Scourge Advice for a New Player

Hi,

We've started a small community (4 players including myself : Scourge, UCM, Resistance, Shaltari) locally and I am flying Scourge.

From the experts here what are the key takeaways and paths to victory for my fleet?

I see a lot of Close Action and Scald weapons but only Scan 6 so it seems like I get forward while under silent running to avoid too much incoming fire. Then on a critical turn I dash forward into Scan range, do as much damage as I can. Then the turn after because of the high base speed even moving half from both players means I generally am now past them and out of Scan range again. So I functionally get one turn where my weapons do their thing and then have degraded performance.

How do I manage the ranges and maneuvers to get the most value out of Scald and Close Action?

What are the key ships in each category? Stand outs that are excellent and which are 'traps' that look good but don't really work properly?

Is trying to use the Mines and Torpedoes Corruptor worth it? It's one of the unique things about the fleet but is it a dud?

Thanks!
