The Arilou Observer was designed to keep an eye on us. It will make its debut in the Fleet Battles beta 3 coming out next week.
Its is not generally designed for combat but its primary weapon is a plasma spreader that shoots bolts slowly in every direction. Its secondary weapon is a cloak which allows it to escape detection from curious humans.

In the above screenshot, we took the Arilou Observer into the Ship Design. Players can make new ships or create their own version of existing ships with their own set of weapons as well.
Star Control: Origins arrives on September 20. Add it to your Steam (or GOG) wishlist today!
