time destroying it. Damaged ships can also be finished off with a well-timed Glory Device detonation. Strategically, this means that the cheaper Scout can sacrifice itself to take down much more powerful ships. Slow, battle-damaged ships are particularly vulnerable to this tactic because they cannot escape a Scout that wishes to activate the Glory device.
