What sort of operational range should we expect from the Blade? It's referred to as a "Scout." Is it carried-based like a Super Hornet and Gladiator, or is it capable of longer range engagements.

Operationally, the Blade is short range and is almost unstoppable in a swarm, but without the support of its brothers, the Blade can be exposed and vulnerable. Only expert pilots should think about taking one out too far.
