Are they supposed to be "weak" and then make up for it in numbers perhaps?

They're probably meant to be a weaker thargoid variant for solo players.
Consistent with the thargoids in the original game, which needed to be beatable in single player. Taking an Anaconda to fight them seems overkill. Someone should try to take them on in a Cobra, like the old days!

So judging by the barnacle log being the only logo these scouts have......does that mean they are being grown from them??? I mean it makes sense that the large ships get in range, plant the seeds, nurture them until they grow and then the fun begins...just speculation and it has been said before.
From what I've seen, they are hostile when you jump in.
Somebody was able to scan them with the AX scanner?
Any instances of them jumping out so we can scan the wake?
There are reports of scouts being combined with "normal" thargoid variants in instances.
It seems they are always hostile so I would assume any testing with various cargo items etc. wouldn't yield meaningful results...

The scouts attack you as soon you jump in it's crazy aha they're instantly hostile.
Ahhh my bad haha I think I skimmed over the "friendly and peaceful" comment...
Here's my encounter with Scouts in the Beta. They were definitely hostile from the get-go

PS I have since learned about Decontamination Limpets. They work.

I’m loving the new scout NHUSSs in Wyrd so far. The first one I dropped into had two regular NPCs (a Cobra and Viper) getting attacked by 6 scouts. We cleaned ‘em out in about 5 minutes, but it was great fun.
The NPCs even have dialogue unique to NHUSS interaction. The Cobra pilot said something to the effect of “I gotta say, am I the only one creeped out by this?”. Afterwards, they were chatting to eachother about the damage they sustained. Very cool! [up]
